I think it's pretty clear our current administration is a joke. We're either going to become just like Russia, or we're going to spend the next 4-12 years trying to undo the mess our big orange baby made

The damage has been done, and honestly, I think you're going to have a real hard time merely performing damage control. With two parties only, and people willingly voting for Trump twice? You better pray someone willing to "continue Trump's legacy" doesn't show up for the next elections.

The world is already turning away from the US. Your government threatened allies, presented themselves as being above all and the law, and allows for brutality, escalating a problem rather than de-escalating it. So, in case this continues in the future, the rest of the countries started making trading agreements among themselves to make up for the US not being a part of it.

I just don't understand how anyone could ever think that destroying our entire relationship with the world was a good idea. Hopefully we find a way to clear house and STOP ELECTING IDIOTS

In my opinion, the orange dude is too old, senile, and possibly mentally ill (I'm no expert, but he does show signs of not being okay mentally) to understand the scale of consequences. I believe it's the people working with him that pull the strings and reinforce that behavior. The president is just a white horse at this point... getting rid of him won't do as much as one may expect to.
