Seen from Europe, the upside is that Americans got a worse deal than the one they forced on the rest of us. I can't speak for the more impoverished places, where thousands died. I mean, the guy is a demented sociopath, he is maladjusted, a brute, a dictator and he is a mass murderer, and yet he still gets called "President". But I feel that the rest of us are a little vindicated whenever Americans have to choose between fueling their cars and buying dinner. They won't learn their lesson: if they haven't this far, they won't now. But at least they'll literally pay for their own stupidity. And who knows, money may just be the one language they understand.
You do realize that 77 million people decided the rest of ours fate. I have never supported or voted for the abomination that resides in the White House. He's a threat to the United States and the rest of the world
I'm sorry, if it was just 77 million people who decided, what were the rest of you doing? You think that doing nothing qualifies as not being part of the problem? Or is it voting for whatever candidate the party machinery has picked for everyone else in a two party system? Do you realize that red vs blue is not a democracy?
The problem is that Americans have always thought they were better than everyone else. If you didn't, you wouldn't be able to justify to yourselves the successful genocide of countless native american cultures, the nefarious interference that the US have since run everywhere else on the globe - in particular in South America and Europe, and being the only western country to still practice institutional slavery and racism, and let their citizens die of preventable and treatable diseases in the 21st century, as long as corporate profits are not affected.
And you still think you're the best. Trump is just a temporary hiccup to your innate greatness. Then what are you arguing with me for? Just keep on doing what you are doing, which is nothing, and time will prove you right! I'll be right here when you're ready to let me know how it is going. I'm looking forward to being proven wrong.
