It's going to be this way every election, ain't it? Basically two year election cycle of Trump once again running, all the fears of him winning, then he looses, and we get next 4 years of him talking shit and "raising concerns".

It's not about Trump (the dude may not even live much longer, he looks awful).

It's about all the people who support his values and way of thinking and use him as a distraction while they erode democratic rights and processes. America is undergoing a tremendous divide which may lead to the federation coming apart and individual states breaking away. That's what's worrying the rest of us, not the POTUS making a fool of himself on TV.

God I wish, US's balkanization would be such a blessing to the entire world.

It would be hilarious for sure

That sounds like an overall good thing though? Especially for the rest of the world.

Does it? I'm not looking forward to whichever side decides they want part of Canada.

Vaguely points to everywhere - the middle-east, Asia, Africa, everything

I am enlightened by your answer.

I really don't see him running in 2028. I don't think his health/Republican money would both line up and support that
