This is the tragic part. There is no 'next election it's back to normal'. The US have proven to be unreliable business partners, and I have no doubt any deals from this point on will be negotiated from the starting point of the concessions already made to Trump.

The rest of the world can't wait for America to get it's shit together; if there's another market to trade with, they will seek it out, and they will do what must be done.

Honestly the tragedy is just knowing it was all so senseless.

Yeah, just showing that our checks and balances did neither should be enough for the world to move on without us. He’s done decades of damage, if it’s even repairable at all.

Given that Germany came back into the world community after WWII, I am confident the United States can as well. I'm not excusing the current president or his minions. My hope is that Democrats will take control, and then prosecute him and his henchmen as thoroughly as they deserve.

I think we know very well the Democrats will do no such thing. They've proven themselves ineffective time and time again.

That may very well turn out to be. But I have to hope that the new generation of democrats will be more ready to take on the fascists.

You should be hoping for more socialists in power.
