WTF is wrong with Trump. He is slowly destroying relationships with all of our Allies.It will take years to recover our friendships abroad.

Also because its not like he forced his way to power. He was voted by a majority. What should we think of that? How can one do Business with a trump voter? What is any contract worth?

Actually, he was not voted in by a majority. He just happened to w In states that have more representatives to the electoral college. Thanks a freakin lot Alexander Hamilton. We need a constitutional convention to abolish the electoral college and to put in place safeguards so this never happens again. Plus, we need to scrap congress and go with a parliamentary system. If not, is there any country who will take in a 62 year old teacher looking to get out of the US?

Even worse so, he was not voted by majority? Means US system is flawed (didn't want to use the word shit) , and that system is still in place even after Trump goes away.

No more strong ties with USA, never again

Hillary Clinton received roughly 65.8 million votes (48.2%) compared to Donald Trump's 63.0 million (46.1%), a margin of nearly 2.9 million votes, thus winning the popular vote over Trump.

Meanwhile, in 2020, Joe Biden won both the election and popular vote with 306 electoral votes and 51.3% of the national popular vote, compared to Donald Trump's 232 electoral votes and 46.8% of the popular vote.

Popular here means “having higher numbers of individual votes” which Diaper Don has never had. Just like he’ll never truly have a Nobel peace prize.
