When Trump was elected, many countries thought it was a weird aberration that would be corrected at the next election. It hasn’t been.
Whatever the final result, America has not repudiated Trump decisively after seeing him in office for four years. Half of America has voted again for lies, delusions, inequality, and hatred. Half of America still wants to be ruled by a sociopathic strongman and would-be dictator, after having every opportunity to see him for what he is.
America is still a huge economic and military power, but it’s now decisively in decline.
