You guys probably haven't got the full awfulness of what is happening in Europe, but Europe is very literally outraged by the utter lies that Trump is spouting that appear to come straight out of Putin's mouth.
He's been captured and Europe is in turmoil - Germany literally doesn't know what to do, decades of being allies torn up by a traitorous, pig-ignorant clown. Musk interfering with their elections by stirring up the far right etc.
It's truly obnoxious and it's going to end badly.

Re: R.I.P. Democracy?? Nonsense!
Your country voted with Russia, Belarus and North Korea against Ukraine in the UN General Assembly today. Happy with that?

Clarkson is/was a presenter of Top Gear - wildly successful for a quite a few years.
He's got a few right wing views of his own. More an outspoken comedian than anyone you'd look to learning anything about the political systems of the world about. But he's spot on there.

Another Trump dump today. Every time the orange baby says "Tariffs" down it goes again. Apparently he's looking at the long term which for him is probably next Wednesday.

Re: Is there maybe hope?
A big problem with the orange bumpkin's personality disorder is that this on/off, off/on stuff disrupts business - they can't plan or invest because they've no clue what the idiot might do next.
The economic term "business confidence" is important, without that economies go wrong quickly.

Massive security breach in the Whitehouse, war plans discussed using an internet app and copied in to a journalist. No problem, nothing to see here, move on, lets buy Greenland.
Just a "glitch" apparently. Next.

I wonder if your legislature can cope with all this. It's pretty much all that might stand in the way of a charge towards autocracy and chaos.
It always struck me a a bizarre and terrible weakness of the US constitution that judges are appointed by politicians.

There was a bit of a hope here in Europe that most of the anti-Europe stuff coming out of the Whitehouse was negotiation puff, but after the leaked texts it's now clear that we are literally hated by the new administration. So I guess we know where we stand.
This is doing the USA a lot of damage internationally. Not that Trump et al care about that, they appear to have imperialist ambitions of their own.
