Speaking as an Australian I wouldn’t call the US a ‘scourge’ to the world. I’d reserve that for Putin’s russia who has actively and maliciously interfered with many other countries and deliberately caused hundreds perhaps thousands of civilian deaths through out and out terrorism by its armed serviceman.
What Trump has done is lowered the US from a widely respected super-power who was seen as generally a force for good in the world, to being now seen as a pretty stupid rogue elephant to be managed and worked around. The US pre Trump could perhaps be called the leader of the free world. It will never be called that again. For starters no one wants to follow it. The fact that Trump was actually elected twice means that it will never be trusted again as a long term reliable ally, as long as the GOP is seen as having a realistic chance of gaining power.
Trump has been a disaster and while he hasn’t brought the USA down to massive depths like Putin has with russia (the small r is a mark of my respect) in terms of the drop given where it was before he has to be ranked as one of the all-time most terrible and destructive leaders of a nation. He’s unquestionably the worst US President ever. The second worst doesn’t come even close.
Maybe there’s hope for the US on the world stage. This was a doomscrolling true read. The only words I’d take issue with are "If you want to see what Trump would like to do at home, you have only to look to the misery he has unleashed in Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, and Africa…”
He’s already done that and much more inside this country.
MA, I was thinking the EXACT same thing you did. The doddering lunatic has a domestic record that mimics his international one: he flaunt norms, blatantly breaks the law, commits war crimes, terrorizes the people and basically gives the middle finger to the entire world. When, oh when will this long, dark journey into madness end?
Trump is a poster child for the Dark Triad: Narcissism, Psychopathy, and Machiavellianism.
I remind myself often that such people are so mentally ill that there is no changing them. They are remorseless. Further, congress now attracts such people. Such a difference from so many of the Founding Fathers. (I admit they had shortcomings, but they had a sense of duty and honor).
Reached an agreement? Not believing it until heard directly from Iran because the US administration is not trustworthy. Even the preliminary message delivered has loopholes such as still no final solution to nuclear agreement. Can’t trust the people we’re supposed to be looking up to and supposed to be representing us -the people. Pathetic!
While all of this is disgusting, the real tell is all of them at the ufc fight…..watching half naked sweaty men, trump touching them…..these people are so closeted that they have to make up for it with the cruelty around the world and not home rather than admit being gay or bi. And let’s not forget, the pig is rumored to have raped little boys.

pass for Jan 6th. 🤬 “Do as I say… not as I did”.
They are all slugs. 😖

The UFC production, although I didn’t watch it, is the perfect manifestation of what Trump and MAGA have become in a nutshell.
Yes, Julia. They are all hopped up on testosterone, knuckle-dragging neanderthals.
