That’s optimistic. In terms of physical changes, it will take a couple years; in terms of law and policy changes, it will take decades if it can ever be undone.
But in terms of global standing, reputation, trust, credit, etc? That shit is never coming back. Only a fucking moron would agree to any strong partnership with the US knowing that every 4 years there’s a significant chance that their leader could be a demented, spoiled brat who will tear everything apart and nobody will stop him from doing the most batshit insane cruelties imaginable. Once is a fluke; we elected this dumbass traitor twice, and we did nothing about his atrocities after the first go.
This stupid asshole wrecked everything, and we still haven’t truly felt even a small fraction of the damage yet.
I’m not a gambling man, but if I were to get into these absurd gambling apps, I’d put some money on him dying this term in his sleep on live television during daylight hours. That has to be so specific that it has a good payout.
If he dies in private, I guarantee they will do a Weekend at Bernie’s for as long as they can. The first damning clue will be seeing Melania more and she’ll actually be smiling.
