It's not about Trump (the dude may not even live much longer, he looks awful).

It's about all the people who support his values and way of thinking and use him as a distraction while they erode democratic rights and processes. America is undergoing a tremendous divide which may lead to the federation coming apart and individual states breaking away. That's what's worrying the rest of us, not the POTUS making a fool of himself on TV.

God I wish, US's balkanization would be such a blessing to the entire world.

That sounds like an overall good thing though? Especially for the rest of the world.

Does it? I'm not looking forward to whichever side decides they want part of Canada.
