    People need to understand that USA is a superpower. And most importantly, USA owns the western world. Most trade happens in dollars. Without USA the western world will collapse. USA has lot of military power in the world. If USA leaves NATO then NATO will become powerless. That’s why nobody wants to confront trump or any other USA president. The western world wants to be in the good side of USA.

      That is the explanation for the rest of the world. But the question implied by the post is why US-Americans don’t do anything to stop their leader as the Germans did not do anything to stop their leader.

        We have done many things, thousands of things.

        Unfortunately, we are well trained to use legal options, like voting or attending protests or calling our congressional rep.

        These haven’t worked, and they won’t work.

        The saddest part is people thinking “trump” is the problem, they’ve put the cart before the horse. If he dies, there will be lots of celebration, but still no solution to our problem(s).

          its the gop that is, trump is just the lightning rod, and provide cover for the gop and the billionaire donors, which is why the epstein file is so dangerous to them,. occupy wallstreet pretty much show how ineffective it was, if they know you arnt going to riot/violence, they were able to balk at it, pretty much all the recent protest were like this, only ever reinforces D voters
