This is a reminder that this guy has very large chances to go back in the office and be president of the United States once again. We are so fucked and I am saying this as someone who is not American.
Same here. I am a US citizen.
I even have people in my family that voted for this guy and may again.
The options we have are limited. Biden who is really too old. Trump who is too old not qualified and self serving. Nikki Haley who probably cannot get nominated.
Edit: Most people want Biden and Trump to not be running but we will probably be stuck choosing between these two. In the primaries I will not vote for either. In the general election I will never vote for Trump.
If Biden got re-elected, and then became incapacitated to fulfill his duties, wouldn’t that make the vice-president take his place?
I mean, Kamala Harris doesn’t seem that bad of a choice for president, and neither does Nikki Haley if Biden decided to run with her for the presidentials.
Harris would be fine.
Nikki Haley would be fine but she is in the other party and will never be Biden’s running mate. Interesting idea though. She probably will not be Trump’s running mate either.
I would rather see a contest between Harris and Haley. Fine with either. Both reasonable people.
…Haley supports a nationwide abortion ban and can’t remember what the civil war was about. Reasonable‽
I feel like when he was in office before, I recall him wanting to pull out of NATO then.
I hope we have legislatively done everything we can to ensure whoever the president is, is not able to unilaterally pull out of alliances, and membership in the UN, and WHO, without first getting congressional approval as well, and any such action would be null, and void without such approval.
We were a joke on the world stage when Trump was in office, and lost the trust of much of our allies. We are finally taken seriously on the world stage again, and not laughed at for our president, but we have not fully regained that trust; it is there now, but the world now see’s weather they can trust us at any given moment is depending on elections every 4 years at minimum, and our current congress is even swayed by the whims of a former president that isn’t even in office.
The trust, standing, and soft power the USA lost from Trump’s time in office, may never return to what it once was.
Congressional approval is necessary for entering treaties, not for leaving them. Congress tries to change that. Hopefully in time
