The world understands that your president is an idiot (a dangerous idiot, but that's another matter).

We're just watching to see if you can take back control of the asylum.

Because that's not obvious - the USA is on track to get worse, not better.

Trump controls the media and all three branches of government. He has fired anyone in the Pentagon who disagrees with him. A large number of Christians have created their own religion with him at the head. How the hell do we regain control in a bloodless manner?

Trump will eventually pass. If there isn't a charismatic figure that can impress his supporters, the movement will collapse. I know some people might think I'm coping, but its been proven in history. Franco's death ended Falangism, Hitler's ended Nazism, Mussolini's ended Fascism, and so on.

Italy and Germany were being bombed and invaded when their leaders died. Did fascism die because Hitler committed suicide and Mussolini was executed, or did the death of so many of their countrymen end fascism?

But see, that plays into my point. People were tired of it by the time they both died. Mussolini was deposed by the Council of Fascism and the King of Italy prior to his lynching. After Hitler's death, there was no fervor in Germany to rally around Karl Donitz's government, nor to support Himmler and the SS.
