    As someone from Europe: Almost all of that should have happened after the January 6 insurrection 5 years ago.

    He’d be sitting in prison in most if not all free and democratic countries.

      He should have been in jail long before that, impeached with the help of his party and barred from ever serving as President again. A reminder that Trump is not the sole problem, and is more of a symptom of a bigger issue that has been allowed to grow for decades.

      He should’ve been imprisoned when he refused to return all the classified documents they found at Mar-a-Lago. That should’ve been the end of it right then and there. There are people in cells at Leavenworth for much lesser security violations.

      In those countries, he wouldn’t be able to do what he’s done with our Congress. Every day, he commits impeachable acts, but the only political body that could do anything about it is compromised.

        in other countries, they dont have a significant amount of right wing politicians in the government, US is considered the most right wing country in the west. why do you think so many foreign conservatives flock to the US to immigrate.
