Watching the news lately, one gets the sense that world leaders and economists everywhere are staring at the unhinged figure leading the United States, quietly asking themselves how they’re supposed to manage four more years of this madness.

It won't last 4 years. Presidents are not guaranteed 4 years. Americans know what they have to do. Orange skidmark will encourage his own destruction. As the deviant broken man-child always has.
What ? The world knew Trump2 was very possible. They made plans and strategies. America’s ego and greed is it’s downfall. It’s not just MAGA, its also do nothing Democrats. You don’t get it, no country wants to be like America. America has money and that gives it power. USA has always been Trump
Cut the US out as much as possible. Sell treasury bonds, sanction us, boycott us, all of it. His supporters need to experience real pain. Not just temporary inconvenience that they think is pain.
One man is being allowed to run roughshod over the government, economy, and major institutions.
And other world leaders are going “ could we get away with that “,?
“Four more years!” You know that the only way he will leave is in a box. He has the judiciary, the legislature and the presidency. The things he’s doing require him to stay in office to avoid prosecution. He will never willingly step down. Laws and the US Constitution are irrelevant now.
Honestly surprised they haven't come for him yet.
Promise me that trump isn't going to run for a 3rd term (tampered voting machines) and then install his kids when he's gone. ....please.
I’m just wondering what our billion black op actually do?
Everyday we are wondering the same here in the divided states of America.
Not only the leaders...
my hope is that the cheeto in chief is somehow "indesposed" and once things are broken beyond repair, we get to build systems back that work well for all people, not just good for some and great for a very few. we don't want the old back we want new and better. dream bigger.
By building stronger relationships between them and not America. They know this and it's happening, it's why America is telling Europe they'd better buy US military goods and Europe is instead investing in their own military/industrial complex.
Precisely what each and every one of us is wondering too.
We're all asking that question.
They will do what they have to do but the relationship with America has changed forever. They may negotiate a trade deal with trump. They will still seek to expand trade outside of the US. As a consumer all I can guarantee I will not buy American product.
Believe me, the sane Americans are wondering the exact same thing!
So are most American citizens.
Sadly, most US citizens either voted for him or didn’t care who won and didn’t turn up to vote. The truth is that Trump is what the US wanted. And that’s a big part of why the US needs to be cut out of international politics. Sorry, but you guys are a basket case and we can never trust you again.
I hear you, and can’t defend the US. I told my husband that at least by the next election (if there is one), a lot more boomers will be dead so that should work for us.
We can only hope. Best of luck to you, and hoping you won’t need it.
Oh I will need it. It is a shxtshow here right now and many of us are terrified and angry. But thank you. Just know that many of us feel as betrayed as you all do.
We need a blue Senate and house so we can impeach him
If they feel like that, how do they think we feel?
Without us. Just make trade and deals excluding the USA. The US is a large country with a lot of resources, but it doesn’t have EVERYTHING we need to survive and thrive. Any successful country is Global, no way around it today. Look at North Korea!
I hope there are people still investigating the election. I just can not believe it was not interfered with.
We the people are also asking this question.
i think everyone that's paying attention is asking the same thing. we won't make it even this year, let alone 4. him and his regime need to go
Same thing we're all wondering.
Same
They will not have to. Though admit pretty hairy as is.
Manage it by isolating the US. Sorry American friends.
I'd suggest they use their imaginations... and work together
They’re not!
I’m wondering the same!
Impeach them all!
That seems a bit short-sighted. It's obvious he won't let the constitution get in the way of trying to push past 2028
We will be at war before year two
I'm hoping the midterms can slow this train wreck down.
They won't. The world will burn. It will take a global war for the crisis to come to an end.
Two more years .. maybe. There has to be a push for sane thinking ppl to take majority control of the House & > 2/3 of the Senate. A difficult, but not impossible task when rising costs & evaporated savings makes all US feel the pains of hunger &/or lose the roof over our heads.
Managing psychopathic madness on this scale is only do-able if it’s contained. Incarcerated. As quickly as possible.
And a lot of other people are asking the same thing!
When is everybody going to stop acting as if this business as usual? The only way Krasnov is leaving that White House is in a body bag. When you all accept that maybe that will mobilize you. If we don’t stop this now there isn’t going to be a “four years”.
Now's the time to STRIKE! To hit Criminal Enterprise 47 where it hurts!
I know all of US are...
Thomas Pychons novel, Gravitys Rainbow, was a great book not a manual. Yet we are living with nazis, a rocket man, clearly speed & now an economic reset by a fool in the U.S. government. So which moron thought it was a template ?
Manage is not possible. Fight back is the only answer
We can't. We got to fight for America. He's not our President.
Though I am critical of the British electoral system, they were able to remove Liz Truss after her attempted assault on their economy, though in a couple of weeks she did enormous damage. For now it looks like four years of Trump madness, all intelligent life form has abandoned the GOP.
They think it's only four more years? How cute.
In the US we measure by minutes! 😳
I'm going with my 80 something old neighbors prediction from 2022 trump will win, fail fast,, and it wont matter because they have people lined up to replace him already waiting to see what happens gl to everyone that purchased tickets. 🤠 ❤️🤍💙 🏇🏇🏇🏇 🐒
Massive stroke.
I am wonder how we will manage 4 more years
Someone’s got to do something and take one for the team.
someone with a terminal diagnosis, guts and a scope?
This sounds like the plot in Dying For Sex.
Some are saying that out loud.
Ditto. 4 years is too long. To much harm will be done
Their assumption that they have to deal with him for four more years is their biggest problem.
Same leaders....Same!
4?
They need to be asking themselves how are we going to STOP this insanity so we don't have to "manage" it for 4 more years!!!
And in most cases, the second question they ask themselves is "how can I get out of this unscathed?". E.g. the Dems in Senate in Congress who are the first being able to end this madness.
How?
By arresting Trump? The Senate and Congress Dems are as well connected as their Rep counterparts, they know whom to contact, they have access to security detail or can afford to task a private company...and even the laws are on their side. And I'm pretty sure that they are aware of their powers.
Yes! wtf
He must be removed. They are welcome to do that
like the dictator will leave in 4 years.
This isn't being said enough. They're illegally disassembling US institutions. On January 6th they showed a willingness (incompetent though the attempt was) to overthrow a free election. Theyve brought guys like Musk in now. It's not hard to imagine a more artful second attempt now.
i get the urge to re-watch Alex Garland's recent film.
Hopefully he will choke on a cheeseburger or strokes out.
Well, maybe they’ll do something about it
Same.
I don’t think he will last a full term tbh. I’m thinking if the midterms are a bloodbath for the gop he resigns and has Vance pardon him. He won’t want to be impeached a 3rd time and he knows that’s what’s coming if gop loses badly in ‘26
As we all are.
“4 more years” is very optimistic.
I’m asking myself the same question.
We are lucky IF it’s only 4 years!!
There won’t be four years of this, if we can help it.
IMPEACH! IMPEACH! IMPEACH!!!!!
I feel the same way.
None of us should have to-there’s got to be a remedy-25th amendment; impeachment-he’s got to go-it can’t be that congress shrugs their shoulders and say “He was duly elected” use your fucking power to rein him in!
They’re leaving us behind now.
Sane Americans are asking themselves too. This shit is horrendous.
It’s not 4 more years this is it now. Use this as an example of the USA …Budget for the USA of the future.
Naked Orange Mad King.
That’s exactly what everyone had been thinking outside of Russia, Saudi and China. None of this, and what will come, was necessary, America 😡
Don’t have to make it 4 years, just need to make it to mid-terms.
It will help, but he can still do a lot of foreign policy damage even with small minorities in Congress.
If we can get the house and senate, we can impeach all the motherfuckers Jail time for everyone
You need 67 Senators to convict. There aren't mathematically enough seats open to get there realistically.
I think that in many countries there are a lot of private conversations being held in private rooms discussing possible scenarios and contingency plans. A former trusted ally has turned enemy almost overnight. They didn’t expect this.
Yes, but after the (amateurish) January 6th coup attempt anyone with intelligence who was in any doubt knew that the Republican party had been overtaken by fascists. The simple fact that they had no respect for the democratic process made that clear.
Robert Paxton himself wasn’t ready to call Trump a fascist until 2021. He is basically the country’s leading historical expert on fascism. People should have listened to him.
The indulgence for this ideology amongst US supposed 'conservatives' is truly depressing.
A number of them started out with authoritarian tendencies and only needed the push of a highly popular, intelligent, effective, world-respected Democrat President to push them to extremes.
We need to be more effective at calling a spade a spade, do to speak. Trump isn't a Conservative, do why is he allowed to run on a conservative platform. If he was forced to run on a fascist platform people would have been far less comfortable voting for him.
We've also allowed political parties to 'rebrand' their political stance for convenience, further muddying the public's perception of who stands for what and creating the 'they're all the same so I don't vote' syndrome.
I think a lot of conservatives have unconscious fascist sympathies in a similar way to a lot of socialists have communist sympathies. The problem is that, in the US in particular, we've allowed multiple ideologies to be conflated conflated under the same roof.
There’s gotta be a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy that knows this guy 👇🏿 (Sssh..the Jackal)
There’s so much appeal to move to another country right now… but there are issues literally everywhere & much of it can be directly blamed on the US! 😥
Hoping for international intervention….
China will help them manage. America's losses will largely be China's gains.
Well since no one wants to go to prison for, well you know, everyone seems to be trying to figure out why Rs won’t hold his feet to the law & Constitutional fire. There’s a whole lot of pearl clutching at the moment. What happened to those 2nd amendment radicals? They cowards too?
How if it possible that a 79 year old, 6 x bankrupted businessman can, on a whim, wipe out more wealth in one day than anyone else in history??
And who's going to do it...
He needs to be removed now, not four years from now.
Jan 7, 2021 would have been a good time but Mitch McConnell’s balls hadn’t dropped yet.
As are we
Not only 4 years. As one economist said, “how do we trust the voters of Wisconsin every 4 years?” It could happen again.
If he stays 4 years then he'll be staying 4 more years.
As we all are. 🙈
He’s already stated that he’s staying for more than four years.
Photo from recent Oval Office meeting.
He won’t fulfill the term.
And US citizens!
Turn your back on the USA. What other alternative is there ? America has clearly lost its way. Why on Earth would anyone bother following them?
We can’t survive 4 yrs or even 1.
It must not happen. The cost will be exponential.
Just like the rest of us.
Read these books by Dr. Bandy X. Lee: The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump and her follow up book: The More Dangerous Case of Donald Trump. Psychiatrists discuss his severe mental illness. He is unhinged and can’t function in the real world. What Trump is doing is madness. Please tell people!
Surely people can see that without having to tell them?
I blame the movies. They make it look easy to take out a super villain with a trick fountain pen and a super car. I'M WAITING.
I’m not exactly on the lookout for anyone to get taken out, but I’ve seen those movies too where a fountain pen swoops in and saves the day like it’s the next action hero! No billing in the credits either! 🖊️💥
Fountain pens don't take out supervillains. People take out supervillains. With fountain pens. And super cars. And sometimes smooth talking genitalia.
Oh man, reality sets back in!
I reposted this comment on my timeline without context just to fuck with my friends.
On the contrary, Europe's political leaders have been galvanised to organise a joint military and economic future without the Trump regime.
The world has always dealt with an abusive United States.
Yeah, but not like this. Abusive, but not psycho
The US couldn't have achieved it's current hegemony without co-operation with other nations though. Jockeying for position is normal, trying to overthrow the post war International order, destroy democratic institutions and economically subdugate the whole world isn't.
"Co-operation," you mean strong-arm them into submission, because that's what they did in Asia and the Americas. Europe is different, but they were also essentially in debt after abusive treaties. Also, there is no "international order," the U.S. always defies ICC and UN resolutions.
But the US, historically was also at the forefront of internstional democratisation and rule of law though. Theyve progressively deviated from that position in recent times though, which is extremely dangerous for everyone.
Yes, there's certainly been irrational leadership for a long time in the US. The attempt to contain communism in Asia through trying to kill them all and was fundamentally ill conceived and self defeating for instance.
World leaders aren’t the only ones asking themselves that question. I’m also wondering how I’m going to manage four more years of this madness!
… I take issue that they are “quietly” asking themselves…. I think they are all taking themselves off into a quiet corner and screaming.
We feel their pain
By standing their ground and developing healthier relationships that don't include the Manchurian Cantelope.
Americans feeling the same
Step one... Reforge the global trade network to minimise reliance on the USA
I’m thinking the majority of people across the world are hoping to see the following headline……
Smear him with dirt. Someone in the world knows something - release it.
Not just world leaders! The regular folks have been asking ourselves that since Nov 2024!
The country becomes smaller when we shit in our friends.
If his being unhinged wasn't going to actually HELP the wealthy class, he'd be long gone by now. They don't dispose of him because they don't have a huge problem with what he's doing.
I think the only way is to simply walk away from the USA. They wanted to be isolated, so let them. The rest of us have to forge new paths forward. No more deals (they don't abide by agreements anyway). Just cut them off. Let them be North Korea.
Thumbs up from 🇪🇺!
They & them = Trump.
So proud of all you Hands Off. great work
I don't think those of us who live here can take 4 years of this shit.
Never thought I'd call Anonymous "understated", but calling Trump "unhinged" is an understatement. The guy is a Malignant Narcissist who dismisses tariff chaos by golfing i.e., watching Rome burn while fiddling (see Nero). Trump's a MEGALOMANIAC who BELIEVES he's GOD'S CHOSEN ONE. HE. IS. INSANE.
My thought everyday.
As are we, the citizens.
These last 76 days feel like it's been 4 years!
You got that right. Even The Journal De Montréal has labeled Trump as a Red Tie wearing idiot. The article however is in French... www.journaldemontreal.com/2025/04/06/t...
Certainly the few non-Americans I keep in touch with are. As, naturally, are those of us who stand to lose absolutely everything under this regime.
same, all of us - except unhinged MAGA
Betcha Vlad isn't asking himself that. He probably thinks that if Cheeto keeps following his orders, the U.S. won't last out the year.
They need to plan. Trump will never give up his position of escaping persecution. There is literally nothing left for him but bankruptcy (7th time's a charm) and prison, or for his GOP abettors, or Musk. They'll make sure we won't have election for president in 4 years, 8 years, or ever again.
Next step, staring at the GOP Senators and Congressmen who have the power to make it stop.
The power, but neither the brains nor the scruples.
Yes, but they've already proven they are susceptible to pressure from trump - which means that with enough pressure from the public, business leaders, and wall street, they can be moved to action.
I hope you are right, although I wonder how high that threshold is? Kraznov seems to absolutely own many of them them, although we have seen some odd things lately, Rand Paul for instance. I guess there is some point reached where self interest becomes even more important.
It's bananas that things have gone so far unchecked, no doubt. But at some point Newton's Third Law kicks in - I think we are seeing that happen with the turnout today.
We need them to not blink. The United States is being run by a petulant decompensating man-baby - and needs to spend some time thinking about the consequence of its actions in the time out chair.
World leaders are moving on, making new partnerships and not looking back. America is not the envy of the world anymore
He's a global cancer. McConnell and the GOP had 2 opportunities during impeachments to make him benign. Supreme Court made him malignant
2 more years: take back Congress.
The fat orange slob felon traitor won't last that long
It’s not just them.. it’s people like me wondering how we end this bs BEFORE four years. We can’t take four more months of this damage to our way of life. This is not a perfect country, but it’s ours 😪🇺🇸
Most of the rest of the World just hit the 'unfollow' button on the United States 🤔
Or they blocked us
4 more years? Hell he done told us he ain't leaving. They didn't run to govern. HE RAN TO RULE.
Operation Overlord II, but in reverse?
A Cowardly Congress is allowing Trump to Crash the Economy. The president’s tariff war is also a constitutional crisis. www.thenation.com/article/econ...
Only 4?
No they are doing something worse for U.S. ! They are all getting together to cut U.S. out! 8 Billion people in the world! 7.7 figure out how trading with each other cutting out the other 300 million! You know who that is? U.S!
There are ways to shorten those 4 years.
More importantly, how tf hasn't his fast food diet caught up to him, yet?
Impeach and remove and send to Prison!
Not realizing yet that he has no intention of stepping down, ever?
He’s old as fuck & JD‘s waiting to take over as soon as felon34 finishes trashing the economy. It wont be long now.
wonder if they know what our country doesn't seem to, that he's taking orders from Putin?
Oh, we know. Have for some time, but we aren’t yet in any position to do much about it.
I think it's a reason the people are justified in ousting him from the W.H.
I suspect many countries are asking themselves how they can shorten that timeline. If only he would turn on Russia, Putin seems to have no reservations about cutting the strings off his puppets.
he’ll never turn on putin; it will be putin that will turn on him…that’s what’s driving this mess
My mom 🇨🇦, used to say that merkkkas pastime was ending presidents with prejudice. With all the meddling merikka has done to other countries leaders, now is the time to return the favour.
Putin has a lot more things to worry about between his failed war and his own countrymen revolting than trying to control Trump. He's powerless! I wouldn't worry about him.
I really didn’t need to be reminded how early we are into this corrupt and incompetent administration
IKR 😞
Yeah sorry.
I know that’s what I’m wondering.
Aren't we all? Aren't we all.
Appleton, Wi is fighting against fascism. Are you with us? #fiftyfiftyone #handsoff @maddow.msnbc.com @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social
Everyone is. Tbh. Leaders of homes and managers of household budgets.
I don't see him making it to the end of his term He is fading fast and looks lost.
Yeah, me too. I am nearly 69. I did not want to spend this part of my life fighting, stressing, worrying, struggling, thinking about the #TraitorTrump Oh well
Four if we're lucky. President-for-life if the dice fall the wrong way.
It’s the classic “unsustainable model.”
Well ... they can join the club. That's how we've been feeling since Nov 6, 2024.
I think to keep it to 4 years will require seal team 6
And asking “How did Americans let this happen? How did he win every single swing state?” Dear foreign intel agencies, do the world and #America a solid, probe election machine results Starlink data transfers. Leak the results of your findings
He didn't win every swing state legitimately. He said fElon helped him.
I’m surprised by the hackers tbh. We should have had the unredacted Epstein Files by now. Let alone this shtshow.
Make tyrants live in fear.
#EatYourKings
They are invited to dinner. They are the main course.
But…then there’s that very real chance of food poisoning.
I don’t think you understand what end of the fork they will be on
As we here are, too!
Professionally speaking, no one bought in for a retard…
He and his Administration MUST be removed!
Same, world. Same.
I ask myself that every day.
Quite possibly some are having feasibility talks with their equivalent of what Iain M. Banks's Culture novels called "Special Circumstances." Doubtless Skum would recognise that.
My guess is this admin will piss off the “wrong type of people”…unfortunately just like jfk did God rest his soul
I think when his ardent supporters figure out the grift it will get really ugly. They have been trained to violence in politics and they will be pissed! All of the attempts on his life so far have been angry republicans. The danger will come from his own.
Here’s the kicker- the rest of the world will manage by working around the USA…and IF this madness ends on 4 years, the US will find itself on the outside looking in. It’s become very clear the rest of the democratic world can work together successfully w/o the US.
They saw it coming. A lot of Americans somehow didn't.
I ask myself the same question.
Its like when you have a horrible roommate and you are looking at how you can end the lease early.
They could always do something to stop him…
Yes, they are beside themselves with wonder as the thief who stole the election with Elon plays golf and shits himself between holes.
The discussion is how to circumvent the US until he’s gone. Unfortunately, the US was instrumental in the pre-Donald world order so extracting them is challenging. Do you think his presidency will last 4 years?
Terminate his command.
With extreme prejudice. What a great movie!
This is spot on. The teeth gritting; the delicate dance.
Same
