Let's see if Trump can even make it to July before we start sweating too hard.
And a felon is the least offensive thing he is.
Well duh. The Saudis want TFG reelected cause it benefits them.

I’ve said this before, but the world's dictators doing what they can to hurt Biden isn’t about favoring Trump for better deals. They’ll do just fine regardless of who is President. It’s about causing more chaos and destabilizing the US internally and making the US a lesser power and less reliable ally on the world stage. Whether you are a Trump supporter or not, if he gets a second term it will cause chaos both inside and outside the US.
It amazes me that people who support Trump and aren’t lunatics don’t find it alarming that he speaks highly of our enemies, blasts our allies, and think Putin or Kim Jong Un give a f’ about Trump. Truly a useful idiot.
Of course, since it’s a cult, not only do the more fervent supporters not see anything wrong with it, but they’ve warmed up to the murderous dictator stooges, to the point right-wing news asks “What’s so bad about Putin” as the arsehole is literally on a murder spree.
It’s also pure arrogance that these entitled rednecks think it’s only going to be black, brown or LGTBQ people on the chopping block if the mental midget dictator gets his wish.
You have to take into account what Niccolo Macchiavelli wrote, all those years ago. Under the surace, every nation is ultimately a democacy. The leader of a monarchy or dictatorship is still bound to maintain tolerable social order, because there hs always a threshold beyond which any type of regime will collapse. When the people feel like they have naught to lose. the government will be in desperate peril if it cannot or refuses to address the problems. You may think Cuba is a terrible place, but the angriest Cubans seem to be a fairly impotent minority.
I forgot the most important part. Dictators can go to their population and point to the US as a failure of democracy for putting this moron back in power who has also lost every single legal battle that has gone to court including trying to prove any kind of massive voter fraud.

At minimum the government should give off at least the illusion of stability. The leader shouldn’t be running around yelling “We’re fucked! You’re fucked! Everything is fucked!” I always get a chuckle when MAGA Republicans say the outside world is laughing at or looking down at us while the person saying it is part of the reason why.
