Can the industrialized/civilized countries rein in Trump?

I doubt it. My personal opinion is that he'll threaten to sue them, nuke them, or just ignore them. Many of the leaders of these countries have no doubt grasped that they are dealing with an unstable, extremely ignorant and dangerous man.

But that's my opinion. What's yours?

It's the only hope I have in regard to him.

Give me an idea of how that will be accomplished when a wacko Alt-Reich President has a Republican Congress and soon the SCOTUS on his side. I look forward to information that will relieve my concerns.

The GOP will follow him into whatever Hell he comes up with, as long as they can keep power.

The Democrats hold none of the levers of power.

And if you foresee some kind of "uprising" of the "civilized" American people, we just saw the "uprising" of far too many of them on election day.

First of all, many Republicans were against Trump from day one, and are already talking about voting against either all or parts of his agenda.

Second, you are deliberately choosing the minority of Americans to paint the MAJORITY (we who voted

AGAINST Trump) as "uncivilized"...Bad faith and bad math.
