    The biggest joke about Trump headlines is that Americans are still talking about him as if he’s still a viable politician.

    Trump isn’t the joke - the world isn’t laughing at Trump.

    The American political system is - the world is laughing at America as a whole.

      Actually, no. We’re not laughing. We’re horrified. It would be funny if this wasn’t the most powerful country on earth about to once again give command of the most powerful military on earth to a certified moron and clinical psychopath. If this was happening in Liechtenstein or Andorra, it would be funny.

        The US also has a tendency of exporting its nonsense to the rest of the world. So it’s not like we’re safe out here watching the clown show.

        See Myanmar justifying its 2021 coup d’état by “election fraud” (wonder where they got that idea) and Bolsonaro’s fanbase doing a more violent copycat version of Jan 6 in Brasil as examples.

      Trump is a viable politician. He’s winning the Republican primary by a wide margin and he’s up a few points on Biden in the general. He could win, that’s the definition of viable.
