I think realistically right now everyone is putting brakes on till November elections. If Trump doesn't go full hitler till election date and declares an empire, he's likely done in Nov.

What's sad is - people erroneously think whether trump is in office or Biden - that somehow affects the trustworthiness of the private owned American clouds.

    Oh no, no... Trust in America is gone forever, no matter who wins. Because American people have demonstrated (twice) that they can choose someone like Trump as a president. The world won't be waiting anxiously for the next Trump. We'll move on.

    What is unique to American people? I easily foresee the next Trump from any country.

    Especially if they have the same bad voting system of "pick the lesser evil". Do that enough times and you can get worse than Trump.

    Even if the electios are free in fair, I don't think he'd be done in November.

    The only way he's "done" is if GOP loses every single last senate seat up for grabs. Every single one in Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Kansas, Oklahoma, South Dakota, West Virginia, Florida, Texas, etc.

    Hell, most analysts think that Democrats don't have a realistic chance of even getting a simple senate majority, let alone a veto-proof one or even a filibuster proof one.

    If they don't then they cannot remove anyone from office, they cannot override vetos. Yes, they can decline to pass bills, but given their stance of 'executive branch has supreme power', they'll just do illegal executive orders and ignore the courts unless the supreme court agrees with them. Trump is already declared immune from any and all crimes except by the Senate and has the ability to pardon any and all federal cases, and that's assuming his own enforcement agencies even bother trying to punish anyone...
