I'm not American, but I remember thinking that clearly electing trump was a mistake but maybe it won't be as bad as we fear. And at first that seemed not too far off. The Muslim ban got watered down, the wall didn't really go anywhere. But no it ended up being much much worse.

    I’m an American and I thought the same thing at first; when he was elected, I knew he’d be the worst president ever, but I figured that there were checks and balances on presidential power and he’d at least be restricted with what he can do. I didn’t realize that those checks and balances didn’t actually do anything if the president just didn’t care. When he was elected again in 2024, I knew it was going to be terrible because they stacked the Supreme Court and had a majority in the house and senate and the Republican Party is filled with sycophants.
