    First of all “US” is not “global”. Your rule of law is collapsing. People gravitate to countries with more stable systems like Canada.

    2nd if Trump was a sole problem US have, he would be stopped by know. Until proven otherwise, your systems are demonstrably unable to stop a crude, predatory con-man from publicly abusing every institution you have. He started a war without congress claiming the bombing was a police operation, and he is executing protestors on your street with his masked goons. Don’t you have rules against that? Why they were not used yet?

    No one think you have a Rule of Law country at this moment. No one believes your rules can be used to stop dictator at your office. Prove us wrong.

    This weeknes was not crated by trump. It was revelad by him. Once the fasade shattered, there is no fixing it with changing president alone. There are years of fundamental work ahead of you, and removing Trump is just a bare-minimum first step.

    Citizens of the Republic! Impeach Trump. Declare him unfit. Rise up, rebel and overthrow him as, 250 years ago, George III was overthrown. Do whatever you must to peacefully rid the world of this gaudy, gormless usurper and dethrone this would-be king – but do it fast. Spike his guns. Shut him down. Lock him up. Exorcise the monster.
