Well, I'm just an onlooker, so I don't have any influence on U.S. politics. I'm just constantly astonished that the U.S. people would vote for such a charlatan. Twice.

The problem is you’re getting all your information from the internet (I’ll bet social media?).

The impact of that is on display in this very thread. Random unproven accusations, conspiracy theories and repetition of “facts” that have been disproven long ago.

If your goal is to educate yourself about the US leadership, or really any subject, you’re not going to do it by what you see on social media.

Social media and tech companies are effectively helping external actors (and malicious internal actors) to break western democracy.
