5. And this trend will continue AFTER Trump leaves the Oval Office

Whether escorted out by strong young men wearing clean white coats, feet-first on a stretcher, or under his own power. Europeans and other shopping for first-rate weaponry will look warily at the US and ask themselves, “what if the Americans elect another President just like Donald John? Are we willing to gamble our countries’ safety on such a risk?”

I think they’d have reason. Very good reasons. Considering the multi-ring Republican clown shows in 2016 and the antics of Donald John’s enablers and successors, they have very little reason to trust the wisdom of the American electorate or the governance of the Republican Party.
