How one guy can screw up the world

 I mean, we tried. The Constitution divides power into three branches of government so there can be no concentration of power and everybody has a check on their actions.  But now one party under the cultish sway of one man in charge of our Executive Branch is also in charge of the other two branches.  The check and balance system has been turned into accept and promote.  A convicted felon has crowned the richest man on earth Lord of the Bureaucracies, giving him unlimited authority and access to any and all federal government offices.  This is not how things are supposed to work.

But let's not just tamper with the United States government, says the felon.  China might take over Panama, so we need that back.  Greenland has a lot of resources, so we'll have to take that.  Canada shares the longest border with us, so let's make that the 51st state.  Gaza was pummeled into dust by an ally of ours, so we need to take that to straighten it out.  

And rather than being friendly to the world, we're going to punish every country that trades with us by slapping tariffs on their products.  Any international body designed to keep peace and tranquility on the world stage is now an enemy.

Where will this take us and the world?  From now on, the United States will be seen as unreliable, belligerent, crude, and selfish.  Kind of like our current president.  And we voted him in.
