    Starting to call orange pedo’s bluffs would be nice however other governments aren’t unfortunately the only players in this game. There are quite influential actors (i e tech billionaires) that are probably quite happy with Trump giving them the green light to do whatever the fuck they want.

    Tanking his investments with a unified response would be nice too but they couldn’t even do it for Putin for which the aesthetics would be much cleaner, so I don’t have a grain of hope they will do it when Trump is in power. Maybe only after he leaves office, but even then not sure they would want to “damage the reputation of an ex-president” (as if he has any).
