If you're speaking about the foreign perspective of the USA, I think it matters less because the executive powers are scarcely hindered despite the election results. He'd still free to abuse his powers and bomb whatever nation (or random boat) he feels like levelling. As for a descent into authoritarianism, the jury is still out on that one. It remains to be seen how well a more active Congress can hold him in check. We've perhaps been very fortunate that Stinky still appears to respect the decisions of the judicial branch. It could have been a lot worse.

I'm not expecting much of a change before 2028. They've all drunk from the orange koolaide and anybody who might have righted the ship is no longer in office.

Stinky says his deportation policy ‘might have been too tough’ for voters in the election Too tough for voters? Huh. List of deaths in ICE detention 30 deaths in ICE detention in 2026 alone. Yeah, I guess that's tough for "voters". 😕

With the Dems in control of the Senate, I believe they will be in control of the SCOTUS confirmation process. That means they could return the favor for Garland.

Stephen Miller replaces Susie Wiles as Trump’s White House chief of staff after GOP’s midterm defeat Well, doubling down on noxious behavior is trademark Stinky, so I guess we're in for two more years of rampant xenophobia.

Even worse, the immoral minority, thanks to Stinky. Ah, how the turn tables.

One of the first victims could be Hegseth. Republicans don't seem too happy with him, so an impeachment may even succeed. That means he'll probably be encouraged to resign before that happens. Pete Hegseth may take fall for Republicans’ midterm losses, despite Trump support I won't lose any sleep if that occurs.

It is nice to see some younger and more represensitive political faces make successful runs for Congress. The body is getting pretty old and stodgy, which may explain some of the inertia.

American democracy...

Overall, $7.4 billion has spent on this election. I almost think that people are getting used to stinky's nonsense election claims. His attempts to throw some of the votes have been summarily tossed out of court, and haven't received as much press coverage as before. Or maybe it's just my perception of events. In my state we vote mainly by post, and I dropped mine in the ballot box two weeks ago.

Man I thought he was going to live to 100. Sad. RIP

I'm speculating he'll opt for more of a support role, and just target convenient locations in closer proximity. Stinky will perform the heavy lifting, for what that's worth.

Gadi Eisenkot doesn't appear to support an all-out war on Iran, preferring economic pressure and targeted strikes against Iran's nuclear program. If he takes office, that may hinder Stinky's attacks on Iran. (Yay!)

Set the way back machine... It's old enough to be in a Fallout game.
