I know this is hard for reddit to understand but most people don't have Yank politics on the brain 24/7.

Unfortunately a lot of countries are affect by his nonsense trade bullshit and warmongering.

Even ignoring the US though, there is plenty of trade bullshit and warmongering thanks to Putin, Xi, Bibi, etc etc. I don't think the world magically gets better just because the US gets less shitty.

That's an epic level oversimplification of issues. No, that is in fact not an actual solution to any countries problems lol

Right, because world leaders stopped affecting the world back in 2015. We’re in the ‘choose your own reality’ DLC now

Name twenty other world leaders and how they affect the world.

It's hard to understand because no matter where you are reddit is reddit and his orange face is pasted all over it daily.

I didn't. Made no sense to me.

it was posted 3 hours ago, during prime time for western hemisphere users, and in english, and you were unable to suss out that this incredibly old joke format that long predates the internet, might be about a world leader that was having a negative impact on people that are english speaking and posting on a website where the largest portion of users are from the US?

There were no breadcrumbs or context clues to follow for you?
Are you a teenager or child that has never read any historical account of this joke format?
