As an outsider (I live in Belgium) it feels very weird and dystopian to see everything happening in American politics with Trump and Musk.
On one side, it’s very interesting and almost entertaining; on the other side, it’s scary. I can’t imagine what it must be like to live in the USA.
Americans, how do you cope? What’s your take on the situation?
Well a lot of it is just rage bait. Our journalists aren’t very honest.
For example, USAID was giving money to ridiculous things, like a musical in Ireland. There’s no reason for it. You start digging into it, we were paying billions of dollars to even more nonsense.
Yet people are defending it because some people are now getting fired over it.
It’s simply just stupid tribal fighting
