Never seen anything like the U.S. fury and panic

It's really been astonishing how in the last few days, people - mostly of the liberal Democratic party - are staggering with fury and panic over the latest from Trump. It reminds me of the awfulness of his first round, where every morning I would cringe to hear on the radio of a new outrage or scandal.

At present, Trump just nominated for Attorney General, the highest law enforcement office in the country, Matt Gaetz, who, among other crimes, has been under a cloud for sex-trafficking of minors. ("The investigation focused on his alleged involvement with a 17-year-old and whether he had paid for sex or paid for women to travel across state lines for sex, which would violate trafficking laws.")

I'm way past the cringe, this time round I feel like a calm observer who is fairly sure how things are going to pan out (really quite badly) and interested to see how all the millions who voted for him deal with it when it works out not so great for them, e.g. getting deported, their kids dying from measles, no Mexicans to clean their toilets, etc.

I'm also curious to see how the US deals with Trump's ongoing mental decline in full view of the entire world. Like, is he going to do a little dance at the G7 Summit next year and/or ramble on about that wonderful man Hannibal Lecter and sharks?

Yes, @RogueFemale, I think that many people really didn't think through the consequences - which is why I keep ranting about Trumper ignorance.

The funny thing is, Americans are complaining about food prices, and rightly so. But, first, as far as I know, a president can't normally do price-fixing. And, second, people are too stupid to realize that if all the immigrants disappear, food prices are going to skyrocket even more. I was just reading an article about how the dairy business is so dependent on immigrant labor, and certainly slaughterhouses are, too.

What I wonder about, regarding international meetings, is whether international leaders are going to cater to Trump or treat him with the condescending contempt he deserves.
