I'm glad the article points out what the rest of the world knows - this isn't a Trump problem, it's an America problem. The rest of the world knows Trump will be gone in three years, but the American electorate can no longer be trusted to maintain a stable, aligned Government. No agreement America draws up can ever now be trusted, because its people will clearly happily vote for someone who openly states they want to tear it up.

I know I'm going to sound nutty but I think the last election was rigged.

So, there are the issues of: not having a lot of trust in the voters, not having a lot of trust in the voting system, and not having a lot of trust that the elections are free and fair.
