The good news is that most people don't care what the president says, so as long as Trump doesn't start WW3 or a civil war, we should be alright. If not, well, at least we had a good run.

True, but I don't want him to sell my neighboring states to Daddy Putin

What, you don't believe he's mastered The Art of the Deal?

Honestly, the US should stick to either funding or not funding other countries' defensive wars, we really shouldn't be sitting at the table unless both sides request it.

My impression as someone from Europe is that people wouldn't even care if Trump started any war, as long as it isn't named "Civil War" or "WW3"

Fair. A civil war an WW3 impacts us directly, any other war would just run up our national debt and therefore isn't an issue. Bombing brown people is fine, we draw the line at shortages at the store (that's why we to war against Covid, after all).
