Thoughts on the US election? What does this mean for the rest of the world?

for the rest of the world not much will change - believe it or not, there is not much difference between Bush foreign policy in the 2000s, Obama foreign policy in the 2010s, and Biden in the 2020s: America backs murderous regimes who play ball and 'liberates' countries who are disobedient, the only way Trump might be different is that he doesn't bother sugarcoating what we do in those countries

I still can't understand how anyone in their right mind would vote for Trump, let alone 50% of the population. But somehow, it seems only Americans are stupid enough to do such a thing; the rest of the world just laughs at us. I suspect this election comes down to intelligent people versus morons...all the intelligent people I know are bright enough not to even consider voting for Trump.

Rigged. Increased poverty. We'll probably see more right-wing leaders in other countries in the coming years, Brazil included. Russia could benefit.
