Let me blurt it out here, people: you are looking at your next president. And I am aware that, currently, by law, a non american can not be elected for office.

By law, neither can an insurrectionist, but here we are.

You are.

I'm outside the lines watching the circus burn, keeping my hopes up the audience notices it and get out while there is time.

Not sure what you're trying to say here. I'm supporting your point that rules will be broken; they already have been.

Just trying to (more or less) clearly state, that although not being american, I am aware things are getting very bad over there and have the potential to get even worst, but I hope the people realize it in time to do something to turn it around.

Oh right, well I’m not American either. But I reckon this could have global implications and we’re all stuck on this little rock together (whatever Elon thinks about Mars).

Laws mean nothing any more. Both houses of Congress are Republican and the Supreme Court has several Trump supporters on it. No one with any power will stop him.
