      The USA will not easily recover from his administration. Trump completely wrecked the soft power the USA once had.

      His brain amputated supporters think the USA can go alone with just their military might. It totally shows the mentality behind MAGA, where they think the best way to do things is to be aggressive and a “bad ass”.

      We are watching an empire collapse in real time.

      You do undertstand the concept of a democracy, right ? That is because it is a democracy that he was elected… Sure, they do not have a direct democracry, but still.

      Watching what’s happening in Minnesota reminds me of my studies on WWII: Hitler’s life and personality that led to the Holocaust, the Night of the Broken Glass, the French resistance, the Gestapo… and I don’t like exaggerated comparisons.

      I hope people from each side wake up and realize they are being pitted against each other by bigger powers than one can see. It has to be more than Trump. Everybody can see dementia creeping in, he’s just an angry shell, a puppet with hidden masters.

      If he could sell his ignorance, he’d be trillionaire overnight. His speech was an abomination. 😡

      It’s nothing for you to be concerned about. He was elected whether you agree with it or not. It’s a 4-year term. You’ll be okay.

      if any, this should be encouragement to study, pick up a book – read and make sure your children get a proper education about what enables them to be free and enjoy the priviledges they are enabled to, in Europe

      We need to let go of this idea that we somehow have a shared culture with the US. We don’t. They may have invented modern liberal democracy, but they never implemented it. It has been a country run by a ruling class exploiting the majority of their population since before it declared independence, and that has never really changed.

      Elections don’t mean anything when your government is actively undermining public education and supporting a media ecosystem where the worst misinformation always floats to the top, and the owners of America have made sure of that for a very long time now.

      I think what we here in Switzerland need to do is to ask ourselves why we have such vastly better outcomes than the US despite the fact that our political system (federalism and the same system of checks and balances) is modeled after theirs. I would say it’s a functioning education system and social safety net, the fact that our executive branch is not elected directly by the people, the fact that we’re not a two party system, and the fact that we have publicly funded information media. Not necessarily in that order. Those are the things that make us different from the US, and I would be very wary of people who want to destroy these things because we can see where that leads right now, in real time.

      crazy how in 2 minutes of video you said nothing but only insulted him. Not saying I am pro-trump in any way, but this is not the way to criticize a politician. You are as brain-dead (your own words) as him

    15. SellSideShort on

      Should have stopped listening at “slimey”, dude clearly is a far left leaning pundit incapable of any logic in reasoning, or providing literally any example of his claims. Switzerland in the next 5-10 years will be solving very similar problems. Cost of living, high unemployment, unchecked immigration, increasing costs of goods and services (we already see this in things like insurance premiums). Perhaps this guy should be looking inward at his own country instead of pointing the finger. Also, “we are watching a geriatric patient”, is he serious? That was Biden. How about we replay clips of Biden and Trump side by side. I’ll show you geriatric.

      EDIT:
      Dude has 34 subscribers on YT. Started making videos on Jan 14 2026. No wonder.

      We’d take away Grandpa’s car keys if he’d be in such a state.

      Americans vote him into highest office.

      Different standards.

    18. Suspicious_Coyote609 on

      What has this to do with switzerland?
      This video was just 2min of personal insults.
      Not a single Argument was made here.

    20. Dormek92 on

      As a swiss citizen i feel concerned about the trump hate from our mainstream medias every day. When do we talk about europe and how fucked we are with our useless politics?

      Naah lets hate trump 🤣

    21. MOTUkraken on

      I am concerned and weirded out by what literally every other country calls “democracy”.

      Switzerland is the only democracy in the world.

    23. Miserable_Gur_5314 on

      SRF has a good reportage about it, “my family in the US”.

      Trump is just the product of their binary political system. What they need is an overhaul of it, more in line with for example the Swiss one, where there is also grey and colours in a parliament + not one führer.

      If you are republican, you have only one senile 80 year old to vote for, because he knew best how to appeal the uneducated mass.
      This is for them still better than voting for the other extreme, which is democrats. Like being SVP, but you need to vote SP or the other way around.

    25. Thercon_Jair on

      If we continue to dismantle societal guiderails, we will arrive at the exact same position as the USA down the line.

      The upcoming SRF vote will be a watershed moment. We either stay in control of the political discourse, or we hand the control over to other people with an interest in extracting more money. And more money can be extracted if we’re continually fighting while the super wealthy do as they wish, with us too busy shouting at each other.

    26. Elmer-Fudd-Gantry on

      To this day, and I’m American, I ask myself this question almost daily. It’s a very scary place to be. He is now quite unpopular here so all I can surmise is that a lot of uneducated people bought in to the craziness that he was selling…..but didn’t expect it to get THIS crazy. Others that voted for him are just cruel and proudly racist and fine with his madness.

    27. Cinesider8 on

      On the flip side, let’s get our leader Guy Parmelin to learn how to string 4 words in English without looking at his notes. What a shame it is to hear him praise Trump with the English level of someone who’s never left VD.

    28. atalantafugiens on

      I know several people here in the Ostschwiiz that are redpilled Trump fans which worries me quite a bit, this complete disregard for intellectual/professional people in places of power is scary, especially combined with a society bound to their phones. All the right wing billionaires own all the platforms, why are we sucking up to them like this is the highest degree of social entropy we can create. Fuck that

      > How can a person like this be president of a nation

      Simple. Enough people need to believe that having a mentally retarded criminal as their persident is a good idea and vote for him.

      The question why such a huge number of voters in the U.S. thought that this is a good idea is a more tricky one. That major TV stations like FOX News are spreading lies and nonsense 24/7 and that the average American apparently is unable to detect even the most obvious bullshit is probably part of it.

      Besides this even Platon 2500 years ago saw how democracy contains the risk for such an outcome.

    33. Great_Reality2536 on

      It’s appalling that such a person is actually president of the United States.

      He doesn’t know much but meddles in everything, confuses Greenland with Iceland, would like to be part of Canada, wants the Nobel Peace Prize…

    34. Umedemango on

      Why are you concerned about the democracy in the us? Could you elaborate why it isn’t a democracy? Genuinely asking 🙌🏻n

    35. QJustCallMeQ on

      I agree with you, but I’m not sure what the point of your video is. It just makes you look like you are discovering this suation this week, when it has been quite clear for a very long time. Whether that is 1 year (presidency), 15 months (election), 3 years (2nd election campaign), 10 years (1st election campaign) – nothing in your video is new

      Did you only notice because he came to Switzerland? lol

    37. y4nuts on

      Everyone know he’s an idiot and they still voted for him, that’s say a lot about the current state of the US. That’s what happened when your education system is weak.

    38. Bridge_Adventurous on

      I’m sorry, but what is the purpose of this video? Insults and mocking will change no Trump supporter’s mind. If anything, it’ll only make them double down. On top of that, this has nothing to do with Switzerland.

    40. narcowake on

      It’s no longer a democracy, we are becoming very authoritarian…. Based on the thoughts of a demented racist narcissist and his minions

    41. schliifts on

      First of all cringe.
      Second, if a child can debunk him so easily, why didnt this guy do it once in tho whole 2 minutes of his speech?

      Im not saying trump ist the pinnacle of truth but man, this arrogant and midwit way if talking is why people vote for trump. They want a real person in that position, not another one of you… Learn to accept it.

    42. hge8ugr7 on

      Even hell has a basement. But this basement has it’s own unlimited amount of basements. Soon he will appear in China.

    43. South_Quantity_1027 on

      part of the problem is the lack of alternative – most of the democrats and Americans who dislike trump like to complain and say it should be like this that etc…but no real actions…on the other hand maga supporters are like crazy nuts and willing to do stuff proactively- they are all about action (albeit brainless)
