Sadly, it’s not just the pedophile felon in the White House. It’s the 10s of millions of Americans who betrayed their country by voting for the monster and the anti-American party that allows him to commit his crimes and other henious acts

I recommend electing the first female president, and giving kneepads and a hair tie as an inauguration gift. That should fix diplomatic relations pretty quick

It’s not going to be just the next one. It’s going to probably be the next dozen or so. It wasn’t the next Chancellor of Germany that had to apologize. It’s basically been Germany since 1950 up apologizing.

If this is meant to mean “whomever is elected president next after Trump” you’ve got 50/50 odds. If it’s a Democrat, then yes. If it’s one of these MAGA cultists trying to emulate their Great Leader then absolutely not because they don’t think they’ve done anything wrong. That’s the whole problem.
If it’s meant as Trump rehearsing apologies…I mean, he literally on multiple occasions has said when asked that he can’t think of a single flaw or bad decision or time he was wrong in his entire life. You think he’s ever or ever will apologized? Not likely.
Bonus though – this meme, if you pull up the gif or video this still shot is from, he literally grabs one of the guys by the shoulder and shoves him out of the way so he can move out front and center, then stops, poses for the camera, puffs himself up, and does a dramatic jacket button like he is shooting an ad for his next reality show. He literally cannot control his own narcissism.

Presuming of course the clown cart doesn’t destroy the nation-state , the NEXT president will have to apologize and hire the best international experts in relations and engaging each and every nation on this planet, with a proper trade deal that benefits both nations or groups of nations.
They also have to spend non-trivial amounts of money resecuring computer systems and infrastructure compromised by Elon Musk and hold Mr. Musk personally responsible for ever setting foot in any US government building , expropriating critical data, and crippling secure communications across the planet.
Furthermore, swift trials and severe penalties for convicted public servants from the executive to every political appointee. Seeing trials conducted in their entirety in expeditious form and the aggressive re-hiring and massive funding of legal experts to penalize and punish every ethical violation, every constitutional fuckup , every war crime.
Once convicted, public trials that show every one of these clowns in orange prominently perp-walked should air on Fox News every single day communicating their guilt and their depravity to their believers with facts, evidence and encouraging the dismantling of every single thing they hold dear – till that is exterminated.
This solemn responsibility is not just demonstrating to the world we can cure ourselves of the likes of someone like Mr. Musk or Mr. Trump, we should become demonstrably excellent such that no charlatan dares bring themselves around, but more than just some gratuitous trials, it needs to be a rebirth of civics and civic society , and education of people across the land.

It won’t matter. It’s been proven to the international community that the US no longer has checks and balances, that the senate and house are impotent, and that every alliance and agreement can be burned every four years at the whim of whoever was put in the White House by an obscenely expensive and corrupt election process.Â
Other countries would be wise to never trust the US again.Â

“The next president” assumes our democratic republic survives when we can all clearly see we’re well along the way to fascism. Not saying it’s gonna be the demented orange shit bag for a third term, but we’ll never have a government for the people again unless we destroy the ruling class that got us here. They wont give up the wealth and power they have accumulated so quickly over this past year and a half. We either take the country back or get dragged down to hell with the oppressors. If you ever sat in history class wondering what you would do as a Nazi citizen, well now is the time for action because you are a citizen of the 21st century nazis.

No, it’s beyond that. The first Trump term could be apologized for. This second one…? As a poor example of a president once said:
There’s an old saying in Tennessee—I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, ‘Fool me once, shame on…shame on you.’ Fool me—you can’t get fooled again.

Except that this time it won’t work. It was one thing with Trump 1.0. The world was willing to consider that this was an aberration, that it happened but now things were back to normal.
That won’t happen after Trump 2.0. The fact that he was reelected permanently stained the US and underlined the concerns that our government and policies can change wildly every 4 years. How can anyone trust anything a sane president says or promises knowing that 4 years later another Trump might be in power. The corrosive effect of this is profound and will take decades, if not generations, to overcome.
