Comment on you are the democratically elected leader of a liberal democratic country which so far has had a good relationship with the US, how do you and your country survive 4 years of trump?

Secretly record the back channel phone calls where he begs world leaders to let him do what he wants to save face, then release it with no deal.

He’ll be furious but when there are like 6-10 phone calls on record not even his diehard followers will respect him. Blood in the water at that point.

I am skeptical of that last bit. They mental gymnastics things all the time, I’m sure this would be no exception.

  Fair assumption. In this fictional scenario I think there would for sure be a Q-Anon style contingent who would believe the world leaders colluded with some kind of audio deep fake.
  
  I believe most republicans crave power at all costs and they want their team to keep winning. They will tolerate a cheater and a criminal that gets results but they will not abide a pathetic loser that makes them all look small by association.
