    Doesn’t matter, it calls to question the legitimacy of the election and no international body that isn’t directly corrupt would accept them as legit leadership.

      Huh what does any international body have to do with anything. Most countries are bending down and sucking Trumps cock.

          … so you think other nations are going to stop interacting with the United States if the US legislature is installed via bribery and corruption?

          Has that happened for any other country? Let’s look at the 2025 Corruption Perceptions Index list, and you tell me which countries are getting kicked out of the UN or cut off from international diplomacy.

            No one said that.

            No one is getting kicked out or cut off. Please point to where I said or implied that.

            You can read into it wherever you’d like to fit your ideology but losing trust isn’t just getting kicked out of shit it’s losing deals and getting trade reduced because you can’t be trusted which I might add is already happening. Soft power matters and this administration should be learning that lesson but they almost certainly will not and it’s going to cost us in his phrasing “bigly”.

              You said:

              no international body that isn’t directly corrupt would accept them as legit leadership

              If other nations are still interacting with, conducting diplomacy with, and trading with that administration, they are accepting the leadership as legitimate. They are not running around the back to deal with or support an opposition leadership; they are accepting the results of the election as presented. That is directly in conflict with the point you put forth.

              Trade is being reduced, soft power is drying up, but that is specifically because the current administration is accepted as legitimate. Everyone in the world is agreeing on who is in charge in the US, and they’re pulling back as a result, but there’s no circumstance where nations stop accepting Trump as the leader of the US based on the results of the midterms. Which, to your definition, makes all of those nations corrupt as well.

                They won’t.

                Not at all, they just deal with the installed administration to keep moving.

                Because the current admin is legit, are you saying the election is fraudulent now? Wtf are you smoking.
