Donald Trump, known for his less glorious behaviors, is even more radical than eight years ago.
Trump's electorate is perfectly familiar with him and are willing to follow his leadership.
Under Trump, the United States has ceased to be an open superpower committed to the world.
The world according to Trump is one dominated by US national interests and mercantile diplomacy, disparaging multilateralism.
There is a looming possible termination of Trump's military aid to Ukraine and a likely peace negotiated with Putin that benefits the invader.
The re-election of Trump poses a risk of division, even fracture in Europe.
Trump's conduct is riddled with misogyny, racism, and populism, which is a bad sign for women, immigrants, and democracy in general.

Conclusion: Trump's voters and the business and tech leaders who have rallied behind him have made their choice knowing what they're up against. Now, the rest of the world will have to deal with the consequences.
