"Reddit tier America bad geopolitics takes"
The US president threatened to take Greenland by force, that's a very real thing.
Mind you, it's one man, and not the nation or state, but he does have a lot of backers.
That's a very real concern.

That's a very real concern.
My 2ct:
He is the duly elected leader in a representative democracy. He speaks on behalf of all U.S. Americans, he acts on behalf of all U.S. Americans, and all U.S. Americans share the same responsibility for the actions of his government.
He isn't the only problem, though. It has now been proven that the U.S. Constitution is not worth the paper it is written on. In my opinion, that's the real concern. Trump will not be around for long. The U.S. Constitution, the U.S. Supreme Court, the people that allowed that to happen and the Republican Party will.
Edit:
At least the U.S. Constitution needs some amendments, and I don’t see that happening, but there may be some plans to amend it I’m not aware of.
Edit-2:
Of course, there will still be cooperation with the U.S. after Trump, but fundamentally, something is broken. We will not return to the pre-Trump state.
I am outside the U.S.
> that Trump is a temporary phenomenon
It is not. The unlimited authority, the supreme court that goes along with it, the party that supports it all, and the citizenship that enables it in the first place will be there long after Trump is gone. It's not Trump pulling the trigger.
It's not Trump alone. There was the Tea-party before him and there will be fascists after him. We are not talking about the USA doing some shady things. We are talking about a country that gave up on shared values and norms, that kills people left and right without due process and that assaults countries without reason, all while threatening the next assault(s) and being openly racist.
Oh god no. How wrong can you be.
The world is now well aware what the American people have voted for (twice!) and may well vote for again. We don't want that risk thanks.
Breaking things is much easier than making them. American democracy is going to take a long time to recover.
