It's probably not ill-advised.
Although I'm not sure any civilized nation would have him, given his attachment to Trump's first term. You don't shred the taint of being part of the Leopards Eating Faces Party just because your face nearly got eaten.

Trump certainly never hid his intentions...

If they harm him I won't act like it wasn't predictable, nor like it isn't deserved. He was fine with those leopards eating other people's faces, he just didn't consider the possibility they might eat his face too.

He's certainly outlasted many of his colleagues in arms over the years. As slippery as they come.

What an utter buffoon you guys have the misfortune of having as president. Note: he doesn't deserve a capital P in front of his title

Every time I think of the country between Mexico and Canada, I'll remember, they voted for the buffoon. Twice. Nothing can erase this national self-humilation from my mind. The country's reputation has been stained forever.

As they say, pride comes before the fall.

Argentinians are still proud of their history despite being the only South American country to completely succeed in genocide of native people and their slave population, electing a Nazi sympathiser and subsequent far right politicians who murdered thousands of their own citizens and corrupt leaders who drove their economy from being the bread basket of South America to becoming a banana republic.

Societies are quite capable of forgetting their own history and repeating the same mistakes, over, and over again.
