  1. Trump probably isn't a direct threat but he has radicalised many, it only takes a few of them to become terrorists and they can do a lot of damage. Trump used rhetoric that for example the Oklahoma Bomber used. Economically he has done a lot of damage because the US government debt has skyrocketed especially with his handling of covid 19. If Biden's tax plan gets through this might help a little but because your country is in a really deep hole getting out will become more difficult I expect but being the biggest economy in the world you can get away with things other countries can't. The corporate welfare in the US doesn't make up for lack of social welfare for humans and this is the most stark difference between a country like my country Australia and the US. Australia is more free trade and less industry welfare but relatively effective social welfare. As an example the US governments spend more as a proportion of GDP on healthcare yet it's not universal and from a holistic approach has lower outcomes because life expectancy in the US is about 4 years lower. Covid 19 has shown how deficient the US health system from a holistic point of view is, 500 covid 19 tests in the US by the end of February and no contact tracing or quarantine to speak of , so hundreds of cases from China if that became millions of cases and much more cases came from Europe anyway with again no quarantine. In comparison Australia 10,000 tests by the end of February for 1 fifteenth of the population, contact tracing and quarantine for all arrivals, on testing South Korea with about 1 fifth the population of the US 100,000 tests by the end of February. US people could have handled it being done properly and Trump would be the greatest president ever but although the initial failures don't seem to be his fault the continued failure to the point of encouraging people to infect each other certainly was and to use his own words allowing the virus to spread throughout all states and territories he should be punished. Maybe he will be in the end we wait and see.
