Sure seems like that.

The reality is that _most_ Americans can't stand the guy.  It's
just that the way that our weird (and arguably messed up)
electoral system works that allowed a minority to vote him into
office.

He should never have been elected a second time to begin with.
If nothing else, then the attack on the US Capitol on Jan 6,
2021, as he deparately tried to cling to power should have been
the end of his political career _and_ he should have been thrown
into prison for his coup attempt.  But his supporters are
basically in a cult.

Trust me, to our European friends reading this, no matter how
upset you are over this actions, those of us who stand opposed
to him right here in the US are even more so.
