I see massive Anti Trump protests and protests against his policies

but no spontaneous and huge PRO-Trump demonstrations. Especially overseas. Seems awful easy to get the same small group of fanatics to come to a rally for the cameras, but, no overwhelming street protests for him, why? Half-ass counter-protests, but, no numbers like the Democrats turn out.
Until foreign countries and Congress start suggesting he resign, I fear we are going to continue this nightmare. Personally, I don't have 4 years of my life to donate to a scam election resulting in a chaos govt. that dismantles our Country. What and when is our endgame? How much proof is required for true action to right this ship? How much National Depression can we as a people endure?
What if we grant a legal forgiveness period to Congress for those who knowingly cheated(NRA etc.)if they swear they will immediately vote to impeach? How are we going to stop this?
Seems to me, he's being buoyed up by a small percentage of Americans (elected and unelected), fox, and 'polls' that assure us he's at 35%-40% popularity, but seem wrong somehow.
Since when is THE premiere Democracy a 'government by the minority'? And how is this a righteous standard of govt to the point of war'ing and imposing THIS on other countries in the future as THE system of govt?
Any ideas?

"Until foreign countries and Congress start suggesting he resign."

Democratic nations never comment on or interfere in the electoral processes of other countries. To do so would suggest that the people of nation do not have the right to make their own choices. The people's choice is supposed to be always respected regardless of how foolish it seems to outsiders.

The US is often accused of interfering - and it has. But by and large US efforts abroad resign themselves to supporting freedom of press and encouraging democratic institutions rather than any particular candidate. George Soros has given huge amounts to these efforts which is why autocrats hate him.

This is why Trump's behaviour towards the UK and Europe is so outrageous. He was invited by the British PM to visit and then he said somebody else would be a good PM. This wasn't just about the PMs - he basically insulted the entire nation by rejecting their democratic choice.

desperate times call for desperate measures. dt never happened before, and I think we need to think out of the box to get rid of him. Climate change alone is a good enough reason in my book.
