European here, I do not think that electing Trump makes the US a laughing stock; there were legitimate reasons to disagree with the Biden administration, and, given that Kamala was essentially a continuation of Biden's policies, there was no other real alternative.

Added to the legitimate reasons to disagree with Trump’s first term too? It’s not like we’re jumping to something new here; we’ve done it before
