It certainly deserves ridicule but it's a different level of credibility from defaulting on promised funding for vital projects around the world. It's also Trump-specific.
Unlike later democracies, the US Constitution has no provision for deposing a President by the public, only impeachment by Congress. And it enshrines gerrymandering, which is how we got a Republican majority in Congress. Which is (with extra evil shenanigans) how we got hard-right maggots as 6/9 of the Supreme Court. So you are correct, we citizens who oppose him and them cannot get rid of him unless we wrest the majority in Congress. Which ain't gonna be easy, see gerrymandering above. Surprisingly, the few who have tried assassination have been disappointed he wasn't as far right as they wanted. It doesn't mean everyone is "willing to accept it when their leaders rape children and commit the most horrific war crimes." If you're advocating that I purchase a weapon, abandon my responsibilities here, travel 3,000 miles and attempts to assassinate him, may I point out that there's nothing to that method which requires citizenship and you are equally likely to succeed as I?
