They do. It's two terms period, no matter if they're consecutive or not. It's even in the constitution, but Trump has already proved by now that he doesn't care about the laws, including the constitution.

Unfortunately due to their history and education a lot of Germans are allergic to criticism of Israel and the idea of zionism being genocidal and essentially fascist by now.

He may be not out, and he also may be replaced by someone even worse, as difficult as that may be to imagine now.

Agreed, but 'ethnicity' means something else, closer to 'national origin' mentioned on the poster. All the white people pictured may well be of different ethnicities, for example. 'Ancestries', perhaps? 'Different skin color'?

It's not much, but it's certainly much more than just whining on the internet.

Interestingly enough zero black people depicted, or any other races but white - just one dude with a dark orange complexion like the Mango Mussolini.

China pretty much did it, and they ended up with 30% - for now, as that may change in August, or at any given moment, of course. Their example, and also the examples of UK and Vietnam, may be used both to argue that escalation is not the solution, and nothing, including whatever concessions, lets anybody to escape tariffs completely; but also that maybe China still got the best it could get out of its tough stance. China, of course, is perhaps not the best example to follow, as they had the most leverage of all against US. EU is now the next in line.

As counterintuitive as it may be, it may be wisest not to retaliate, and just accept the US tariffs as they come, because any broad tariffs this high damage first and foremost the tariffing country. So the best way forward may well be to let the US screw itself with its tariff policy, and wait until somebody with an ounce of brain comes to power there.

China has much more leverage than Canada, and they have 30% coming on them in August. So not too much hope of Trump backing off very far, unfortunately.

It indeed is in the US, and the Hummer kept moving and would have run the guy over, if he had not stepped aside.

Again, it’s a spectrum

A spectrum from evil to stupid? Nah. There can be two spectrums at play, one of evil and one of stupidity, but not a single one. These categories are not mutually exclusive in any way, and usually Nazis show high scores on both spectrums. I have yet to see one Nazi who's not stupid, and that includes both Trump and Elon Musk.

I would argue that a Nazi is inevitably evil, and being stupid is a prerequisite of being a Nazi, because ultimately it's a self-defeating ideology that requires stupidity to believe in.

It's sarcasm from a parody account. Look at his handle and his other tweets.
