It has already passed a point of no return. If your politicql system allows one man to do that much in that short time - it cannot really be trusted in a rules-based world.
How about parliamentsrism? You saw it first hand in Denmark.

There is a huge global anti-american wave building up.
All areas.
Politics, sports, music, consumer goods - you name it.
When picking a fight with everybody all at once - you will losw friends and respect.

Sorry Rufus 😢🤷‍♂️

What I really don't understand is that he can be allowed to act like a king without a parliament.

He just hands out decrees like there's no process for lawmaking.

Is the president an absolute king? 👑

And while Trumps toys around with the tariffs hammer Elon Musk dismantles democratic safeguards.

Im sorry rufus, but you lost our trust when you, as a nation, voted him into office again. Just the knowledge that you are an american means that you will be met with scepticism wherever you go. You might not have voted for him personally, but a vast majority of americans did.
