The situation feels tragic.
We have the most powerful country in the world, a country that has almost always adopted an aggressive attitude towards its enemies, that is openly accusing an enemy superpower of having influenced the democratic elections of its new president. Implicitly, it is delegitimizing its own democratically elected president.
Trump has been democratically elected, the people have spoken and the elections can hardly be invalidated.
But if he stays, he's at high risk of being considered by the institutions of his own country and by international political actors the puppet of a rival country.
Nothing good can come out of this.
