Well yes he is President but not for ever. Here in Canada you could be Prime Minister for 20 years. The US system, while not perfect has some safeguards against long term political dissatisfaction. The House of Representatives is reelected every 2 years. The Senate will have 33 of 100 seats up for reelection every 2 years. Theoretically Trump could lose all his legislative power in November. Just ask Obama how that works. People are hysterical for no reason. Trump's power is limited by the Constitution and the Legislative and Judicial branches of the US government. It's kinda funny to hear all this derangement syndrome stuff without any actual substance to back it up.

That's the thing though. Not every one is laughing. He still has strong support amongst Republicans and they don't pay much attention to the hysterical voices.

You are so right.
