It doesn't matter. This American president insists on his term of office. The only attempt that could succeed in convincing him to step down would be to persuade him with facts that he is not bringing about any improvements for his country. And even if this information were accurate, he would still have the opportunity to want to improve based on the criticism. In everything bad there is something good and vice versa. The existence of this debate is more indicative of Switzerland's failure to adapt. - This does not happen by chance, but rather stems from the Swiss state's wishful thinking that one might educate someone like Trump to learn "our beautiful language", except that he doesn't depend on it, but rather "we" do. Whoever that is supposed to be. - "I have dug up the root of this debate, it only serves those who deny human rights! A rotten piece, you can keep it."

The Swiss government needs even much more backbone. Not only, but also in dealing with Mr Trump and similarly "pleasant" contemporaries, as was shown once again most recently in Davos. However, this has hardly ever worked in the last 40 years - partly due to the constant party bickering of the parliamentary factions - which is why there are grounds for pessimism on precisely this point in the future as well. It is simply not possible to please everyone when - one side right/the other left - they are solely interested in lining their own clientele's pockets. Therefore, at least at government level, a return to a policy of fulfilling the constitutional mandate would have been overdue long ago, even if the exponents were then voted out by the aforementioned squabblers, whereby "voters" on both sides would no longer be able to "argue away" what they actually have in their so-called "people's representatives".
