Looking at France panicking because 2 weeks after snap election there isn't a clear majority, nor a coalition ready to propose a prime-minister to the president. What would be the standard time to do these negotiations in a functional democracy where doing coalition is common but doesn't take years (so US and Belgium do not coun :) )

Greetings from somewhere in East Africa;

Off-books? Zero days, mate. The president has it all laid out by "deep state" and/or sponsors. The president will (almost) have no say on that. Risking his/her influence on the administration is no Bueno

Officially? A month max.

And yes, "deep state" ~~was~~ are "the ones who shall not be named" who ~~were~~ are present on (almost) every country until Trump screamed them out.

i'm guessing that whole paragraph is meant to be antisemitic dogwhistles. if by "deep state", he doesn't mean jewish people, he'd do well to speak more plainly.
