Perhaps by the time Trump dies, no one anywhere will trust the US anymore.

The good thing is that once he's dead and after a few years of recovery, the US can start work on regaining a shred of credibility.

And perhaps we can get that world-police bulls#|t off our backs and redistribute money domestically to people that don't have Inc. after their names.

The point is that the credibility isn't that hard to get back.

I think the international community would be willing to grant us some slack, once the US populace gets off the MAGA train, which is going to take much longer. Some cohorts are now a few generations into this thinking, by one name or another.

Imagine being born in 2012 and starting to be aware of the world around 2015-2016.

In four more years those people are (hopefully) voting, because I think a lot of them are going to be looking for a big leftward shift in the US, which would only bring it into the center of world politics.
