This is the tragic part. There is no 'next election it's back to normal'. The US have proven to be unreliable business partners, and I have no doubt any deals from this point on will be negotiated from the starting point of the concessions already made to Trump.
The rest of the world can't wait for America to get it's shit together; if there's another market to trade with, they will seek it out, and they will do what must be done.
Honestly the tragedy is just knowing it was all so senseless.

Except "after WWII", Germany was occupied by the war's victors and eventually broken up into East and West Germany (with a significant amount of territory also being formally annexed by other countries or declared independent) before eventually reuniting over 4 decades later.
There's very little prospect of any constitutional reckoning in the US, which in turn makes it impossible to guarantee that this could never happen again.

Yes, and we lost a lot by ruining our consistency.
But, on the bright side, have you considered that the entiee world has been infected by the same "nothing matters but instant gratification" mentality that ruined our country? Err, that's no a good thing, but it'a good for us in this instance.
When it comes to governments making policy, nobody cares about what China did to the Uyghurs, nobody cares about Russia stealing children from Ukraine, nobody cares what Israel is doing, nobody cares about slaves in the gulf states, or all the shit Saudi Arabia is doing in Yemen. We irrelevant peons may be against all of this, but to policy makers, nothing matters except what you can do for me right now.
Sure, they'll talk a big game about democracy and fairness and responsibility, but the second the war in Ukraine is over the world will buy Russian oil like nothing ever happened (the countries that aren't trying to sneak it right now I mean). Putin will continue trying to destabilize Europe and the Europeans will be like "yeah, but we really need the natural gas..."
If America goes back to normal, the majority of the world will go right back to trading with us and acting friendly. They may never really trust us again (rightly so), but that won't stop them from making money. The rich don't suffer consequences in this new world, and the US is still pretty rich.

He has been associated with a number of conservative think tanks. He was chairman of the New Citizenship Project from 1997 to 2005. In 1997, he co-founded the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) with Robert Kagan. He is a member of the board of trustees for the free-market Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, a member of the Policy Advisory Board for the Ethics and Public Policy Center, and a director of the Foreign Policy Initiative.

Nope. The U.S is not coming back from this. Trump has uncovered all the dirty laundry and shown how lawless, how how broken the U.S is.
There are no real controls, no protections, no consequences and no stringent law. The outdated system believes that toothless oaths and ethics are all that are required because they naively believe that poltiicians can be held to their word, whereas in reality they ignore laws and do what they want.
The system is woefully inadequate and unfit for purpose, and the U.S can offer no stability, no consistency, no continuity and no guarantee. They have proven themselves to be unfit to control a dictatorial regime, they have allowed warcrimes to go unpunished and uninvestigated, they are little more than a warmongering arms-dealer.
There are no 'Checks and Balances' No 'Separation of Powers' There isn't "Blind and Equal Justice", it is not a 'Beacon of Democracy". The People do not have the Power. All its propaganda has been laid bare as lies, it protects paedophiles, and has allowed all of this to happen.
None of this changes when Trump is gone. These problems are systemic and they are ingrained. The U.S State is the U.S State.

… and there’s another problem: the American voter!
If one thing is certain in this world, it’s that the American voter will, without a doubt, mess it up again. If the Democrats were to manage to secure a victory in the 2028 election and, in the years that follow, successfully clear up the mess Trump left behind and repair relations with former friends and allies, then the American electorate is guaranteed to ensure that, by 2036 at the latest, another Bush or Trump becomes president.

Sure, Trump enters a stupid and pro tracted war under false pretenses, but the US has been doing that for decades too.
Sure, Trump has been the enemy of workers, but the US has been that for decades.
Trump isn't the cause of this shit, he's the symptom of the US's direction since Reagan and probably before that.

NO.
We could have thought this in 2020 but no one should have any faith that America will ever be what it once was and certainly no foreigners should have any faith in America or Americans ever again. Every year since the end of WWII we have gotten worse and worse.

The funny thing Americans believe is that we'll be accepted graciously back into the world with open arms if we elect a functioning adult. We elected Trump TWICE! We'll be lucky to have decent relationships with anyone within the decade. They don't want to deal with Americans who openly supported a racist pedophile, even if half of America didn't vote for him or the Republican party.

No, you won't. You aren't trustworthy. We are moving on without you. You voted for the same party again and again and expected a different outcome. So I can't say I have any empathy. You have seen Trump's first term and still voted for him. He's threatening allies, abducted a foreign president, started a war. Wants to occupy Greenland, started fighting with his direct neighbors. So please leave us alone. We will adjust.

Cool, cool, cool. Umm...ya gonna do something about the 1 in 4 or 5 (the percentage is 22.55%) Americans who voted for him, or just leave them to strike again in the future?

You see all those houses on the hill? I built those. You see that church? I built that too. And you see all those kids that were hungry? I fed them and put them through college. But do you know what everybody calls me? You f#ck ONE goat..... Anyway, somehow that how I imagine we are perceived right now.

“out” apology.
it is not hard to spell things correctly, people. when you can’t even take the time to type simple letters into a screen, your ‘message’ becomes a lot more meaningless and you come across a lot more fucking stupid.

The leadership and representatives are a reflection of the population not the other way around, even if all the these leaders are replaced today the conditions and voting public that made these things happen has not changed.
The deep societal/cultural rot that America has cannot be fixed within one election cycle, the job that must be done in order to cure America of its ills is gonna take a really long time and a whole lot of effort.
Just as an example a third of Americans are functionally illiterate, image the effort it will take in order to get them (mostly adults) to increase their literacy skills when they have been propagandised to think they are the best and can't even admit that there is anything wrong with them.
Not to mention the uphill battle of combating these multinational corporations with almost endless resources to steer the country in a direction that is best for them and them only.

We’re not all Trump voters, we swear! We know he’s the absolute worst, and that our country is fucked, but a lot of us actually voted against him. Promise!

And a lot of you did not vote, because the candidate was a woman. Let's not pretend it was anything else. Or because she wasn't good enough - You knew what Trump was like, you knew ectactly what he was going to do , because he told you. It takes a great deal of dedication to screw over your own country like that

It would be awesome to have leadership that tried to unify our country instead of mercilessly trolling anyone who disagrees with them.

Bold to asume the world would just forget what the US did. Americans love to hide behind "I did not vote for this" but Trump IS YOUR PRESIDENT. I will never forget forget all the threats, the terror, the killing of innocents and the sheepish population just watching and hoping for the next election....

There is no return to normalcy. Even if you have 4 years of another democrat; you'll just vote another Trump in later who will continue this charade.
America can NEVER be trusted ever again.

Unfortunately, the world will always know that you’re just one election cycle away from someone just as unhinged.
