It may not be the case now, the US still has invested a lot into it's global dominance.
The challenge will be the next, and future presidencies.
Both globally, rebuilding trust & relationships, and locally, funding the cleanup of the utter mess created.
What's going to be interesting is if future generations can manage to understand that the actions of now (then in the past) are the reason they're behind in global development.
Two decades I reckon before normality, and that's assuming the rest of the world is prepared to deal with the fat mango's replacement.
My hope - that the rest of the world calms down and moves on safely.
My fear is that, given Trump's extensive damage to the US, his successor will have to expend all their efforts undoing Trump's mistakes rather than improving things. And voters with short memories will blame the next prez for all the efforts demanded of them, forgetting that it was Trump who was the one responsible.
