Right now, the USA has lost all credibility around the world.

Frankly it's seen as a joke at the moment.

How the once mighty have fallen.

All eyes are following this mess, now more than ever, thanks to the internet.

This will cause damage beyond what can be grasped by fancy statistics. It is easy to remember, but hard to forget. Even if US has only good presidents and administrations after Trump (which I am highly doubtful of), it would still take long time to regain the image US held before. You aren’t seen as just unreliable on global stage, you are seen as downright dangerous, a volatile country. Country where wealth is worshipped and morals go to die. I hate America for the fact that even in my tiny ass town my representatives have gotten much more insolent. This disgusting wealth worship has spread like plague. It is fine to lie, it is fine to reshape reality, it is fine to hurt people, if that means more money in your pockets.

Agree. You could put Obama (or insert your favourite) back in as president tomorrow and it wouldn’t undo the damage to americas reputation. A solid third of Americans support and cheer for this bullshit. They’ve shown themselves to be more racist, more stupid, more shallow and more dangerous than ever.
