    Before people trusted us to honor important parts of our commitments. Now people expect the worst from us in nearly everything. We lit an assload of soft power on fire and it will likely contribute to our "downfall" from global hegemon to competing great power. Silver lining is that a lot of the wealth we've skimmed off the top of the global economy for decades will now start going back to our allies and industrially underdeveloped parts of the world held hostage by our dominant military and economic position.

    The difference is that people are questioning whether they should keep trading in dollars. This is new.

    That is a great outcome though. Hopefully the US is so weakened by Trump that the world can know some peace from Americas evilness.

    I am hopeful that the people in the US can experience relief. The problem is that people are brought up with silly propaganda like it being the free-est country in the world, the best, etc. It's all very strange and causes cult-like behavior.
