Is there merit to the arguments made in this video? Or where are they wrong? They seem like good arguments to me, but I am interested in other perspectives.

Regardless of the arguments in this video, the ramifications of Trump's corruption and other actions will be felt for decades after his funeral.

As Mark Carney said, this represents a rupture in international relations.

The USA will have a lot of work ahead of it if they expect the rest of the world to trust them in the future.

    I agree, though I think the corruption goes far beyond Trump. I keep thinking of "drain the swamp", which was an appealing campaign promise, but I think neither Trump nor the Republicans drained the swamp. They just made a new, bigger swamp so you don't notice the old one so much. I agree with the conclusion of the video that the United States is on the brink if irrecoverable, though I expect there are still many years of turmoil before the decline is complete. And, sadly, probably some tactical nuclear strikes.
