For Joe Reeve, the midterm afterglow faded fast.

The London startup founder was among the wave around the Trump-weary world awakening to the stunning news that Americans had sharply rejected President Donald Trump’s fist-in-the-eye stewardship of the United States that had started a war with Iran, forged no peace in Ukraine or the Mideast and made gas and food so expensive.

Voters, Reeve saw online, had flipped control of both houses of Congress, handing the power to check the president to his rival Democrats. American democracy, 250 years on, had survived the Trump era.

But a deep and profound distrust of the United States had survived the vote, too. And from national leaders to aspiring American immigrants, no one seemed confident that change was afoot.

We, as in the rest of the world, might start to do so once we see the current Junta hang and all their affiliates thrown into the deepest, darkest Oubliette.
Otherwise, we will just assume that you will bring in a new round of the worst and most despicable conservatives and pedophile rapists in 2-6 years.

It takes a bit more than just some voting to regain the world's trust that your favourite nations past time hasn't become "Heil'ing" around and snacking Lead paint chips of the walls
