The likes of Trump shows that America might be losing grip on it’s position as a world leader. It won’t though, if not only for the ridiculous military budget. But economically that place is increasingly moving towards Asia (particularly China). To remain at the top though, you need to have a stable political system. It doesn’t even need to be democratic, but a coup (or civil war even) is definitely not a stable situation. So, Trump is definitely not “making America great again”. It takes a lot to be actually thrown from the top, but other nations are slowly losing bits of respect or regard for America. Especially during the previous Trump term.
Agreed. We don’t have another “oops, we fucked up in who we elected to lead the most powerful nation in human history that could literally, not figuratively, wipe all of humanity off the map if he felt like it after a round of golf”, in us that the rest of the world will forgive us for.
The fact that trump was ever elected, and has been close to re-elected, and is still going for a third attempt, is highlighting that a non-trivial number of Americans are willing to bring the system, and the world to its knees, purely because they feel disenfranchised for not getting the leg up they assume they would because of their skin color or family history supporting succession in the south.
