[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The saddest thing is there is no coming back from this.  Even if the US elects an all-Democratic Presidency and Congress in 2028, the long-ter damage to US credibility means that no US trade agreement or military treaty will be taken seriously in the future.  Eventually our status as world reserve currency will be eclipsed, maybe by China, as nations understand how fragile our government actually is.  Like Russia, the US will only have the "stick" of a huge military to sway other nations.[/quote]

This a million time. Trump 2016 could have been a fluke, a protest vote that somehow won. but Trump voted three times, a win in 2024 after all he did and was he was promising. this is no longer a fluke and other countries are readjusting. see Europe working to build its own security system independent from the US (and based on EU defense industry, not US), Germany weakening spending rules and rearming first time in 80 years. also, why people should negotiate agreements with the US while they are clearly toilet paper for the US? Trump renegotiated Nafta in his first term, making it the best agreement possible blah vlah and the day be become president just a few years later first thing he puts tariffs on Canada. so why Canada should negotiate another agreement if the US will not comply with it. why should Iran negotiate an agreement with Trump when Trump tore down the previous agreement while Iran was in compliance? when the US shows that agreements are not worth the paper they are written on, why countries should enter into agreements with the US. the US is obviously a powerful country with leverage, but traditional allies are just going to move to go on their own.  we all got the crazy uncle ranting at Thanksgiving idiotic things on economy, foreign policy and so on. well, now we have the crazy uncle running the country.
