    This like all the other trade that is disappearing to the EU is going to become a permanent change. Prior allies now view the US as an enemy and aggressor and are forming alternative routes of trade. This will not be returning just because the president is changed in the future. The relationship is over.

      Yeah that’s what I think as well, because Trump is just a symptom of a larger issue, he represents a large percentage of americans, especially amonght the rich, he did not get to this position without the backing of these greedy fascist pigs who know they can use him to make a lot of profit at the expense of the common people, even when he’s gone, these foreign nations still have to deal with these greedy sociopaths and their meddling in foreign affairs, not to mention the dumb voting public who might just back another little Nazi who makes them feel good about themselves

      I was thinking the other day how funny it is that the Untied States has had such wide influence that multiple IPs from other countries got movies made in America (Harry Potter, Smurfs, LEGO, The Handmaid’sTale). Now that Trump has ruined America’s relationship with the rest of the world, I wonder if we’ll see less of that

        Unless there is a Nuremberg style trial for the current administration, I don’t know how America can gain back it’s trust.

        Even if Americans elect a president that is super helpful/generous to allies, there is always the chance that they elect another Trump in the following election who basically has almost free reign to do anything they want with no consequences.

        The constitution that Americans beat over everyone’s heads has been revealed to be republican toilet paper.

          Yeah, Trump has exposed how broken the American system is. He’s exposed American as completely incapable, or unwilling, of preventing a criminal enterprise from running the country into the ground.

            I can’t believe Russio somehow won the cold war after all this time, for all the red scare anti communist shit this country went through, they now resemble Russian style oligarchy run by criminals more and more, how soon before Trump starts another war to justify why he needs to remain in power

        Most of the good people that don’t just flee would be dead after a Civil War 2, leaving only proficient killers and crooks, or just cowards who keep their noses down. Large swathes of the country would be, for decades at least, one of “those places” that you never travel to and hear tales of barbarism from every now and then. Civil war would be a degradation, not a redemption arc.
