Well, it's more like with each president over the past two decades, everyone became more aware that the US is not the benevolent/welcoming/whatever democracy it said it was. And with Trump's open imbecilic statements, it's like a switch went off in people's heads - "hey, they US is really not the benevolent/welcoming/whatever democracy it said it was!" It will reduce it's importance a bit for the next decade. Leave it to Trump's successors to strike the final blows. I don't know why the fuck you guys are talking about the US and Trump in this thread, btw.
