I shudder to think about the lasting damage to America's reputation this administration has caused, and what the geopolitical implications of that may be. I think the political instability of the US will create strategic opportunities for other nations like China to fill, not to mention that it will reduce America's persuasiveness on all sorts of global matters. Trust is an enormously valuable thing that is often undervalued until it is gone. Unfortunately I think the loss of trust others have in the United States (which didn't start with Trump) is going to create major difficulties for some time to come. I do however think that once this situation is put to rest, our strongest alliances will hold, and hopefully we can start behaving like a trusted partner again.
