True that the US's share of global GDP is lower than it has been. But there are many other ways to measure its power (and dominance), so it is easy to argue about this between reasonable people. Rather than make any specific point, I'd recommend acoup's detailed post about the US's overwhelming dominance across a huge swath of areas: https://acoup.blog/2022/07/08/collections-is-the-united-states-exceptional/ https://acoup.blog/2022/07/08/collections-is-the-united-stat... I think he makes a good case there, even if you are right and by some measurements the US did better in the past.
