Well, stands to reason that more significant nations can lose the hat at any time.

  Well, when it happens to the level that it has under Trump, that country is in big trouble also. But noone (and I mean noone) has damaged a democratic nation as badly as Trump. There are a lot of contenders, but they all miss the mark by quite a bit.

      Russia was hardly a demoncratic nation. Thatcher is close, but she is not even close to the damage that Trump has done to America. The UK recovered, the U.S. will not.
