The trouble for its global partners, especially in the Western Alliance, is that even if the attitude in the White House does change in 2029, no-one will ever be able to trust a repeat isn't 4 years away. US dominance has depended on its reliability as a partner - and that's gone.

Countries cannot put their economic and physical security in the hands of a few thousand mouthbreathers in Pennsylvania or Wisconsin every 4 years.

Middle powers like Canada that do not wish to become a U.S. protectorate are looking hard at what is needed to secure their futures. A President Newsom, though a welcome change, does nothing to reverse these vectors now that they have been started. The times to stop this were Nov 5, 2024 and Nov 8, 2016.
