The US is always going to be a large powerful and influential country, Geography and natural resources and a high education base ensure that.
What it won't be is as influential as it was for a long time, if ever.
The damage isn't a "Next President" problem, it's already a generational problem.
The international rules/trade based order was predicated on both sides agreeing that those were the rules, when one side unilaterally decides to tear it up and then demand the same advantages they had before they tore it up, the other has to respond, We can't ignore it and hope the problem goes away.
They chose to open Pandora's box on this one, the rest of us are just figuring out what that looks like going forwards.
