> Unfortunately it takes a lot more effort to build things than tear them down

I think it will take many, many years to rebuild the positive reputation that the US had among it's allies. At least from the people I've interacted with there is a universal hate for Trump at a level that I have never seen before, across a wide cross section of society. The man is reprehensible.

It takes a while to get over that, and he will forever be there. Also if he is the new normal then God help us all.
