When the position of the United States gets hurt, it means "liberals" get hurt - where "liberal" means anybody who might believe in lofty ideals like Constitutional rights or simply hasn't thrown in their lot with a hollow New York con man. I have tried and tried to steelman, but from everything I can tell this is really the only concrete policy mandate behind Trumpism. It's a societal death cult. Heaven's Gate didn't think they were killing themselves either.
