      I think he already has. The U.S. is still militarily influential of course, but no one…NO ONE…takes their political leaders as anything more than unhinged toddlers anymore.

        Well to be fair, some leaders are seen as credible but everything is now predicated on the possibility that the guy elected in 4 years just decides to not honor anything. That used to be one of the hallmarks of the US, presidents honored the deals and such of previous presidents. So you’d know your deal would last or at least be renegotiated in good faith. Not so anymore.
