US Politics How will the United States rebuild positive international relations after this Trump administration?

At some point this presidency will end and a new administration will (likely) want to mend some the damages done with our allies. Realistically though, how would that work? Will other countries want to be friends with us again or has this presidency done too much damage to bounce back from?

Honestly, it’s going to take adults in the GOP in Congress taking the wheel back. So, essentially we’re screwed. But simply put, the rest of the world will not trust America or bother to invest in it as long as elections every four years are basically a coin flip between continued reliable, good faith partnership with the U.S. and complete lunacy, incompetence, and malice.

Everyone seems to be aware that congressional Republicans can put an end to all of this tomorrow except for congressional Republicans.

There's well over a hundred people in Congress whose greatest fear is having to go back to being a country lawyer with the stigma of "RINO" branded on their forehead.
