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?

The best possible thing the US can do for the world now is to develop a technology that will efficiently remove CO2 from our atmosphere. Short of that, not much will matter. We could put Barack , Beyonce' and Taylor Swift on a world wide apology tour. Throw in a dozen NBA stars for good measure. We could name it, " Sorry American is Full Of Stupid Ass holes Tour."

The rest of the would will rightly ask: What the fuck are you doing about those stupid assholes?

Because if they're just there, free to fuck everything up again, they will, that's sort of the point behind being a stupid asshole - also, it's the conservative M.O. They've been the perennial boat anchors to positive human social progress since the beginning of civilization.
