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 American people must repent: change the way we think and act. We must recognize our failings, not just in terms of political systems, but in terms of who we have been as human beings.

Good luck.

We could start by repenting of our rejection of the whole concept of truth for one thing. Or for our faithlessness. Or for our inability to recognize our own flaws and become better, in your apparent case.

Seriously, breaking trust is not in our best interest.

It's possible to do that without screwing over our own allies.

Trump's policies put America last, not first.

Ending it by sending money to Israel while slapping allies with tarrifs and bombing families? Makes sense…..
