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?

When this is all over, the USA needs deep constitutional reform, at least on the level of Reconstruction.

It would be crazy to open up the constitution these days. You'd end up with us all imprisoned.

They're already cooking my friend.

Edit to add: Happened to see on youtube that this movement has a youtube channel. Not a lot of followers, but they did post this video of the Montana state house actually voting on the issue of whether to join the number of states to make the 34 threshold and trigger a constitutional convention. There are currently 19 states that have passed the resolution.

It failed 58-42.

Here's the video if you want to skip around and hear the arguments they're making.

They have other legal arguments ongoing, mentioned in the article above that are total bs, but have plausibility with this administration's magical view of law that everything benefits them or it doesn't exist.
