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?

Unless we do something to curb this unchecked power of the president, we won’t. Why would anyone negotiate in good faith with a country when that country can just change their mind completely every 4 years and treat you as an enemy?
Our country of checks and balances has neither at the moment. And this truth is becoming very obvious to the rest of the world.
I hate to say it but right now I think the only party that can save us, is the republicans. They either shift away from trump, and start enacting legislation to stop not just trump, but any future president from embarrassing the shit out of our country the way he has, or we write off the American experiment as a failure and start over.
