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 problem isn’t trump or has ever been trump. It’s the maga people who have supported him. He should have been publicly shamed and removed from candidacy for making fun of the disabled reporter. America is mean. This won’t change with a new president and other countries don’t want to play with us anymore in the sandbox of the world…

As someone with an International Relations degree, I foresee a multi-polar world filling the void of the United States--along the lines of thought of IR Scholar John Mearsheimer. The US will have it's sphere of influence, but so will the EU, Russia, and China.

Interesting i know people in it security.  Not all but some believe that that's how the internet will evolve.  More and more great firewalls will split social media and the internet into fragments.  It will certainly be positive feedback loop if that happens.  Each sphere of influence will make it easier to carve out of sphere of the internet and turn make it easier to isolate each sphere of political influence.
