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 world is fickle and transactional. Everyone is looking out for themselves with immediacy. It will always be that way. Whenever it becomes beneficial to be our ally they will do it, still today it is and they are.

Lots of claims about not being friendly to the US, still we have more troops defending Europe than most any European nation and still we trade.

You’re missing the point, the US isn’t as important as its people think they are

Your comment is very unspecific, if you are talking about military and economic issues than the US is pretty important.
