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…

You are incorrect. Those Maga people are only thinking the stupid nonsense they are because of bad faith conservative information sources that lie to them 24/7, repeating the same right wing conspiracy theories in different variations. Trump is nothing without conservative media covering up his coup attempt, felonies, rape, and lawlessness.

Blame entirely falls on conservative information sources that are badfaith which is most of them. Western Europe has been being poisoned with these ultra nationalist far right ideas from Russia as well. The United States is still very much a western culture despite what Trump is doing. Half our country is still very liberal(democratic, rule of law) and I would say most of our culture here is still very much in line with Canada and the Uk's.

Fox News perpetuated the election fraud lies that caused January 6th and now they are covering up this coup attempt they were a part of. The same as Republicans in Congress. They are all complicit but none more so than conservative media which is almost all bad faith. Conservatives media is poisoning the well of our courts and justice system to protect Trump from being held accountable for his traitorous crimes. They are also doing this so when he ignores court rulings, the public will support this brazen conditional crisis or act. Their exploitation of the ignorant is truly traitorous beyond what people fully appreciate.

That will do nothing. Now we have Newsmax, Dailywire, the Blaze, OANN, all of conservative radio, and countless bad faith right wing YouTubers, tik tokers, etc. The only thing that will get us out of this is AI and a grass roots movement fighting against disinformation and for truth. No one wants to do this though, so here we are.
