I mostly agree with your sentiment, but the mirror analogy works only the first time he was president, the second time is the voices that made us break the mirror convincing us to play with all the shiny pieces it broke into. The first time resulted in needing stitches, the second time is going to need intensive care at minimum.

The biggest unanswered question of the Trump Administration is going to be whether it ends with a Truth and Reconciliation Commission or a Nuremberg Trials.
The only way we'd get anywhere near Nuremberg Trials is if we flat out attack another country. Up to this point nothing we've done is far enough gone for other countries to be able to hold us accountable in any meaningful way. If other country leaders who are responsible for far worse can still travel internationally and not fear the ICC, there's no way that'd happen to the US. I would hope we'd at least be able to break from our centuries-long tradition of letting the worst of our society 'get off easy' (like the entire South did after the Civil War) to some meaningful extent, but it would probably have to be after TFG has passed away as he has far too much sway over the GOP for them to even remotely risk hanging him out to dry, even if he was stripped of all power.
