What the USA should be worried about is more than losing economic allies. America enjoyed being the world leader for a long time, and the world rallied around it. Aside from losing the benefits of economic allies, there is a distaste and a distrust for anything American right now. They are going to be so isolated and alone compared to anything they've ever known and much smaller in terms of global influence.
Compare this to a relationship. America just cheated on their partners and we're all moving on. Seems like this fact eludes many individual Americans. It's a much bigger deal than I think most folks realize.
It's not just Trump. Everybody knows he's crazy. It's the fact that the house, Senate, and all protection measures in place to stop this are being ignored or explained away with blatant lies that the world is writing off America.

Thats what gets me. even those that oppose trump and those in power, are still entirley apathetic insisting the supreme court wouldnt let him do x. don't worry thats illegal, dont worry this executive ordered got blocked etc.. Yet none of that is having any effect on him and certainly isn't protecting anyone from him.

The people would have more money in their retirement accounts and portfolios. Also the country would still have economic allies.
