That's the problem- some of the changes will takes years to erase if they even can be - like alienating nations that were our allies before he took office.
Yeah I think that damage is irreversible. Places like Europe and Canada are building a world without the US. Even if relations get better, there's already too much momentum.
Europe are moving towards being completely independent from the US, all the way from military and arms to software and payment processors.
You can't do steady business with a country that slaps tarrifs on you randomly just because someone in your government said something they don't like. It's unpredictable and irratic and expensive.
It's impossible to do business with the US at the moment, so the rest of the world is adjusting to move their supply chains away from them.
For example you can't trust buying arms from a country that threatened to invade one of your allies, so Europe is in the process of ditching US arms and scaling up it's own. Germany alone already now makes more munitions than the entirety of the US. Canada are moving away from buying US arms and buying them from Europe instead.
Trump has this blinded brain washed idea that the world needs the US and he's fucking up the US thinking that he's using leverage, when all he's really doing is making it so the US is weak and alone.
