American here. Assuming we muddle through the next 3.5 years (a fairly big assumption, I admit), I think things will get better, but in a qualified way. The tension will dip and you can even make short term changes that will be welcome to everybody like easing border restrictions and increasing communication and cooperation, but it’s going to take literally generations of non-crazy American administrations to rebuild the trust to where it was, and that’s 100% fair.
Large infrastructure projects are going to get delayed or shelved, treaties will not be negotiated, money will be spent on duplicating efforts because the US may be a better or worse partner in future administrations, so we’re no longer a reliable partner in any way. All because half the country thinks you should never have to deal with anything you don’t immediately understand and approve of, and anything that’s mildly unpleasant in your life is the fault of people who don’t look or speak or pray like you.
When the lie is so big that even Bondi won’t tell it, you have to bust out ol Don Junior. What a bunch of assholes.
