It all makes sense…IF Trump is secretly working for Putin. Think about it, given what we know about the Donald don’t you think that Putin has more than enough Kompromat on him?

What is the path to reconstruction, when Trump finally dies or leaves office? How does the U.S. under new leadership regain its position as the world's leading economy, and as the anchor of the global geopolitical system?

Is it possible for the Democrats to get the average voter - in particular, the marginal and 'independent' Trump voters - to see what's happening here? Get them to see how, in the rhetorical name of 'American greatness' and 'Bring it home', we are ... (Sorry, Trump is, in our name as the American people who voted for him) ... destroying the very basis for actual American greatness?

Once you lose trust and piss away your international credibility, it's really hard to just say "We're better now, we won't be lying any more, we won't see all foreign relations as Heads we win, Tails you lose any more."
Why would Europe, China, South Asia, Africa, Latin America believe such assurances, having witnessed and suffered from the Trump administration's shattering of those ideals, promises, and even treaties?

To repeat a phrase: Gah. This is awful, like a nightmare you can't wake up from.
