Trump has made the US a dark, unpredictable force in world affairs.

We are no longer the "good guys". We have allowed someone unqualified, unstable, and immoral to become the leader of the free world and to behave in an unchecked fashion. There is no end in sight to his bad actions.

We will never again be a country respected the world over. We have a strongman with no moral fiber at the helm of the ship and we act like we are powerless to do anything about it.

We doesn't mean every single one of us - but when the rest of the world looks on I highly doubt they're going to make distinctions between those who voted for Trump and those who did not.

The various attempts to BE “leader of free world” involved lots of injustice in my opinion, from Truman on forward.

Obama took positive steps in a good direction, for instance with multi-lateralism and NOT bombing Syria in 2013. Things will again move in a good direction with the right candidate winning the White House.
