    it’s time for the Democratic version of America First, where we spend our money at home, on our people. When we’re strong and healthy, we can go out and fix the world. But right now, we need to concentrate on our own problems.

      no thanks, retreat to within your own borders and maybe cooperate with other countries without trying to be “the world police”

      I guess the next 1-3 decades will bring a lot of change especially to the USA. What made the U.S. so strong is that everyone in the world used their systems, e.g. communication, payment system, currency, military/weapons, alliances, etc. But I think no-one really wants to continue using it. Of course this is easier said than done. But nevertheless countries will try and succeed at least to a degree to use non-usa systems.

      Nevertheless USA is an impressive powerhouse, but part of that power comes from the whole world relying on U.S. systems. Which will change for sure.

        Trump has never understood soft power and has ruined US soft power in nearly all aspects.
