It took the USA about 80 years to build the soft power that let it influence much of the world. trump is destroying all of that in less than 6 months.
It feels longer than that to me (weren’t people talking about America’s influence when discussing our entry into the world wars?), but you’re absolutely right: it took decades to accrue, and it’ll all be frittered away in weeks.
Of course, Trump’s no stranger to bankruptcy caused by mismanagement.
Its been more than 100 years since they started building the power, but you could argue that it hasn’t grown much over the last 20 or so
