Not a goddamn thing.We literally a trap house for countries to either send their dope pushers or kiss the ring and setup shop. The moment Trump 2.0 came through with the gold cards, while China making dope moves...its like this part of There Will Be Blood:
BTW Xi is DDL

We have 3 and a half years of Trump left. We have no idea what state America is going to be in once it's all said and done. Our standing in the world is completely cooked because to say nothing of Trump, other countries are going to look at the electorate funny for being so amenable to corporo-facism.

Some of y'all are either cacs who live in a bubble, seeing things from a rose-tinted lens, or just Black people not in tune with reality...
America has never had a good reputation, to begin with, ever since the 70s after the Civil Rights Bill passage, the United States (cacs in particular) has been fighting hard to rebuild or fabricate an image of being for justice, liberty, freedom, peace, etc.
For example, the Soviet Union once called out the US for being phony and hypocritical, “And you are lynching Negroes” which was to point out how America's self-righteousness and morals are skewed yet have the nerve to criticize other countries, as it relates to human rights.
This so-called good or righteous reputation that OP and others are talking about has always been a farce, teetering in the middle, basically a gimmick to convince the rest of the world that America stands for all the supposed good things.
As Malcolm said himself; “chickens coming home to roost”.

Life is absurd. Lean into it.
Oh, that's the other side of the coin. I don't think he wants to.
Politics fukked up his marriage, he started looking old fast as shyt, and his opposition may actually try to do something to him. It's one thing to stand up when your country needs you, but when you don't feel like you have the support of most of the country, that's another. I don't think I'd put my life and livelihood on the line.
I don't know if he can fix it, because I think what's been done is borderline irreparable. For what it's worth, maybe we move into the actual vision he had in "Audacity of Hope", because if we any semblance of a democracy going forward, corporations are to have to sit in the backseat.

Ok and I agree with what you’re saying. But let’s not act like people around the world don’t look at America as an opportunity. The American Dream concept didn’t come out of nowhere. Trump looks like he’s put that in the grave.
Let’s not get it twisted Obama would have a tremendous amount of support. But judging from the interview from Hamilton he seemed salty and disgusted that people would vote for Trump again and pretty much was like yall can have it energy.

Cell connection in my building sucks, I edited my post after you quoted me.

But he "should" have more people this time.

I totally agree
Even tho it’s only 4 months in when trump finally leaves (if he does)
The damage will be crazy then you will have both sides screaming “why it’s taking so long”
I would not wish that on my worst enemy
Look at it this way they always want a lame duck coach to fix a fukked up team
Then when it’s riding well here come a yt
to take the glory
Trumps got to go down hard

Like I said you can say what you want but people of the world wanted the oppurtunity. America is a country of immigrants more so than any country in the world. Even though people knew America has always been on the bullshyt there was still a respect level from a good chunk of countries in the world. But Now? A lot of countries now looking at America as ignorant, and dumb which is due to Trump. The world are looking at the leader as a representation of the people. Which is further from the truth.
