But what country has benefitted from the U.S. being destabilized by Trump’s presidency?
That’s why it feels like all of this is Russia as they seem disconnected enough that they don’t care.

Worded like that, yes.
But purely anecdotally, having had the chance to visit 35 countries, and having talked to a lot of people about world issues, I've seen nothing but good will and friendliness towards the American people for the most part. In fact, I very regularly get words of encouragement from regular folks in other countries who feel pity for us and wish we'd be "back to normal" (not debating the merits of that statement here).
It's hard to overstate how deeply influential and strong is American culture in other countries, and the sense of friendship that that has forged over decades, even if it's not always reciprocated.
Literally any country that stands to lose if the US has more time to look externally. Look at every issue we are involved in. Everyone on side of an issue that we're on the other side of stands to benefit if we spend more time on internal issues. Of course you have Russia, China, Iran, etc. but there's tons of countries who have neighbors they don't like who we are helping who would rather we not. They're all gonna buy a few hundred Facebook ads or whatever.
