Trump ruined America's reputation forever imho.
He keeps changing his mind every day and keeps talking bullshit. At this point the trashy drug dealer trying to sell to school kids is more reputable than the USA

Americans can't understand this because Americans hate being embarrassed by their states' misdeeds, but its very real. The rest of the world sees the crimes, even if American's are too cowardly to also do so ..
Don't get me wrong - I've long shared your condemnations, even as an American! Although for us who acknowledge them, I wouldn't say it's "too cowardly" - rather we're quite disenfranchised and the cognitive dissonance tendency is for Americans to see the government as something apart from themselves. So it's more like that I can't practically do much about these criminals acting in my name.
But I mean, the global community basically gave a Nobel Peace Prize to Obama for not being Bush. I'd say the relationships got patched up pretty quickly there. Global domestic surveillance? So nice for the US to take the heat for FVEY et al.
If anything starting a war in Iran is back to business as usual, with (the leadership of) most countries seemingly giving a tacit green light.
And, more to the point - both Ukraine and Iran demonstrate that the USA isn't really that concerned with human rights.
But that Nobel prize came from "the rest of the world" ? It seems that you're conflating other countries' governments/elites, and grassroots.
