Even when Trump goes, be it thanks to ballot, 25th amendment, blood clot, stray bullet, abduction by aliens, the fact that the US Constitution and system has allowed someone so stark raving bonkers to trash pretty much everything that made the US successful, and threaten world trade and peace, isn't going to suddenly disappear overnight as a worry. OK, so we might get an incompetent corporate Democrat in his place for four years, but what happens when Barron Trump is crowned as Republican presidential candidate for the 2032 election?
Who's going to trust the US again not to repeat this? Multiply by 1000 the EU's probable insistence on exit penalties for the UK should we sign up to any minor agreements to ease trade between the UK and the EU, and that would be a mighty barrier to the US regaining what it's losing now. Once the trust is gone, it's not easily re-established, and signatories are going to be looking for hard guarantees. The famed 'checks and balances' have utterly failed, and unless that's addressed, the US will have to be treated like any rogue state.
