Nations need to be on guard against another Trump
Much is riding on the cracks appearing in the pillars of US democracy. Autocratic regimes, such as China and Russia, emboldened by the US failures, may attempt to exert greater power and influence to fill the spaces left by those cracks. This will hasten the demise of the US as a beacon of democracy and a powerful counterbalance to those regimes. The predicament of the US, in turn, may become the blueprint on which other democracies begin an unstoppable decline. This will be the disastrous long-term legacy of Donald Trump.
