The prospect of a second Trump presidency has the intelligence community on edge
Trump sought major changes at the intel agencies in his first term; former officials say he could be more radical in a second.
Former top officials from Donald Trump’s administration are warning he is likely to use a second term to overhaul the nation’s spy agencies in a way that could lead to an unprecedented level of politicization of intelligence.

The way I see it, if the Americans end up picking a president who ranked among the bottom 5 presidents of all times, it's their own fault for doing so and they should enjoy the consequences of that.
The issue is, that the rest of the World will also "enjoy" the consequences of that, because you can't just ignore 300 Million people...
It's a fair point but I think the world is getting better at and more prepared to do so. The rest of the world can easily ignore 300mil people. We do it with many others. It's the fact that it's the US that makes it harder to ignore. IMO Trump was the trigger that inspired countries ans allies to cut or limit dependencies on single countries like the US, China and Russia.
Only Europe (continental and Australia) effectively did something. For anyone else, it's prettyich business as usual.
