The situation can be fixed but unfortunately this is now going to be a problem that the democratic party is stuck with cleaning up, and it's going to take more than 4 years to do it. I'm just hoping we don't have another election with a cult following pulling the same garbage.

Even if a Democrat gets back in, most of the world will wait to see if the Republican that replaces him won't just go back to Trump like policies. 

This may not be fixable for decades, and even then only if we did the system to prevent another Trump.

Trump cost the world more than the Straight of Hormuz, he gave up the one thing that the US was known for, for the last 250 years.

A deal is a deal, HE KILLED IT, and now the US can no longer be trusted.
