Trump has announced that America will withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord on the environment.
Germany has stated within the last 48 hours that they do not need any intelligence assistance from America, in regards to their upcoming elections. America is no longer a reliable partner.
America is becoming a pariah. With that title, it will not be easy to exert influence anywhere in the world. We have lost respect around the world.
Our allies see a decadent and toothless democracy that no longer works. The Senate and Congress have become subservient to a dangerous narcissist that does not listen to anyone.
The country is in danger of slipping into a Third World status. The withdrawal from consensus with our allies, such as the Climate Accord, will only quicken the process.

What could possibly go wrong?
The US is currently losing all of its soft power, but there is still a lot of military power. Which is frightening for anyone outside the US. Right now it is unthinkable, but who knows? Maybe in 3 years Trump asks Merkel to pay what she allegedly owes NATO or expect some Tomahawks in some German backyards.
