Oh no, no... Trust in America is gone forever, no matter who wins. Because American people have demonstrated (twice) that they can choose someone like Trump as a president. The world won't be waiting anxiously for the next Trump. We'll move on.
What is unique to American people? I easily foresee the next Trump from any country.
Especially if they have the same bad voting system of "pick the lesser evil". Do that enough times and you can get worse than Trump.
What's is unique is the amount of trust granted. That won't happen again.
I wouldn't say forever. But it will take a long time to rebuild.
It'll take decades, if ever. Trust is hard to gain but easy to lose.
