Trump re-entering the WH would be the worst thing that could possibly happen to humanity aside from maybe nuclear armageddon. There's literally nothing worse that could happen.

That's sort of what I mean. The US will continue to spend on the wrong things (see: Military) in an attempt to retain their spot on top of the world which will prove to ultimately be unsuccessful. Their approach to the rest of the world has been the wrong approach for a long time now - our way or the highway, rules-based law (i.e. things that benefit the US and only the US) instead of international law and their approach to their own country/people has been equally bad - massive funding to their military, not nearly enough to their people in the way of infrastructure, education, welfare, health care. So when I say, "continue their move out of relevancy", I mean, that they've already started to shift out of relevancy on the world stage (except militarily), as countries are moving away from building strong ties with them and rather, maintaining ties as best they can without being targeted by them. They're finding other countries to deal with and other currencies to deal in, for fear that if they ever get on their "bad side", all their assets and money will be frozen and then literally stolen. The bullying is not working anymore and the world is changing.
I'm actually not as concerned as you are about Trump though and definitely don't see such extreme outcomes. I mean, it won't be a good thing, I agree. But it's not the 2nd worst thing that could happen to humanity. We've seen Trump in office before once already.
