Will the next president of America have to do a world wide apology tour for this administration? Kind of like celebs do when they get their ass in a sling.

  I think that before any apologies can be made, the next president would have to send trump & his entire administration to trial, convict them, and sentence them.

  Also, they would have to work on passing legislation to make sure another trump never happens (remove the loopholes, the excess of power to the executive branch, the corruption in all three branches, citizens united, the heritage foundation).

  …and then do an apology tour. Apologies would mean nothing, if four years later we’re in a position to do the same bullshit again. We need to prove that we can be stable, reliable, and resilient. Make sure our house is in order. THAT’S the apology the world needs to hear.

    The oligarchy will never charge one of their own, I’ve been saying this since before Biden went in and we saw first hand they will do nothing to hold him accountable. This is what happens when they all answer to the same people

  As a Canadian, an "apology tour" would feel like this to me.

  If the next administration wants forgiveness it'll have to show real progress on fixing America's broken system of government and its broken culture. That'll take longer than four years so the next administration should not expect forgiveness. The best it can hope for is to get started on eventual forgiveness.

  In the meantime we need to keep diversifying away from America and building defenses against them because there's no reason to extend the benefit of the doubt. They elected not-Trump after the previous time Trump was elected and where did that lead them? Back to Trump.

  Yes, it’s going to take a generation to undo all the harm this administration has caused.

    The President, the Senate, the Supreme “Court” and a large contingent of their wealthy and elite went apeshit.

    No one will trust the US for at least a lifetime, if they can get their act together before completely self immolating.

  If we elect a non-Trump-aligned president, there really is no point to do an apology tour. Obama did it because we could pass the Bush, fils presidency, as a one-off. But after electing Bush twice and Trump twice the world knows the United States can never be trusted again.

  An apology tour would be nice, but probably not terribly effective. Realistically, it will take at least a decade before the rest of the world will be able to start trusting the US again. We’ll need to see that they’ve learned their lesson and made the necessary changes such that the next few elections result in administrations that are trustworthy, and that they don’t just flip-flop back again after a president or two.

  It’ll take a century to repair the damage that has been done. So begins the American century of shame

  They may talk one thing about unity and fixing stuff, but at their core they condone everything that’s happened

  No, he’ll receive a Nobel Peace Prize for the achievement of being US president while not being Donald Trump.

  Tell me you don’t remember 2009 without telling me you don’t remember 2009.

  Why would they do that? That would be like taking responsibility for a previous administration’s fuckery. The best thing the next president could do would be to do everything they can force Red States to improve their education systems so that the next generation grows up able to think critically and have things like good judgment of character.

  I think he will be preoccupied with the downfall.

    Let’s see.

    1. Economic and strategic oil reserves are declining fast, with seemingly no effort to conserve oil. Thanks to the war with Iran.
    2. The only reason the US is not in a recession yet is because of AI, which is not profitable, and destined to crash.
    3. Other nations are slowly divesting from US treasuries, limiting the financial options.
    4. Infrastructure has been rotting for decades, and it’s starting to break down.
    5. Climate change has started to produce dangerous heat waves and other extreme weather, further straining infrastructure.

    Anyway, that’s what I can think of from the top of my head.
