The US isn't self destructing. Trump isn't the US, and he is now a lame duck, his run is over. Trump is arguably the least popular President in US history right now. MAGA is destroyed (an aimless, disillusioned faction of one party), and the Republican Party is in shambles. His tariffs will be dismantled, his atrocious behavior will not continue to the next President. Yes, the US will have suffered the reputation damage and that will take a lot of time to try to rehabilitate.
The US is more powerful in relation to the rest of the globe than it has been at any other point since the late 1990s. In terms of foes China is the new USSR for the US, a gigantic adversary that is considered at every move. China is spurring the US into a more competitive mode, which is ideal for not becoming fully lethargic.
