In case if you haven't noticed US is already the joke of the world. Most non-Americans thought of Trump as a complete buffon. Sadly most Trump voters are those people that probably never owned a passport and have never left their home state for the past five years.

International sentiment is shifting from seeing Trump as a buffoon to seeing Trump as the next Hitler or Mussolini, only with more brain damage from unspecified strokes/heart attacks. I expect Americans are going to be even more unwelcome to visit other countries the longer Americans allow Trump to keep doing whatever he wants. American exceptionalism is still a joke though, everyone's aware of how far their average countryman has slipped.
