The damage is far from minimal and some of it will take a long time to heal.
If ever.

The world giving Trump illegal bribes is part of what I am talking about.

A country which demands illegal and unethical bribes to do business is not a stable
trustworthy business partner.

Damage to our allies and friends, economic partnerships, long term agreements are serious.

The world knows the US has been taken over by a mob boss.
They must play ball to survive. This is not trust or respect.
This is short term survival.
And it will not endure, they will look for another economic options in the long run.
