Looking at Trumps upcomming cabinet I am both in horror and anticipation for what is going to happen. We'll either see a slow decline of US power, a world war or just nothing great will happen at all.

A slow decline of US power would be a good thing for the world lmao. It's a funny thing from the US "left" how supremacist they really are.

I remind my panicking liberal friends that the US only became a "Superpower" within the past 100 years.

So many countries have caught up.

Im curious why people think this might harm US power and what that would look like

Once trump gets in office, no one will ever be able to remember any of this because the shit will be a full never ending flow into a turbine

Yep. There's literally a massive laundry list of BS trump did in 2016.

Biden honestly can do whatever the hell he wants because it'll be completely buried in three months.

Not only that, he's never running again, he has literally nothing to lose, and doing this isn't going to affect votes/popularity of whoever runs next.

99% of people in his position would do the same.

Causality is a bit more complicated than that unfortunately for him.
