Real question for the non-Americans of Era: How badly has Trump maligned your view of the US? Is it irreparable?

I'd say it's done some lasting damage to my view of the US. If it were even possible to ignore all of the crazy shit Trump said during the election campaign, I am stunned that he still enjoys support from a significant portion of the population.
There is obviously an ongoing issue with media and propaganda, but ultimately I can't help but feel that a combination of hateful ideologies and poor education standards are responsible for alot of this.
More importantly I feel like I'm watching the downfall of Rome in slow motion. I have no idea how this gets better before it gets worse. When you can't even get 40% of the population to trust major media networks, journalists and fact reporting - I am not even sure it's possible to address the problem at scale.
