    Just start treating people with kindness and respect and show that your word is your bond. That’s it. The rest takes time, like any healing does.

    put current administartion in jail to a man, abolish both parties, start extensive campaign rooting out the corruption and influence of the rich from your country. 2/3 of those at least.

    Honestly, don’t even mention the last president publicly. Act like he never existed. Investigate him surely. Reverse any and all of his policies. But just don’t acknowledge him at all.

    To gain back Americans’ trust? Almost nothing.

    To gain back other countries’ trust? Quite a lot.

    To actually be a good president and make the country a reasonably decent place to live? Not realistic for one presidency.

    As a unitedstatesian: I genuinely do not believe the trust we’ve squandered with parts of the world that (previously) didn’t mind us / considered us allies is going to be recovered in my lifetime. Our idiocy has put far too many things in motion that are going to have irrevocable consequences for the very long term. For instance: just today, the US is apparently considering suspending Spain for disrupting operation Epstein Fury, despite the fact that there is absolutely no mechanism within the NATO charter to unilaterally do that to Spain.

    That would be a good start. Continue with fixing your country, and be nice to those outside your borders. Even the US cannot survive on its own.

    Restore the rule of law, and make sure traitors like Trump end up behind bars. No mercy for those who had no mercy with others.

    The only realistic way of the US getting back the trust of major countries is for those countries to go through the same shit and sync to the same level as the US has.

    Act normal for 20-30 years. Other countries are not going to revert their investments and turn on their new allies immediately after Americans elect someone normal. It took a long time (way too long) for them to realize US is not their ally anymore and it will take a lot of time to convince them otherwise now.

    • New Nuremberg trials for all in, and allies propping up, the former regime

    • Transparent audit of everything trump broke and real-time checklist of process to restore critical needs, prioritizing human lives.

    • A lasting and appropriate punishment for trump himself

    • Recovering the funds to do all of the above from trump and complicit billionaires in the private sector - starting with musk for his own crimes against humanity.

    • A job corp to employ all of the AI layoffs, similar to the New Deal’s Civilian Conservation Corps. Needs a healthy vetting to avoid left over trump chuds

    • Expand the Supreme Court

    • End Citizens United

    • All trump appointees, in all positions, are removed from offices immediately. If not convicted in new Nuremberg trials, they can still reapply for positions and be consists as any other

    • The demolished east wing will be rebuilt as a simple building and used as a museum to the attrocities that trump committed and the people and institutions that enabled him. An artist will be commissioned to design a pitch black facade, perhaps in the shape of the old building. It should look out of place and awkward, and stand forever as a sort of black eye on America. To show how the nation was injured and not cover it up. There will be legislation to perpetually fund the museum and make admission free to all.

    The future will require a simple understanding - there was not an equivalency here, no two valid sides. The was objective wrong and right. No more pretending

      Trump-appointed Supreme Court judges can be removed by a single person. They need to be at the right place at the right time and have a good kit and aim. While this could physically undo the appointments, it would decrease the trust in the country’s safety, as all assasinations do.

        Considering we have concentration camps and death squad paramilitary police forces that have on record conducted what are effectively summary executions… decreasing trust in the country’s safety would simply be a course correction of public perception.

    US has always acted like a villain. CIA overthrowing governments, NSA spying on EU companies/politicians with US admitting they did for “US interests” (maximizing US companies’ profits by cheating the rest of us); arming terrorist groups and just causing chaos around the world or if self-interest while we have to pretend we’re OK with it or they will cut of trade. They are the only western country that uses torture as official policy, doesn’t think food and shelter are you human rights etc etc.

    And people mostly don’t care or forget very quickly. Next time elect someone who can speak full sentences and is not so blatantly corrupt, show some goodwill, and people will forget within months.

      Good or evil in this case doesnt really matter. The key was consistency. America had been a world stabilizer for almost 100 years(even if the world stabilization was achived by destabilizing other nations). The world relied on that concept for global trade and the markets that brought with it.

      That illusion is now shattered. The world knows its always a 4 year election cycle away from complete chaos. The trust to be earned back will take as long as it takes for humanity to forget. And it would also require us to be stable for that ammount of time. This means a minimum of the lifetimes of the people currently alive and possibly never.

      But i am betting it never recovers to the same degree. America isnt the same power today as it was when it gained its place in the world. And China / europe are more powerful now than they were in the 50’s. We are no longer a world leader in education, manufacturing etc. Its possible we could speed up the recovery with some political changes to the system, but i dont have much hope for it. It would require the people in power doing things agaisnt their own interests.

    Even if a completely sane, smart, and wonderful president were elected, and every country loved them, why would they trust us? We are always one crazy election away from… well, this.

    Start by IMPRISONING those that let this happen. Every single complicit PoS politician who willingly went along with the Pedo Party in order to make money. Disgusting vile filth deserve to be on prison for the rest of their lives.

    All of them jailed and all of their ill-gotten gains taken from them.

    Arrest every single notable trump cabinet member and media dicksuck. Then investigate everything trump touched and prosecute it all. Investigate all the tech companies. I would need to see multiple CEO level people being put in a jail cell to even begin to regain some trust. They need to regulate their fucking monopolies and enforce some anti trust and clean up their broadcast regulation. It cannot be the case that these people can go online and spread the most insane lies over and over without punishment.

    Clarify their position on the world stage and if Trumps actions were contrary to that then they need to diplomatically bridge that gap. Rejoin the climate accords, rejoin nato and apologize to the world.

    Then I would be open to eventually re trusting them.
