We are significantly worse off from an international perspective than we were before Trump was President. Both in terms of foreign relations/our power on the world stage, and also economically (e.g., China etc.).

How has he lessened our power on the world stage? He basically took a hard line fuck you position on nations who can't play ball with regard to human rights and our domestic stability. China is one of the most egregious human rights violators on the planet at this moment. Why make nice with them? Iran has sworn on a stack of qurans that they don't want to make a bomb while violating almost every single condition of the last twenty years of nuclear agreements. In the mid 2000's we literally agreed to build the reactors for them provided they wouldn't do x y and z, and they did all of those things. Why would you give them even more if you actually care about the interests of your country?
