The unfortunate reality is that for 80 years, the country's #1 export was "trust".
The world trusted us. They trusted our legal system, our financial system, the peaceful transition of power...all that.
Trump and MAGA have turned that on it's head and most of the time...when people trust you and you f'ck 'em...they never trust you again.
