It's hard to say, but we can't expect a major shift overnight, these things takes years, even decades.
The problem is that this could be a long term trend because the real problem with the US isn't just Trump, it's the entire political system is broken, the signs were there way before Trump and the mess is still going to be there well after Trump unless there's a major change from the American people, the media and political system that is polarised in the US, these are not quick fixes and could take years but more likely decades to fix.
At the end of the day, many are getting fed up with this seesaw effect when it comes to politics, some seem to think that once Trump is kicked out, things will return to normal, they might in the short term, but with a powerful right wing media, then a far right Republican Party and many Americans voting for them, the odds are pretty high that another lunatic like Trump will get into power again over the next decade.
So this trend away from the US could be long term because the problem isn't Trump, the real problem is much deeper in the US which is much harder to fix, and let's be honest with ourselves, does anyone think the likes of the EU, China, Canada will just forgive and forget the US after Trump is out of power? I highly doubt they'll be quick to do that, they will hedge their own bets by shifting away from the US on both political and economic matters.
I don't think some people realise how much damage the US has done to its self here, and I've seen enough evidence to see that this isn't short term thinking from many countries around the world, many of which are making big deals that are far longer then 4 years, so yes, I think it's long term thinking when it comes to this trend, and the longer Trump is in the White House, the worse this is likely to get for the US.

Imagine that, you're a business and there's a lunatic in the White House that's playing political games that impact those businesses, what would you do?
Trump with his games is scaring away business from the US and scaring off investment in the US, no corporation wants to deal with instability and rules that keep changing, the US, it's kinda difficult to make long term investment plans into the US when the rules of the game keeps changing every few weeks or months, hence why many are seeking alternative, more stable environments to do business in.
Trump is showing first hand in how he managed to bankrupt so many businesses, now he's trying his ultimate achievement in trying to do the same to the US economy.
But seriously Americans, wake up before that clown does serious damage to the US, which he might of already done and it might be too little too late, but considering we are only 6 or so months in his term, another 3 and half years of this will very likely do serious damage to the US.
