Slowly but surely, we'll build back America's bonds with the rest of the world that COVID Donnie tried to break. Maybe some bonds are too weakened to survive the fraught experience of America electing someone like COVID Donnie, but let's all hope this is the start of turning the tide against right- wing authoritarianism and nationalism across the globe.
