I don't think that at this point the American public opinion of what is going on, really matters, besides internal politics within the USA. From the outside, it's a much larger problem than Trump, the current administration or even the American democracy. It's a sudden and unexpected loss of trust from an ally that used to be more or less confident.The risk of this happening again, in any way possible and impossible, has lowered its trustworthiness and it will take many generations of active work to change this
For the rest of the world, Trump is the representative of USA. That's how democracy works. I am sad to say that this won't be over when Trumps steps down, however and whenever he goes down. The USA has lost street credit for many generations to come and it won't be easy to fix

I haven't used Reddit for years but I could see what you mean from Lemmy too. I just hadn't noticed such a specific targeting of limitations in rules before.

Although last time they covered it up and caused many workers to die later on due to nuclear exposure
