The likes of Trump shows that America might be losing grip on it's position as a world leader. It won't though, if not only for the ridiculous military budget. But economically that place is increasingly moving towards Asia (particularly China). To remain at the top though, you need to have a stable political system. It doesn't even need to be democratic, but a coup (or civil war even) is definitely not a stable situation. So, Trump is definitely not "making America great again". It takes a lot to be actually thrown from the top, but other nations are slowly losing bits of respect or regard for America. Especially during the previous Trump term.
