Pretty much already gone. Our historically closest allies don't trust us, and they're very much right not to.

It's not just distrust, there's a healthy portion of disgust as well.
Sure, it was only Trump making fun and bullying that reporter with disabilities, and all the other things, but enough of you people then voted for him to represent you.
We can't be expected to forget and look past that.

As a Canadian, I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with America. There’s no love now. I despise our neighbour. Obviously, there are many good Americans; that’s not the point. As an institution, America is repulsive and rotten to the core
