I don’t think the U.S. is able to produce a statesmen as president at this late stage of its decline (or ever). Its political system can only produce self interested, egotistical and power hungry individuals that further its agenda of superiority and hegemony (that’s about the summation of its ‘strategic interests’, i.e. superiority and hegemony at all costs). Not Trump nor anyone can remedy this as it’s baked into the American psyche. It will have to self destruct and see what emerges from its ashes..
