Now I can see us being cut off from the rest of the world. Likewise, if the midterm elections show a dramatic swing of the pendulum in the other direction I could see us also becoming a place where people can flee to.
Possibly Revelation speaks of Europe and the US collectively, "the West". I think US is still more powerful in every way to China, Europe, anyone and will be for a very long time still and whether the President is good or bad doesn't matter so much. People are still going to do business with the most powerful country. If Trump was the president of a small country however then what comes out of his mouth could make or break their whole economy, but not with the US I don't think. There is still no other country better than the US, it's always number 1 in my view.
