Dump is beyond dangerous. He's pissing off allies and potential allies while supporting and praising dictators and despots.

completely wrecking the reputation/image of the US and it well might not be that easy to recover. I read recently even distinguished CEOs, both R&D, think he is a complete loser. Trump, is a global disaster.
