My rational side wants to see Harris win, but the anarchist in me wants to see Trump win, just to see what would happen. Not living in the US, obviously.

Trump winning could be a disaster for the whole world since US is such a major player in basically everything, but my anarchist side does not listen.

Would U.S.A. foreign policy be drastically affected by who becomes the president?
As a non-American, I think it'd have more impact on the people of the U.S.A and maybe immediate neighbours like Mexico.

I don’t know, to quote someone I read here: “The world shits when the US farts”

US electing an authoritarian might encourage authoritarians all around the world (even more)

That maybe a consequence but US foreign policy might improve or remain unchanged under Trump.
