Honestly I feel like the U.S. being a bit more isolationist is something most Americans (and a lot of other countries) would be ok with.

America doesn't need to be the world police anymore, it needs to handle its own obvious internal issues and let NATO/UN have bigger teeth for a few decades. Maybe divert some of the the military budget to schools and healthcare or something.

edit: for clarity

Will they really be more isolationist?

The current President of Brazil (Lula) was intentionally delayed the ability to run as president against the far-right Bolsonaro, with the help of the CIA under Trump's years.[1] Another Coup attempt in 2020 partly by Silvercorp USA, which just happened to provide security for Trump a few years earlier while Trump put a $15 million bounty on the person (Maduro) who was targeted by the Coup.[2]

I'm not so sure we'll see less political interference in the rest world the world.

No of course not but the American public, and most of the the world would probably be ok with America not swinging its dick around.

To be clear backing coups is the kind of thing America shouldn't be doing when I say "more isolationist."
