Summarized at electoral-vote.com

In short, Trump will leave office with only a very few concrete accomplishments that will survive more than a few months. Meanwhile, he (and Bolton, and Mike Pompeo, and Jared Kushner) utterly failed in terms of changing the underlying philosophy of U.S. foreign relations; the nation will soon resume its regular place on the world stage, while its main partners—the UK, Japan, France, Germany, etc.—largely see Trumpism as nothing more than a blip on the radar, and are eager to return to the way things were before he took office.
