As a non-US citizen watching this from the outside, I'm divided between my relief at American's not having to endure Trump's stupidity for another 4 years, and some trepidation for world citizens on what a competent/active US president will do w.r.t. foreign policy & proxy wars.

The perception is that Trump was too dump to start new wars and wasn't subtle - so you could at least know what he's thinking w.r.t. your (non-American) interests. On the other hand, most American presidents are nice & courteous at face value while raining drone bombs on unsuspecting non-Americans, spreading Freedom (with a capital F).

As a non-American, I would rather Americans endure a bit longer and the remaining (7B-0.3B) world citizens have 4 more years of (relative) US non-involvement. Selfish, I know, but the world needs a breather.
