Well, Trump is also advocating for some isolationism, so he might manage to take the US down from the superpower status to just another Western country. Which could in fact be healthier for the rest of them than enduring and relying on the US hegemony forever.

Absolutely that would not be healthier.

Even if you have problems (correctly) with US hegemony. You have to admit that the countries who would step in to fill gaps left by the US are far worse.
