> Learn from mistakes and move on.

Learning from mistakes requires acknowledging that mistakes occurred. Trump is notoriously averse to acknowledging his mistakes.

From an international perspective one hard lesson learned here is that no contract with the USofA can be relied upon for at least four years, there's no promise Trump can make with respect to stability and reliability that anybody would trust.

Some would say further than 4 yrs. Enough of the voters and Congress have demonstrated that they are tolerant of this mode of leadership behaviour - internationally trust has disappeared for a generation.
