President Donald Trump's ranting during the debate has been a topic of discussion all over the world, and a question that many of the United States' democratic allies — from France to Australia to Japan — have been asking is: what is happening to the U.S.?</span></font></div><p style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>The fact that the United States' image is suffering so badly during the Trump era </b>is the theme of articles for the BBC and Financial Times. While the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2020-54354405" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="

In France, the BBC notes, the debate was described as "chaotic, childish, grueling" by Libération and as a "terrible storm" by Le Monde. France's Le Figaro spoke highly of Trump's Democratic opponent, Joe Biden, saying that the former vice president was able to "put (Trump) on the defensive."</font></p><p style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>In the U.K., The Guardian said of the debate, "The rest of the world — and future historians — will presumably look at it and weep" and argued that Biden was the only one who looked "remotely presidential" on the debate stage. If Trump is reelected in November, according to The Guardian, "This dark, horrifying, unwatchable fever dream will surely be the first line of America's obituary."</b></font></p><p style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Comments in major Italian publications were equally depressing. Il Corriere della Sera described Trump's refusal to condemn white nationalism during the debate as "a message for Black America"— and not a good one. And La Repubblica said of&nbsp;<em>il dibattito</em>, "Never had American politics sunk so low."</font></p><p style=""><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">To hear Trump's supporters at Fox News tell it, the U.S. president is respected and revered all over the democratic world — which is absolute nonsense. Russian President and the Kremlin are hoping for a Trump victory in November, but in most of Europe, the U.S. is widely viewed as a country that is in serious decline.</font></p><p style=""><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style=""><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">In Financial Times, Luce (who is British but not lives in Washington, D.C.) explains, "Some of America's declining reputation can be measured. The&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2020/09/15/us-image-plummets-internationally-as-most-say-country-has-handled-coronavirus-badly/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">Pew Research Center</a><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">&nbsp;recently found that fewer than a third of French and Germans had a favorable view of America. At 41% favorable, Britain's view of the U.S. was a record low. Mr. </span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Trump's impact is even more stark: just 16% of the world trusts America's president to do the right thing — even lower than the 19% who thought that about China's Xi Jinping. Germany's Angela Merkel got a 76% positive rating. The surveys were carried out well before this week's presidential debate."</span></font></p><p style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>Luce laments that "U.S. politics has degenerated into a macabre shadow of its former self," adding that the United States' "democratic brand is in freefall."</b></font></p><p style=""><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">One of the main reasons why the United States' reputation has suffered so badly, Luce notes, is its response to the coronavirus pandemic — which has killed more than 1 million people worldwide, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore</a>, and more than 206,000 people in the U.S. Luce points out that the U.S. has a "<a href="https://voxeu.org/article/us-excess-mortality-rate-covid-19-substantially-worse-europe-s" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">28% higher death rate</a>" than Europe during the pandemic.</font></p><p style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The presidential debate, according to Luce, served as a grim reminder that the U.S. is at risk for a "constitutional crisis." Trump, Luce pointed out, refused to say that he will accept the election results if he loses to Biden.</font></p><p style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">"This week, the world witnessed a new low in America's political culture," Luce explains. "<b>If the country is lucky, it will escape a constitutional crisis in November.</b> Mr. Biden's poll lead has been sufficiently stable to explain why Mr. Trump was even more unpleasant than usual on Tuesday. His intemperate performance may even have cemented his defeat; post-debate polls suggest Mr. Trump's tactics backfired. But his worsening prospects make him even more dangerous."</font></p><p style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Luce also laments that even if Biden wins, the U.S. is "likely to be consumed by divisions for the foreseeable future."</font></p><p style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">According to Luce, "Biden would be more predictable than Mr. Trump, while lacking the means to restore U.S. primacy. Mr. Biden could stop America's internal bleeding. That is ambitious enough. It would be a leap of faith to bet on more than that."</font></p><div><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">

background: none;">Max Weber</a>, a state is defined as maintaining a&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly_on_the_legitimate_use_of_physical_force" class="mw-redirect" title="Monopoly on the legitimate use of physical force" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">monopoly on the legitimate use of physical force</a>&nbsp;within its borders. When this is broken (e.g., through the dominant presence of&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warlord" title="Warlord" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">warlords</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramilitary" title="Paramilitary" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">paramilitary</a>&nbsp;groups, armed&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gang" title="Gang" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">gangs</a>, or&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism" title="Terrorism" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">terrorism</a>), the very existence of the state becomes dubious, and the state becomes a&nbsp;<i>failed state</i>. The difficulty of determining whether a government maintains "a monopoly on the legitimate use of force", which includes the problems of the definition of "legitimate", means it is not clear precisely when a state can be said to have "failed".</font></p><p style="margin: 0.5em 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The problem of legitimacy can be solved by understanding what Weber intended by it. Weber explains that only the state has the means of production necessary for physical violence. This means that the state does not require legitimacy for achieving monopoly on having the means of violence (<i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_facto" title="De facto" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">de facto</a></i>), but will need one if it needs to use it (<i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_jure" title="De jure" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">de jure</a></i>).</font></p><p style="margin: 0.5em 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Typically, the term means that the state has been rendered ineffective and is not able to enforce its laws uniformly or provide basic goods and services to its citizens because of (variously) high crime rates,&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insurgency" title="Insurgency" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">insurgency</a>, extreme&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_corruption" title="Political corruption" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">political corruption</a>, an impenetrable and ineffective bureaucracy, judicial ineffectiveness, military interference in politics, and cultural situations in which traditional leaders wield more power than the state over a certain area. Other factors of perception may be involved. A derived concept of "failed cities" has also been launched, based on the notion that while a state may function in general, polities at the substate level may collapse in terms of infrastructure, economy and social policy. Certain areas or cities may even fall outside state control, becoming a&nbsp;<i>de facto</i>&nbsp;ungoverned part of the state.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference" style="line-height: 1; unicode-bidi: isolate; white-space: nowrap;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failed_state#cite_note-3" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[3]</a></sup></font></p><p style="margin: 0.5em 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">There is no real consensus on the definition of a "failed state"; the subjective nature of indicators that are used to measure state failure have led to an ambiguous understanding of the term.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference" style="line-height: 1; unicode-bidi: isolate; white-space: nowrap;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failed_state#cite_note-4" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[4]</a></sup>&nbsp;Some scholars focus on the capacity and effectiveness of the government to determine if a state is failed or not.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference" style="line-height: 1; unicode-bidi: isolate; white-space: nowrap;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failed_state#cite_note-5" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[5]</a></sup></font></p><p style="margin: 0.5em 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Other indices such as the Fund for Peace's&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragile_States_Index" title="Fragile States Index" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">Fragile States Index</a>&nbsp;underline the democratic character of state institutions in order to determine its level of failure.<sup id="cite_ref-Call_C.T.2010_6-0" class="reference" style="line-height: 1; unicode-bidi: isolate; white-space: nowrap;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failed_state#cite_note-Call_C.T.2010-6" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[6]</a></sup>&nbsp;Finally, other scholars focus their argument on the legitimacy of the state,<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference" style="line-height: 1; unicode-bidi: isolate; white-space: nowrap;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failed_state#cite_note-7" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[7]</a></sup>&nbsp;on the nature of the state,<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference" style="line-height: 1; unicode-bidi: isolate; white-space: nowrap;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failed_state#cite_note-8" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[8]</a></sup>&nbsp;on the growth of criminal violence in a state,<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference" style="line-height: 1; unicode-bidi: isolate; white-space: nowrap;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failed_state#cite_note-9" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[9]</a></sup>&nbsp;on the economic extractive institutions,<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference" style="line-height: 1; unicode-bidi: isolate; white-space: nowrap;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failed_state#cite_note-10" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[10]</a></sup>&nbsp;or on the states’ capacity to control its territory.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference" style="line-height: 1; unicode-bidi: isolate; white-space: nowrap;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failed_state#cite_note-11" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[11]</a></sup>&nbsp;Robert H.
