Your two parties are so fundamentally opposed that there's a good chance everything president of party A does is torn up by the follower of party B.

That's a bit simplified. I'm not saying I disagree, but the deciding factor is the majority party in Congress. If it's the same as the president, then, yes, that president will pretty much get his way. But, yes our 2 political parties seem to be getting farther apart ideologically and if you don't like president A, wait 4-8 years for president B.

We'd probably be more willing to trust a democrat president, but that doesn't mean we'd trust the presidency or the US as a whole. And why should we, really.

No, you only think the Republican party is the problem because your ideology aligns more with the Democrats. BOTH parties are part of the problem. Trump may be the least diplomatic president we've ever had, that doesn't mean that all Republican presidents have and/or will be horrible diplomats.
