As far as power goes, America is as great as they come. What is it right now? Five times the military strength of the next five nations combined?
But I tend to measure the greatness of a society on how it provides for it's citizens. Their access to clean water, medical care, health, overall wellbeing. That's where America isn't that great compared to other nations.
Trump won't change that. Hillary won't change that. Noone will change that, as long as breast pounding and taking money from donors (which Trump is doing too, if you hadn't noticed) is integral part of political campaigns.
What is greatness in a society anyway? My answer is always, how it treats it's weakest members.
