Yes, a controlled dismantlement would be better than collapse, and proletarian revolution would be best, but currently there’s not much prospects for either of those, so:
“There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.”

He can, in fact, make a lot of stuff worse. And I promise you, he will if he gets the chance.
He could also destroy the US, which would be a dramatic improvement for the rest of the world.
In some ways, maybe. But I think a destruction of the US would also cause a lot of problems.

Can’t make an omelette without breaking a few eggs!
Tell that to the power vacuum left behind after…
That’s called multipolarity.
Is what people say, until they are the egg that is to be broken.
I’m trans in a red state. I am not safe.
I just recognize that the US is a blight and must be destroyed, and that one candidate is more likely to result in the US’s defeat.
That’s more of a silver lining, though.
I sincerely hope for you, that the candidate thats worse for the us wont win.
And i continue to hope youll be safe someday.
I hope you have a gun.
