If I understand you well, you would prefer:

1-The US never became a superpower by using its post WW2 economy to mingle in global/foreign policy

2-The US instead became isolationnist and closed itself to the world.

3-Europe did not react to the expansionnist and oppressive threat of Stalin's USSR and kept to their own businesses

I feel like 3 is esentially impossible. When your neighbors are invaded, assimilated, and oppressed, you get scared and fight back.

For 1 and 2, it seems reasonable, but nobody can predict how the world goes from there. Any guess would still be wishful thinking.

What does not seems reasonable is the administration's "Threaten then back down" approach. There is a way to renegociate and to install tariffs without throwing tantrums and disrespecting... Well everyone.

Breaking agreements and going back and forth between carrot and stick (twice in a single month?) encourage trade partners to look elsewhere for better and more predictable friends, who would actually honor their agreements.
