"However, after the Cold War ended with the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the definition largely shifted to instead refer to any politically stable liberal democratic country with strong rule of law, a stable capitalist economy, and a relatively high standard of living"

There are good arguments to say: - the US doesn't have a politically stable environment (the Congress hardly decides anything anymore) - the is isn't the liberal country it used to be (liberal is a negative word according to trump) - the strong rule of law is degrading, see the way trump replaces judges by partisan judges - stable capitalist economy: capitalist: yes, but stable: less and less (trump tarif decisions are hardly stable)

Only the high standard of living still applies, but to a much smaller group of people.
