If Trump had died in 2023, the U.S. economy would be marginally better off today—avoiding tariff costs and volatility for a ~0.2–0.5% GDP edge and lower household burdens—while global power would be stronger in influence and alliances (higher approval, fewer strains). Hard-power projection might feel similar or slightly softer.
