You are dreaming. In reality what will happen is that the US will realize that there is no shame in being 2nd place.
American exceptionalism is somthing created by the media, in reality phenomenons such as the shifting of the global powers have been happening since forever and are so enormous that they are like the tectonic plates. They can't be stopped or messed with.
It's not a tragedy either, Europe was #1, then it dropped 2nd place and people there aren't exactly running around like chickens with their head cut off.

The rest of people just live their lives concerned with other and more pressing matters.
