I think you vastly overestimate the imporance of the US. And yes recently, with Trump the US is turning in on itself to become more like Russia. It breaks with allies, alienates trading partners and isolates and inpoverishes its own population. Its position as a hegemon is crumbling to dust rapidly.
The US is still the hegemon, and unlike Russia it doesn’t have a developed industrial base, Russia does relatively fine just trading with its own trading partners, but the US is decaying rapidly as a consequence of the failings of imperialism. The EU isn’t far behind the US either in a race to crumbling.
