I have to say I feel sorry for you in the United States. Now that Trump is gone, you can already now see that countries like North Korea, China, Iran will take advantage of you again.
North Korea, China, and Iran have had zero impact on my life as an American. Whatever "advantage" they are taking is of no concern to me. The people taking advantage of ordinary Americans are other Americans.
Yes, if you believe Trump did anything at all against China, NK, Iran, you are sipping on the Kool Aid. Trump gave North Korea concessions and legitimacy by meeting with them, and gained absolutely nothing in return. His China trade war has been absolutely disastrous for our economy, while also receiving nothing of value in return. Meanwhile, Trump does significant business with China, so it's a mystery why Trump supporters believe Biden is the one in cahoots with China.The Iran problem was essentially solved for the time being after Obama, until Trump ripped up the historic peace/arms agreement that more intelligent people worked hard to craft. Trump's leaving a massive disaster in his wake with destroyed international agreements, shunned and backstabbed allies, disastrous tariffs and economic policies, a rampaging pandemic with STILL no national plan, thousands dying daily, increasing unemployment, the biggest deficit in history (and he doubled the deficit long BEFORE COVID), highest debt in history. Trump has been an utter disaster for the USA on all fronts, including harming our democracy and national security.
The funny thing is normally you can say when things like this happen, it's not really the President's fault (such as gas prices increasing, civil wars in other nations, etc.), but most of these failures can directly be tied back to Trump, who went against all the experts. In fact, his entire administration was nothing but him wanting to do absolutely stupid things, and his entire administration, military leaders and others doing their best to convince him not to do that, or delaying the order until he forgot about it. Despite all the massive damage he has done, it could have been much worse. The fact he has any supporters left at all at this point shows we have some massive problems with propaganda masquerading as news in this country.
