There are times I don't always agree or understand the moves Trump makes and when it comes to foreign policy, I often think that he and others in the Republican party are very isolationist and short sighted. That being said, when it comes to the idea of extracting concessions from Ukraine to make a deal in order for the US to obtain precious metals in exchange for the money that's been given, that is something that helps America and secures those metals. What has he done in the last three weeks that has not helped the US? Some of his decisions have not played out yet so it is hard to gauge their outcome as of right now.
What dictators has he bowed to and in what way?
So Russia invades Ukraine and the only way for them to fight back is to be bent over a barrel by their "allies"? Remember he was blackmailing Ukraine for dirt on Biden last time before the invasion happened. By all means if the USA wants to become isolated again then they can but Trump isn't looking to become isolated, he's following one of the most confrontational US foreign policies in history.
What has he done that hasn't helped the USA? Are you serious? Let's see:
- Turning every non-Israeli ally against them
- Initiated a trade war with the entire world
- Broken the law multiple times
- Installed another power-crazed megalomaniac illegally into a position where they are just sabotaging all aspects of the federal government
- Introduced mass instability with his bull in a china shop illegal acts
- Caused mass resignations
- Emptied the water reserves in California that were intended to irrigate farmland during the summer whilst doing nothing to prevent the fires. Also using the entire disaster to attack political opponents rather than trying to unite the country
- Mucked about with funding for a whole load of important services that people rely on and essentially threatened to simply not keep these services running
- Dismantled foreign aid. Contrary to far right beliefs, most aid is distributed because it's believed to prevent even more costly issues later on and is a tiny fraction of the total US budget.
- Dismantled research grants
- Dismantled all watchdog agencies intended to oversee and audit federal departments to prevent impropriety
- Given a completely unvetted individual access to everyones personal information and locked important civil servants out of the systems
- In the process of removing agencies that were investigating Musk and his companies for illegality or impropriety
- Undercut the agency responsible for airline safety, forced out the head of the agency and seen 2 mis-air collisions (the first in decades)
- Used said tragedies he likely played a role in to again divide the nation and attack political opponents
- Arbitrarily called for a new network to lose a broadcast license because he doesn't like them, flying in the face of the 1st amendment among other things
- Sabotaged any hope of a 2 state solution and called for ethnic cleansing of Gaza, destroying any credibility the US has as protectors of human rights
- Freed thousands of Jan 6th criminals simply because they support him
- Installed oligarchs into all positions of power
- Threatened to withold aid to states that don't support him
- Made it illegal to have any sort of DEI policies and forcing people out of work who had any DEI training, despite his last administration continuing DEI training and many of those being forced out got said training during his last term.
That's not even exhaustive and in only 3 weeks and you seriously sit there and ask wtf he has done to not help the USA? I cannot for a second believe you are discussing in good faith if you ask such a bullshit question.
What dictators has be bowed to? Well let's see, Putin by ceding any pretence that he's going to front up to him? Kim Jong Un he has praised. Name a single world leader Trump has praised of his own free will that isn't a dictator or criminal.
