no doubt the neocons will be out celebrating tonight.
Here's what good Trump did foreign policy wise in his term:
no new wars
destroyed ISIS
no regime change in Syria
peace deal and Afghanistan pullout
peace deal between Kosovo and Serbia
peace deal between Israelis and Arabs
initiated dialogue with the DPRK
not bad, not bad at all.
Here's some other things he did, which Americans have differences on:
Moved their embassy to Jerusalem (something which every President since Bush Sr, and maybe earlier ones as well are on record as having promised but always backed down)
Actually built that wall and cracked down on illegal immigration.
Renegotiated trade deals with China and south Korea
Got rid of and replaced NAFTA
Pulled out/killed the TPP
Pulled out of the Paris climate accord
Pulled out of the Iran deal
Sent offensive weapons to Ukraine to deal with Russia and the Donbass situation.
Got NATO allies to cough up more money and filled their coffers
Reversed Obama's sequestration of and invested heavily in the US military, to the tune of 2.5 trillion odd ?
Appointed 3 justices to the US supreme court
Say what you want, but he sure turned out to be a man of his word who kept his campaign promises.
The bad ?
The bombast and bluster, his abrasive personality, the constant tweeting, not being politically correct.
Also got treated very unfairly by the press who had been out to hang him every single day since before he even assumed office. Virtually no coverage of the peace deals or his multiple nominations for the Nobel or praise for the economy which was doing really well before the pandemic hit.
Biden's also a one termer, he will not contest the next one by which time he will be 82 years of age. There also wasn't much substance in his manifesto other than promising a return to some Obama policies and a few scattered platitudes on racial equality.. threw a few breadcrumbs to the left wing and conned Bernie into supporting him.
The best the world can expect from him that it'll be an uneventful Presidency, he sure doesn't seem to have any big ideas for the world going forward.
