To someone neutral (yeah, humor me), the Trump administration has done far more to demolish the reputation of the US than any other administration in my lifetime (OK, maybe Nixon - I don't remember all that much about him firsthand).
But I would also say that Biden, while not as bad as Trump, was worse than anybody since Nixon.
- jjtwixman 7mo agoI love fake and nonsensical “neutrality”.
- myvoiceismypass 7mo agoWhich of Biden's policies and actions did you find worse than any since Nixon? And where do you rank the Iraq debacle that Bush started? How about selling arms to Iran to fund the Contras in Nicaragua?
- AnimalMuppet 7mo agoRemember what we're talking about. It's not about their policies per se, it's about what they do to the US's international reputation. So what did Biden do? The botched withdrawal from Afghanistan was the biggest thing. But his own frailty didn't help (speech fumbling and falling on stairs). Yeah, I know, his personal frailty shouldn't affect the US's reputation. But I think it did.
- myvoiceismypass 7mo agoTrump negotiated the Afghanistan withdrawal. Nearly all blame goes to him. Try again.
- AnimalMuppet 7mo agoBut didn't implement it. I mean, yes, the fact that we were leaving at all is due to Trump. (Either credit or blame, depending on whether you think we should have stayed there.) But the absolute debacle of how we left is on Biden. And it's that debacle that tarnished the reputation of the US.
