This entire administration is a gift to everybody but the US. It’s either in service of Russia, China or whoever is willing to pay Trump the most.

It's funny how the acceleration of the downfall of the US (due to trump) is a gift to everyone else. It's almost as if US didn't have as postitive impact on the world as they thought.
A gift to [every dictatorial regime]. It's not a gift to the common people. The hundreds of thousands of people who got aids, and wouldn't have if not for Trumps withdrawal, didn't benefit. The women of Afghanistan didn't benefit. The countries of the EU... Canada... Korea... Taiwan... Ukraine... really just about any democracy didn't benefit.
The downfall of the US benefiting bad people is not evidence that the US didn't have a positive impact.
I think EU is benefitting massively from US losing the capacity to hobble it while pretending to be friendly. Ukraine is doing better than ever. And how US harmed Ukrainian efforts because they were scared of their own made up boogieman they turnd russia into during cold war is well documented.
Canda, Korea and Taiwan also benefit from US showing their true colors. Now at least they know what's real and what was fiction and can plan better for themselves.
Downfall sounds exaggerated.
US is a great and respectable country with amazing nature, people tech and military, very very far a collapsed state.
If anything to be worried of, it's the state of Europe. Closer and closer to war, full of insecurity and no innovation.
US is a great country.
Let's agree to disagree.

Chinese have a nickname for Trump. 川建国. Trump the nation builder(meaning China). But Biden actually continued most of Trumps policies.
I won’t forgive Biden for not reversing more of trumps policies, especially immigration
Between RBJ refusing to step down, Biden not reversing immigration policy, and Biden refusing to step down in the primary until too late, he’s going to go down as a poor president in the history books - even if he wasn’t a bad dude or even bad in terms of policy.
He was getting senile. What did you expect. There must be age limit for rulers

Technically his material support to a genocide makes him complicit, it would not have been nearly at the scale without US support tens of thousands of women and children were murdered as a direct result of his decisions[1], if international law meant anything we would hang him for that. So no, he was a "bad dude".
