I trust Trump about as far as I can throw him, and at the end of the day it's really the Pentagon calling the shots here not the POTUS.

But dudes clearly speaking to a public sentiment here.

    Biden and any other POTUS runs US Imperialism by the playbook. Trump will not change US Imperialism, but he does disrupt it and panics the deep state (Industrialists and the MIC), I don't think any other POTUS would've gone to the DPRK

      The DPRK meeting is a perfect embodiment of the "upside" to Trump's foreign policy: noisy, not anything a regular president would do, and ultimately did not change the status quo even slightly.

      And of course the downside is getting us closer to war with Iran (twice, I believe) than we've been in decades.

        and ultimately did not change the status quo even slightly.

        It did actually, or was on the course to. After this visit Kim announced they are toning down the military expenses to focus on civil development. But when Biden became president and OcK elected even more fascist govt than usual the provocations increased greatly and as an effect DPRK had to get way closer to Russia that anytime before, they even officially entered military defensive pact now.

      Still paint me skeptical he would really do any meaningful damage.

      Whatever I ain't voting for either of them.
