    Foreign policy wise he was a bit of an oaf. Or an isolationist. An isolationist oaf. Ended the forever war in Afghanistan, made it clear to Iran that nuclear disarmament was a bad idea, messed up plenty of soft power projects, pushed the EU away, fucked up the coup in Venezuela, the "trade war" with China. That's just what I can recall right now. Oh yeah the whole "shithole country" thing

        He brokered the deal.
        The coup was underway before him, he fucked it up.
        The murder of Soleimani was also a massive misstep.
        Yes he started the trade war, that was the fuck up.

                When Obama left office, there was no plan for leaving Afghanistan. He just gestured towards if and never did anything.

                When Trump left office there was a specific date on the calendar everyone was supposed to be out by and a timeline that was in progress for leaving.

                Those aren’t the same thing
