Trump was laughed at, repeatedly, on the international stage.
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

Where would you rank it?

Do you think China needed to be reeled in on the shit they were pulling? I do. So what would you have done differently?

Can't continue to let China take advantage of us.

Ok, does it feel like we are winning?

Worth it?

Like I said, long term, this short term pain will probably be worth it.

I think Biden has been pretty average but one of the things he has done right is repair the American image.
i agree, and would even border on a below-average rating

my post was more to point out (yet again) someone’s lack of reading comprehension
He's a third of the way through his first term so I haven't downgraded him too much yet. In some ways he's actually done better than I thought he would. He was probably my 7th or 8th choice in the primary.

He completely botched the pull out of Afghanistan and that will stain his legacy forever. I'm still blown away with how poorly that was executed.

And, it can not be overstated, he inherited the worst situation imaginable.

The only thing that comes close, IMO, was the situation that Obama inherited

Been that way since we chased the British away from the airports.

A CEO, president of the University, whomever who gets in front of the press has these sane instructions. Hell, Roi probably had them so he’d know when to round up the team before the ball jump. Some of you act like you’ve never had to deal with a tight schedule before

What's the problem with this? This happens thousands of times across America every day with people doing lots of events in lots of places. Should we ridicule bands for making set lists or for CROs who travel a lot and need reminders of what city they are in and company they are talking to?

Just because Trump chose to never prepare to speak to anyone (and subsequently looked like he was never prepared when he talked about anything) doesn't mean that is the expectation. Trump humpers bashing the President for attempting to be prepared is more proof of their celebration of ignorance. They see Trump's lack of desire to be knowledgable about his talking points as a badge of honor.
