People are making fun of Trump, but I actually think he’s quite rational and knows when to back off when he’s hit a wall. Plus he does want the US to focus more on her neighborhood and control all the Americas than extending herself globally which is not sustainable In the long term . He’s not ideological like many western leaders and he’s more practical and look at things the way they are instead of basing his policies on emotions/ideology like many western leaders do.
so I think he does a better job in this aspect . The only issue I think he’s not doing well foreign policy wise is alienating some allies for no good reason , other than that I think he’s not too wrong on China
Yeah, but you’re skipping the part where this “realism” came only after he tried the genius plan of slapping 145% tariffs on China, triggering rare-earth retaliation, and accelerating American demilitarization and the very deindustrialization he pretends to oppose.
His own dumb escalation forced him to back down. Now he’s “being realistic” because China didn’t fold, the U.S. couldn’t absorb the blow, and he suddenly needs meetings he was too arrogant to think he’d ever have to beg for, even one year later.
