Oh, and that’s before we get to the on again off again tariffs causing stock market plummets and rambling about Canada being the 51st state*. No amount of look over there will make that more palatable. Obama weakened the US’s image with a poor Iranian deal, Biden was old and slow, was too old to be president (as is Trump) and made a huge error to push forward with the Afghanistan withdrawal. However, he didn’t torch alliances and disregard them for his own ego or dim witted thoughts about peace. At least Biden didn’t ramble like some half-cooked mad man. This is far more detrimental to the USA and it’s hard to see many recover trust in them.
*I know of many Canadians. They have no desire to be part of the USA, they are not Americans in denial. It’s like saying Walloon Belgians are actually French or Flemish people are actually Dutch. Even among conservative Canadians who might be otherwise more sympathetic to some of Trump’s ideas. The feeling there is one of anger and dislike. A recent poll has positive feeling towards USA at around 24%, compared to 76% negative there.
