It seems Americans are entirely focused on domestic issues.

Trump trashed trust with just about every democracy in the world during his presidency.

Everything he did on the world stage was failure writ large.

Biden has restored a lot of trust in America in other countries, it's difficult to imagine Trump would have backed Ukraine while kissing Putin's backside.

Perhaps that's not important to Americans, it certainly is to the rest of the world's free nations.

Just to be clear, the Biden administration has done a superb job.  It came to power during a crisis primarily as a result of Trump's dismissal of the seriousness of Covid.  Trump's inaction caused massive numbers of deaths.  In one analysis, 40% of those that died is attributed to mishandling and downplaying Covid and undermining health guidelines.   That was a mess of epic proportions to inherit.  Let's not forget, he was also facing the aftermath of Trump's Big Lie and the havoc it was and still is wreaking on American Democracy.   

 

We have gone from all out, huge shortages of many goods, to other than a few (and baby formula is the big one) to almost no shortages.   We are paying higher prices, but we aren't facing severe shortages and limits on products -- you might recall, you could only get 1 or two packages of toilet paper, if you could find a store that carried it.   Biden has paved the way for the improvement of the supply chain.  Unfortunately, with many goods and parts coming from overseas, it is not within his control to do much.   Most of what we can't get, nobody else can get either.   
 

Oil seems to be at the core of a lot of the economic problems along with worker shortages.   Oil prices are high everywhere.  The problem is hardly unique to the US.  He has made huge releases from the Strategic Oil Reserve.   Any nonsense about expanding drilling is a long shot at best and getting new wells online and into the refineries takes time.   So, no, the Keystone Pipeline didn't stop even one drop of oil (from Canada) from getting to the US.  The Pipeline was in the process of being built and a very long way from completion.   

The obvious move to mitigate the oil problem is to work toward more sustainable sources of energy, including electricity from wind and solar.  Trump, on the other hand, pretty much brought the wind and solar industry to a halt.   

So, as we move from the acute phase of the pandemic into the long term chronic phase with all the associated problems, I am extremely pleased to have a consummate leader like Biden at the helm and not some loud mouthed reality TV host at the helm.  Yes, quite pleased.

Yes, you're quite right. The administration did badly drop the ball on that one. And I'm sure, if the Trump administration had performed badly, you would forthrightly condemn them. Fortunately that never happened...oh wait a minute

Damning analysis of Trump's pandemic response suggested 40% of US COVID-19 deaths could have been avoided

A report on the Trump administration's policies suggested 40% of US COVID-19 deaths were avoidable.

Compared with six similarly wealthy countries, the US failed to protect citizens' health in the pandemic.

Trump publicly downplayed COVID-19 and often undermined health guidelines.

IMO Biden and the White House are making measured responses to a series of crises not of their making.

You may be right, and Trump may get re-elected in 2024. Say goodbye to integrity, decency and common sense. In fact, America and the rest of the world can collectively BOHICA.

So you think because fair minded people don't want biden and his far left agenda we automatically want Trump. That assumption is incorrect. We want Trump's agenda not his tweets, a secure border, decent gas prices. We want a proactive president who doesn't cater to the wokeness that's destroying  the USA. Me for one doesn't want Mr Trump back as POTUS, I just want the lunatic democrats gone before they can cause more damage.

I resent Trump and his deplorable supporters for what they've done to Americas reputation on the world stage, reinforcing the image of Americans as a bunch of ignorant loudmouth nincompoops.

UGLY AMERICANS.

Please post a link to anyone who thinks biden has done well on the world stage. You won't do it because it's not possible. You'll only come across stories of his blunders.

Couple things...

 

DEMOCRACY

1. Unlike Biden, the greatest damage done by Trump and his band of fellow Republican would-be insurrectionists is the undermining of public faith and trust in the U.S. system of democratic elections.

 

He and they have done more to push the U.S. in the direction of autocratic, banana republic rule than anyone else in the modern history of the U.S.  If the long and worldwide admired U.S. system of democracy ends up failing (as it came dangerously close to doing in 2020), the fault will lay at Trump's doorstep. That Biden was able to emerge from that carnage as president is a true blessing.

 

UKRAINE

2. I get that no one likes high gasoline prices in the U.S., and I'd agree that Trump as president likely could have avoided that. How? By doing what he no  doubt would have done had he been re-elected as president, and that's handing Ukraine and who knows what else in Eastern Europe over to Putin with a gift-wrapped bow.

 

So, despite the hits that the economy has taken/is taken, I'm glad we have Biden and not Trump as president... Because Biden stands up for the principles that have made the U.S. the envy of the world for decades, and is willing to stand with would-be democracies against the wolves seeking to devour them. It may end up costing the Democrats control of Congress, but it was the right thing for the U.S. to do, 100 times out of 100.  And Biden to his credit led the way on that, not only for the U.S., but for all the western democracies.

 

PS - If Biden has a 'far left" and "lunatic" agenda, then Trump and his followers such as DeSantis, Abbott, MTG and others are so far off the fringe right wing extremist end of the scale that they no longer can be found or measured. They've dropped off into oblivion. How about ceasing with the silly, overblown inflammatory rhetoric...

 

Biden, as he's been thru his long political career, is a moderate, middle of the road Democrat, caught between the more liberal side of his party vs. the increasingly extremist, Trump inspired Republicans in Congress. It's a miserable place to be, no doubt!

The bozo tried to orchestrate a coup and destroy what REAL PATRIOTS fought for over almost 250 years. Those who support 45 are either too stupid to understand the ideals upon which the US was founded, or they are traitors. There is no in between.

 

When you try to overthrow a democratically-elected govt, or support people who do, you are a traitor. Thus, those who 'love 45' are traitors and should be handed the punishment of traitors.

 

Like many REAL PATRIOTS, I went into harm's way defending the nation, and I lost friends who did the same against terrorists who are a lesser threat than 45 and his moronic cultists. ANYONE who seeks to destroy what we defended is a traitor. 45 disgraces the graves of those in Arlington, disgraces the graves of my former colleagues.

 

I will celebrate the day he faces the ultimate justice, and my friends will rest in peace again.

Well said @Walker88 and it astounds me how many Americans cannot see that which you have posted is in fact the truth.

 

Even now there Republican senators who believe the election was "stolen", so how dumb does one have to be to be elected a Republican senator?

 

I like your posts because you focus on facts, and you are not just an armchair critic because you have actually been in amongst the action defending your country, and for that I totally respect you and your views.

 

There is only one way that a president like Trump was elected, and that way had to be that the supporters of this moron are not that bright (or as someone else said, "not college-educated") or indeed believe the right-wing rhetoric of the likes of Fox News.

 

I despair for the state of the USA even though none of it is the fault of the current President, and he is having an extremely difficult time being able to get anything passed because of Republican blocking.

 

And just to end, it shows the depths to which other posters will sink, when they try and blame the infant food formula shortage on Biden!! Beyond belief.

Far left agenda? As far as Australians are concerned, Americans do not know what the terms left and socialist mean. We would consider Biden moderate, slightly right of centre.  Although it is ironic most Americans don't realize their military has some very socialist characteristics.

You are not going to get to separate Trump from being a candidate in 2024, unless he is in prison. He has hijacked the Republican Party, Fox News, and social media so completely every GOP candidate for office has to kiss his butt, and I can't think of any moderate Republican ( if there is such a thing left ) that would waste their time and money standing against him in the primaries.

Personally, I don't think it is woke to be trying to prevent more Sandy Hooks and Uvaldes.

I guess you believe that Americans support ...

.. a Supreme Court whose conservative majority mostly rules in favor of corporations over workers

And tax laws that favor the rich and powerful

And letting corporations merge and stifle competition

And making health insurance for the self employed and the working poor unaffordable

And oppose weakening Big Oil

 

So what exactly are the items on Biden's "far left agenda?"

Well, actually by bringing up the 2024 election you only prove the validity of my point. After all, in that 2024 election you think one issue might be that Trump is responsible for the deaths of more than 450,000 people? How is that gonna stack up against an infant formula shortage?

Fox knows the undereducated people are natural prey, easily manipulated targets for con men, scammers and  sitting ducks their propaganda. 

The viewers like to feel good about themselves when they believe they have access to information that other people don't necessarily have.

They convince themselves that everybody else is some kind of sheep. They are in possession of information that other people don't have and gives them a feeling of superiority when in fact, the world views them as massively ignorant.

Right. An inept demented old man who worked and wrangled hard to get a huge infrastructure bill successfully passed with bipartisan support. And then he managed to unite the European nations against the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
