I've long been in favor of retrenchment to preserve US hegemony long term, but he's straight up wrecking it whole cloth. Mr. Make America Great Again is accelerating the decline and Wondy cheers wholeheartedly.



This is another liberal media false narrative you are just parroting.

Just like alleging that the U.S. military is running out of missiles in fighting a third-rate power like Iran. When the truth is, only 20% of U.S. military strength is positioned in the Persian Gulf region around Iran now, with huge reserves of military power that can be called in from elsewhere.
( And by the way, this Democrat/Leftist/anti-Trump canard, that we are exhausting our missiles and other military hardware, was never argued by you when Joe Biden was giving all our missiles, planes and ammunition to Ukraine during the 4 years of Biden's presidency, when it TRULY WAS endangering U.S. national security. )


South Korea has become a far-Left nation, and an imploding nation, that takes U.S. military protection and U.S. trade deficits for granted, and gives nothing in return.
Trump (as with the NATO European nations) is using military and economic strength to negotiate South Korea's cooperation. Whereas in your America-hating brain, you think giving things to South Korea as they take an anti-American stance will somehow make them respect us and be a reliable ally, IT WON'T.
This is the same Democrat-talking-points false argument you gave (parroting liberal media talking points) about how Trump was allegedly destroying NATO when Trump threatened not to honor U.S defense of NATO in Europe, if European nations didn't pay their share of defense (not paid for decades by European nations) , but... they eventually began paying, and some paying in more than double their annual obligations now. That they would NOT have been paying, if Obama, Hillary, Biden, or Kamala were president. FACT. Likewise under Bush Sr, George W. or McCain presidencies.

And you, like the liberal media, are just a kneejerk reflex , that attacks and mocks anything that Trump and his administration does. Even after the facts later prove you were dead wrong. I don't agree with everything Trump says or does, but he has a very high ratio of success, and there is no denying the miracles Trump has accomplished in his barely 18 months as president, as of July 20th.

Trump brought illegal immigration (and drug trafficking) to a screeching immediate halt in just his first 6 weeks as president in 2025.
Trump has overseen flawless military operations multiple times in the last 18 months, in Venezuela, and in Iran.
Trump made us oil-independent for the first time in 71 year in his first term, that was undermined by Biden and the Democrat-Bolsheviks, and now has done it a second time.

Trump has brought about the highest military enlistment in 50 years, to the point that they now have to decline recruits, which means our military can select the brightest and the best.
Trump has inspired global confidence, to the point that the wealthiest nations and companies are investing over 19 TRILLION into building factories and infrastructure in the U.S., whereas under the entire 4 years of Biden there was barely 1 trillion in investment. This means a vast increase in jobs, factories, research and development, and resulting taxable federal income on that growth, over the years to come.
And countless oher smaller accomplishments, in barely 18 months.

    Liberals who bemoan discrimination, intolerance, restraint of Constitutional freedoms, and promotion of hatred toward various abberant minorities, have absolutely no problem with discriminating against, being intolerant of, restricting Constitutional freedoms of, and directing hate-filled scapegoat rhetoric against conservatives.

    EXACTLY what they accuse Republicans/conservatives of doing, is EXACTLY what liberals/Democrats do themselves, to those who oppose their beliefs.
