The Rose colored glasses:
Withdrawal from Afghanistan:
"The fact is, President Joe Biden and his predecessor, Donald Trump, were both eager to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan and end what Biden referred to in his
Aug. 16 speech as “America’s longest war.”
The Trump administration in February 2020 negotiated a
withdrawal agreement with the Taliban that
excluded the Afghan government, freed 5,000 imprisoned Taliban soldiers and set a date certain of May 1, 2021, for the final withdrawal."-

The economy during Biden term
"The consensus in the media seems to be that even though the economy is strong, people see it differently. Voters, burned by the rising price of groceries, felt pinched and demanded change. This story surely describes some voters, but we find it hard to believe that Americans elected Trump because they are confused about the economy....During booms, by contrast, voters are more willing to take risks and therefore more likely to elect Republicans, who favor lower taxes...Democratic presidents cause high stock returns; rather, they tend to get elected when risk aversion and expected future returns are high. The opposite is true for Republicans.
According to our model, Trump just got elected because risk aversion is low due to the strong economy....This is not Trump’s fault—blame it on the strong economy under Biden."-

"For data through November 2024, President Biden on average had the lowest unemployment rate (4.12%) and highest real hourly wages for production & non-supervisory workers ($30.11) among presidents back to 1964."

Do you really want to defend the withdraw of Afghanistan? Seriously?
First, you have to start with Syria, as Trump wanted to withdraw our troops from there, and the Liberals kept saying it was a bad idea, and that all the Kurds would be slaughtered. Well, Trump showed how you withdraw: You tell them that you will blow them to smithereens if one American is touched. Secondly, to this day, not 1 Kurd was touched either. Why, because Trump warned them of the repercussions.
Biden on the other hand withdraws and puts every American in harms way. No care, no plan, no remorse. 13 US servicemen and 175 Afghans were murdered. He refused to maintain 2500 troops when told that the country would collapse and abandoned Bagrum Air Force Base with its secure runway, and therefore the pullout was done in a panic from Kabul's civilian airport. Then had the audacity to hail the withdraw as a Dunkirk style triumph when it was actually chaotic humiliation.
To this day, Afghan women are treated horrifically, and it is a haven for Jihadists. This is also the exact reason Putin invaded Ukraine as their was no deterrence and why the Yemen backed Houthis have attacked commercial ships over and over.
Do you really think that the Trump would have not told the Taliban that if they crossed so said line before every single American and piece of equipment was withdrawn that he would annihilate them?
So, sitting there and telling everyone that we had to withdraw, is completely different than how we withdrawal.
I will also not get into the Israeli conflict and explain to you that the only reason there is still Hamas around is Biden. And the only reason there is a ceasefire, is that Trump was coming into office and said there would be hell to pay if the hostages were not released when he took office. Hamas knew Trump would not hamper Israel like Biden did numerous times.
When it comes to Foreign Policy, Biden will go down as one of the worst ever. Here is a short list of his great accomplishments.
Halts Keystone Pipeline and Federal Drilling (Then blame Russia)
Return to WHO
End Support for the Saudis in Yemen
Extend the START treaty another 5 years
Revoke Houthis as a FTO and SDGT
Restart negotiations with Iran and giving them unilateral sanctions relief. Just like Obama
Canceling snapback sanctions on Iran weapons
Failure to stand up to CCP
Cut Defense spending
Not allowing reference to Abraham accords
Continuing to lie about the conditions in Afghanistan
Tells Moscow that a Minor Excursion is ok and fails to deter the invasion
Refused to place Oil Sanctions on Iran
Constantly Divulging plans of Israel
Grovels for Saudi oil production
Stalls Air Defense systems
Chinese Spy Balloons allowed to roam all over US
No F16s for Ukraine
Paid Ransom to Iran
Touts quieter Middle East right before Hamas attacks Israel and created the conditions that allowed it.
Abstain at the UN
Cutting off Precision munitions to Israel
Presses Europe not to rebuke Iran
Whipping against ICC sanctions
I can go on and on.
