I think you're forgetting that Trump literally did deescalate the situation with Russia and Ukraine during his term. I don't know if you went paying attention or forgot about the events but either way his administration kept this from happening while he was in office. In fact hos term was tye most peaceful we have had in many years due to his constant peace keeping efforts and this is despite the fact that he was fought tooth and nail by the left in everything he tried to do. I'm not some Trump fan boy but unlike so many people I don't consider there to be any option but to live in reality and what I want to believe can't change reality, we have to all accept facts weather we like them or not.
Trump is a salesman.
He could have been a great president if he would have also called out the police state, instead of championing it.
So on one hand champion the bluecollar worker, people that actually do the work and not just spend their time figuring out how to avoid having to work. That's a great thing, trump sort of did that.
However you don't want to go the "Law and Order" route. See he could have championed the left and libertarians by calling out the police and prison state and stating that if you commit a non-violent crime there are ways we can eliminate those laws and we can keep some of the problems they might cause mitigated.
Could have let thousands of non-violent offenders out of prison and not only that wiped their records from the digital plantation.
So not only do you have the working class on your side, you're now seen as a champion of freedom and liberty because you're no longer gonna lock up millions of people for bullshit.
Instead what you got was a blowhard that didn't give a shit about anyone and instead made sure he pardoned the rich con-artist class that stole millions of dollars and he told everyone else to fuck off. You quickly saw who he cared about and that was "Trump", he doesn't give a fuck about anyone except perhaps his hot daughter, that he probably fucked.
That is what I call a straight up motherfucker and that's what he was, nothing other than a shallow cunt that is obsessed with money, no depth to the man at all. Not only that I think the dude saw himself as a soft-autocrat like Putin.
