    Trump has been right about China, and willing to tell the truth about China, both of which have been rare for decades.

    Dont be Dumb.
    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

    As you consider the expert opinion take a look around...the experts drove us here.

    Why are you still listening to them, letting them intimidate you?

    Yep. he sure had a grasp on a damn balloon, which should have been shot down the minute it entered American airspace. But no, Biden left it gain intel all across the US, as well as our military installations.

    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    It sure does seem sometimes like the Han already run the joint, and are doing a controlled implosion.

I think he did enormous damage to the country and certainly to the Republican party in the four years he served. All that is repairable, and I think it is being repaired, but four more years of Donald Trump could do significant permanent damage to the country and the Republican party."

    There will come a day where Donald Trump is gone, but the dishonor of those who carried his water will remain.

    He did no such thing. China has never been a mystery. It is sad that our manufacturers created them by moving all the manufacturing to China.
    If we had a war with them, we would have to buy our weapons from them. Being capitalists, they would sell them to us. China has a fraction of our wealth and a much smaller army. https://www.businessinsider.in/defen...ideid=51930374

    Bolton has long been a dangerous loose cannon in Dirty City. I can remember reading some of his tard stuff all the way back to the late 80's where he advocated starting wars for various reasons. Trump is hardly the first, or last, person that had Bolton around. At least so far, nobody's taken Bolton's warmongering advice seriously.

    Trump was unable to understand national security threats

    I'm willing to bet real money he understands them a lot better than you do.

    Biden is easily the most incompetent president we've had in close to a century, possibly longer, on handling foreign affairs. He has a half-century track record of being on the wrong side of every policy in this area he makes.
    TA, on his worst day in office, Joe Biden has been a MUCH, MUCH more competent president than Trump was on his best day in office. Joe Biden is FAR from the most incompetent president we've ever had...and honestly, that title will probably remain Trump's from now until the end of our Republic.
    ON HIS WORST DAY, JOE BIDEN IS A BETTER PRESIDENT THAN TRUMP WAS ON HIS BEST DAY!

    trump decided to just ignore the balloons that flew over the USA during his presidency, so you really do not have anything to complain about.
    Daniel Patrick Moynihan said it best, "You are entitled to your opinion. But you are not entitled to your own facts."
    Paul Begala, "Politics is show business for ugly people."
    Stephen Colbert, "Reality has a well known liberal bias."

    Were they real weather balloons or intel gathering balloons like the one Biden allowed to access our military installations?

    All one needs is to speak of any of Trumps many failures, and your job is not to comment on these failures, but to change the subject as quickly as possible.
