In which way? Because of the poor implementation?


The capriciousness, lack of concern with reality, the poor implementation…


Eh I think that’s a general feature of governments, not necessarily something unique to the Trump administration.


This sure didn't happen under Biden.


Depends on your perspective. How callous and poorly implemented was the withdrawal from Afghanistan? I know Trump signed the deal, but Biden was responsible for the execution at the time.

It’s helpful to not be dogmatic about these things, and even more helpful if you abandon partisanship.


It is helpful to be informed.

This form of argument, ends up normalizing the Trump presidency with the Biden presidency, which on its own is abhorrent to any scale of comparison.

Leave alone the fact that deciding to exit and leaving execution up to someone else is the quintessential act of sabotage.

Consider that this is less than a year of the Trump presidency.

And this is a sub thread where the comparison to the USSR is sustained.
