If you think that North Korea and Iran were too tough for Trump, just think of what Biden will do, maybe he can send them both a few pallets of cash, apologize, bow politely, and beg them every day to not make him look bad.

It says a lot about Trump and his supporters that they only understand power in terms of violence, whether physical or verbal. True power doesn’t need to threaten or attack, it influences and commands without having to puff up its chest and shout like a child.

BINGO
Then again it won't really be Biden running the country.

True power is to surrender like France does.

Negotiate instead of threaten... a carrot instead of a (short) stick.

Nah... begging foreign leaders to help himself look good is a real Donald move.

funny coming from the same people who critize Trump for using the term friend to describe leaders of nations we have strained relationships, Trump no matter what he does someone will find a way to make it look wrong.

The good new is we wont have to find out what Biden would do, we can look at the total failure he was as a VP and over his entire career.

Not sure what you mean by a failure as VP... the last veeps we had who overshadowed their presidents were Quayle and Cheney... and neither of them should be proud of that.

Actual, we are talking about the other side there
as seen on TV
night after night
who's causing the problems in the US
and which side supports them?

No one is fooled.

Trump’s 4th of July speech from the White House.
A great speech where Trump gives credit to many American heroes. Sharing some of the US plans for the future. Wanting to build unity within the Country.

We don't erase our history
we learn from it.

Learning from history isn't incompatible with deciding that some things are not worth praising and lionizing in the form of statues and memorials.

I dunno. The USA president just told us there's his people.... and then there's people like me who want to destroy America.

As far as I can tell, his supporters agree with that.

Sounds like an excellent movement.

It is mildly interesting watching Trump's descent into madness one step at a time.

Like Shakespearean tragedy.

In this case, I predict a happy ending for America November 3.

And perhaps Trump can legitimately plead insanity when he begins to battle the criminal charges he will surely face.

I’m sure that would have been a much more cutting retort if I was actually French.

I am on the Left and I feel "dis-united" by his rhetoric.

We don't erase our history

By the same token we shouldn't honor those who stood against our Union and who stood to support anti-human philosophies like slavery.

we learn from it.

Data would seem to indicate this is not universally true:

LOLOL! Standard Issue WWII Joke! LOLOLOL!

If you've never been to France you might not know but France is extremely proud of France including their military victories!

One of the things that fascinated me about my many trips to France was how much they are like the US! They are fiercely proud of their history, their language and their society. Just like us!

From your keyboard to God's computer screen!

If only. (It is interesting, though, that Trump et al recently started a campaign to demonize the International Criminal Court...lol).

Nah, Trump will (with luck) meander off into the sunset on Nov 3 and we'll quickly realize how far along his dementia is. It'll be scary to look back on the potential but we'll be too busy cleaning up the mess he's made of this country.

Vladimir Putin (Russia)

Kim Jung-un (North Korea)

Xi (China)

For a President who preaches against the evils of Marxism,Communism and Socialist, why is Trump attracted to left-wing authoritarian leaders?

Trump is green with "president for life" envy.

Also, not sure about 'left wing'.
China is basically one-party capitalism anymore.
Russia is crony authoritiarian nationalism.
I could see NK as family run 'leftist' caricature.
