Absolutely at no time did Trump improve the US position on any issue he’s touched anywhere in the world.

US national security is demonstrably worse.
US foreign policy is demonstrably worse. Trump and Tillerson have sacked the State Department and rendered it incapable of doing its job. They’re the ones who do the deals and negotiate in concert with the Commerce Department, which was also gutted.

The experts aren’t sticking around and there’s no leadership anywhere at any level within the Trump admin, because he simply doesn’t give a shit and neither do any of his underlings.

Who benefits from this chaos? China, Putin, and our rivals.

Our allies are in worse shape. Trump props up despots and dictators, ignoring human rights abuses and civil rights, which gives those same despots a freer hand do crack down on civil and human rights.

So, how is any of that improving the US. Just because Trump spews it doesn’t mean it’s factually accurate, or even related to reality. This is another fact-free Trump diatribe that is untethered from facts or logic and that means the Fox News crowd will love this shit.

Then Trump responds to how Fox loves this shit and treats it as though the nation approves Trump’s actions, and we get the unending cycle of derp.
