Maybe you should be more concerned about what's in the interest of the US and less concerned about the feelings of our allies?

Lastly, my entire point on this subject was refuting your inane claim that Trump emboldens our enemies when he clearly achieves the exact opposite result.

Seems you are granting my argument that our allies are "more comfortable" with Biden; their "take" diverges sharply from the MAGA take, which
you falsely attributed to "anyone with a pulse and a functioning brain,"

though you don't seem to be clear about WHY our allies are "uncomfortable" with Trump. 

And you've not really established that our "enemies walk all over us" under Biden. Rght now he's the main reason Putin has not taken Ukraine.
Putin's best hope is that Trump wins and "ends the war in one day." 

Being the leading NATO partner is in the interest of the US. To keep that alliance viable, other members must be able to count on US leadership. 
Ending the war in one day by giving Ukraine to Russia is not a good result. What a mess that would render our NATO alliance.  That's all bad unless, 
of course, one favors the anti-Globalist movement which Putin has been exploiting in Europe as well as the US. 

Outside MAGA world, foreign policy experts assess a range of forces and motivations to explain all of Putin's foreign invasions. None of them
thinks Putin was suddenly emboldened by some Biden "weakness" or --ridiculously--by some Trump "strength." 
That sort of explanation only appeals to people who don't follow foreign policy.  https://www.nytimes.com/article/ukraine-russia-putin.html

Trump's own National Security Advisor thinks that Putin did not invade Ukraine during the Trump presidency because Trump's goals and behavior
aligned so closely with Moscow's wishes.https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/bolton-sheds-light-putin-didnt-invade-ukraine-trump-rcna19045

Outside of you and Trump just saying so, what is the evidence that a Trump presidency doesn't embolden our enemies? 
He's clearly disrupted our intel services. And very publicly praised dictators like Orban and Kim (with whom he exchanges love letters). 
Trump actually held up aid to Ukraine in hopes of damaging Biden's presidential campaign, which led to more political disruption in the form of
impeachment.  Why would you NOT want that guy back if you are an adversary.
