If he did good or bad, I don't know and it doesn't matter here. What I know is that Republicans were up in arms about the debt, maybe rightfully so - but also that Trump suggests a whole lot of things now that cost enormous amounts of money, they were listed and you know about it.
So whatever valid critizism there might be about Obamas handling of the finances, it's not like Trump will reduce the debt, it's more probable he multiplies it if all his plans go through. If one believes tariffs or cutting development aids will finance all that stuff, I'd say that's illusional.
Fair enough.
Just, reputation isn't only an important thing if you want to rule the world. It's maybe even more important if you don't.
Yeah you could save a fortune. Just, obviously you won't. New nukes, new carriers, new fancy stuff that doesn't exactly reduce the terrorism threat.
Oh no I doubt they will ever do any of that stuff, it's just what I would prefer. and our reputation wouldn't really matter because people wouldn't be depending on us for anything. If the leader is acting goofy, who cares?
