What's this?

Increased military buildup? We outspend the next 10 countries

combined and are surrounded by two oceans and two friendly neighbors that pose absolute no threat to us. We were running near trillion dollar deficits before the covid situation and you think a military buildup is an accomplishment? How much more than the next 10 countries combined do we need to spend on our military? Whatever happened to fiscal conservatism?

I actually agree with Trump confronting china... but as with anything he touches... he fucked that up too. The way to get china to the negotiating table is with a unified front with our allies. China needs the world market far more than they just need the US market. But instead of partnering with the EU and our allies throughout the world to bring pressure to bear on China, he starts trade wars with them too. China can outlast us in a standoff. They can't outlast us plus the EU plus Japan plus Australia, Canada, etc.

He's a total reckless, unthoughtful disaster of a human being and has no business being anywhere near the presidency.
