Post on X: Biden & Democracy

Even I, who value freedom, democracy, and the rule of law, think Biden has pushed democracy too far.

For example, the Summit for Democracy forced the world to choose between democracy or no democracy, which encouraged the division of the world. Biden also didn’t handle his friendship with Xi Jinping well. Xi is greedy, but Biden pushed Xi away by competing with Trump over his policy toward China in the 2020 presidential election. In doing so, he ruined his friendship with Xi which he had invested years in since the Obama administration, which speaks to his lack of strategy.

Trump is different. Playing politics based on deals may be a problem, but what I have learned is that pushing your ideology too far is more of a problem because not all countries can agree. That alone is disrespectful to other countries.

There are two sides to everything. And since nothing can be said for certain in these unstable times, we will have to let the results speak for themselves. But for now, at least, I think I understand why Trump is loved by leaders hostile to the US like Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un. That’s because Trump gives them the respect they don't get from Democrats and neocons.

​That’s why, Trump’s diplomacy can be politically risky, but that’s why, other countries want to get close to him. They probably think that Trump “gets it”.
