@swirlie It's very true and very sad.
I don't blame our former allies and friends for cutting us out of their national lives.
The supporters of DJT just have no understanding of the real sources of power.

@swirlie Anyone who voted for DJT is getting exactly what supported: the destruction of the US both internationally and domestically.
Biden led the US to a recovery which gave us an economy which was the envy of the world. Why are people so enthralled with rumor over facts?
• Biden numerically regained all the jobs lost by DJT and more-THAT's why we had historic, 50-year LOWS in unemployment.
• The whole world had inflation; we had gotten our under control.
• Wages went up.
• The US was a leader and again looked up to.
• The rule of law and the Constitution were abided by.
• Biden didn't try to retain power by interfering with Congress' rubber-stamping of the certified election results.
• Biden didn't foment insurrection.
No.
Twice-impeached, convicted felon DJT et al. immediately trashed some of the biggest achievements of Biden by destroying our stabding on the world and our economy in his first 100 days (meaning 60-some days of actual work, for him) and is trying to trash all the remaining ones.
even if it meant voting for a female President who said she would do everything just like Joe did, ffs's!

Did Joe do what Trump is doing today? I rest my case.
No.

I agree with most of what you've stated here. I would not exactly go so far as to agree that the US economy was the envy of the world, however I would say it was at least equal to everywhere else in the world, but certainly not the world's envy.
Even in Canada, the 2008 US-led Great Recession is still being talked about as something the US still hasn't technically recovered from, so I wouldn't say that even Canada had any particular envy for the US economy during the Biden Administration, considering Canada was the only country in the world that was minimally impacted by the 2008 Great Recession.
This was achieved by Canada because of the very conservative Canadian banking policies that were in place in Canada at the time which were the opposite to that of the USA's even to this day. It was very poor US banking policy that caused the implosion of the US loans and mortgages industry in the USA which then caused the Great Recession of 2008.
Since 2008, the US National Debt has been expanding annually with no attempt made by any government Administration since 2008 to contribute a single penny to the outstanding Principal owed to the US Federal Reserve. And even if the US economy was in fact the envy of the world as you've suggested that it was, it did nothing to offset what the US owes it's creditors around the world. What is there to envy about that? But I understand what you were eluding to.
Although I agree with US stats that show 50 year lows for unemployment under the Biden Administration, that objective was achieved primarily through government employment initiatives made by Biden, which hired the same people for government jobs that Trump is now laying off by the thousands.
Were all those people needed in the first place by Biden, or was it a make-work project? Who knows, but by creating government jobs, Biden was able to get his unemployment stats in a very enviable position compared to any other US President before him for sure.
When you say "the whole world had inflation; we had gotten our's under control", that statement is categorically false. The US inflation data was no more under control nor out of control, than any other country in the post-Covid world.
Don't know where you came up with that perception because the US never actually stood out on it's own from the rest of the world when it came to inflation for the entire 4 years of the Biden Administration. Keep in mind that the US President has absolutely no control over banking policy, nor over the US Federal Reserve, nor over the country's inflation or cost of living nor the price of gas at the pumps. All of that is totally out of his control, as it should be.
You say "the US was a Leader and again looked up to". A leader of what? Are you of the impression that the President of the US is the Leader of the world or something..? ...because he is not. The President of the US is the leader of the USA and the boundaries of the USA mark the line in the sand where his authority officially terminates.
When you say "Biden didn't foment insurrection", I can only say, do you think that Biden NOT causing an Insurrection is actually an achievement? 😂
