It's funny that there are still people trying to prop him up as a successful president. He made one drug cheaper which helps like 20% of diabetics. And even though "Presidents don't control gas prices" he got them back down just in time for election season. No complaints about that. But how about a living wage? Democrats used to try to work towards that. Don't talk about the withdrawal from Afghanistan.
On the one hand, that was kind of a good thing — the US meddling there forever and ever amen was never going to turn out well. On the other hand, Trump is probably the one that actually gets credit for that
Trump literally tried to do it too! One of the few good ideas he had, and then the blob whipped up a story about Russian soldiers being paid to kill US soldiers in Afghanistan and whoopsie(!) no more withdrawal
Lol I forgot all about that and Kamala even mentioned it in her debate with Mike Pence.
Honestly even with all the caveats you can point to I was still more than ready to label Biden as the greatest president of my lifetime (for whatever that is worth) just for that barring any truly insane developments...and then the world said "hold my beer".
Yeah, instead of being the first domino to the end of the "global war on terror", it just freed up US arms to get used elsewhere
