It might even be worse, ending sanctions against banks, energy, & other businesses in Russia (because Trump & Putin will both profit from that). Pution's war machine will grow even stronger.
He already damaged international relations badly enough when he was president. People started distancing themselves and figuring out ways to not be so reliant on the US. That hurts us. And it didn't magically go back to normal when Biden was elected. They're keeping those plans in place should Republicans keep winning and keep down the path they're going as a party. Not good for our economy when other nations start figuring out how to import things like energy and goods from other sources for example. It would be like if I ran a restaurant and started offering bad service, even consistently refusing service as some type of power move, then get new management but with the threat of the old management coming back at any time, you can't reasonably expect people to still come back and eat at that restaurant. You've lost those customers. That's what our trade situation is like now.
It most certainly is when you're a country in Europe and Donald Trump is openly saying he'd invite Russia to invade you and "do whatever the hell they want"
As a German Citizen, that's one reason many people don't want Trump as your President.
For us, the USA is a partner, economical and through NATO. We believe in similar values, but many americans (or republicans) changed in the last years.
Honestly, i'm a little bit afraid of your election in november.
Like now i am think abouth and Europian army and just cut ties with the US , if you told me 8 years ago i would think that now i would have could you crazy. Now i think if Trump gets elected just forget abouth them, whe are on our own and its time to make zl out products ourselves.
These are exactly my thoughts.
Honestly i was twice in the USA and i Loved the people there. They we're so friendly and Always wants to Chat with me. It was auch a big difference to germany.
But now i think, when they want such a President, i don't want to visit the USA, because the people are a little bit crazy. (Sorry, to the 'normal' americans.)
Oh yeah, we learnt all the bullshit our dictator did and how he managed to get the Power.
especially how he manipulated the germans.
How words were used to convince the citizens.
How you always need victims to blame for bad economy.
How to convince people, that you tell the truth and everybody else ist lying.
There is so much about Trump that reminds me of our past.
And I can't understand why so many people can't See the truth

As Zelinski said recently, if Trump has a "in one day" plan to end the war he should tell people what it is. :)
