Trump (or any future President) is irrelevant to the equation.
The bottom line is this.
Our government should not write diplomatic checks that our military is clearly incapable of cashing against China.
And that goes for Taiwan as well, when the day comes that China decides its going to take occupancy of its “renegade province.”
Your arguments amount to “Murica good”. Derp derp.
It’s pretty clear that you understand little of what happened under those presidencies you listed. Of those you mentioned, only FDR managed to do something with the explicit purpose of protecting freedom abroad.
I’d suggest you take the time to try and understand that no one outside of the US actually believes that US foreign policy is all about being good missionaries spreading the gospel of “freedom and democracy”. Consider the possibility that the US is basically that guy at a party who tries to convince everyone else that he has nothing but pure intentions and that his ■■■■ don’t stank.
I never said all of these Presidents were successful or their policies were good, but the believed the America has a special place representing democratic ideals.
Frequently, those ideals inspired good people around the world.
Clearly Trump supporters have abandoned American exceptionalism by defining money as the measure of all things.
OP grabbed a 4 year old article. There’s nothing in recent news about its citizens agitating for independence.
HK has been in the news for protesting attempts by its CCP approved leadership to enact extradition laws. The concern is that it would become a pretext which would make it easier for the CCP to make Hong Kong citizens disappear when they criticize the Chinese government.
