I read with interest some recent observations regarding the performance of our current president, particularly with regard to our withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, but also regarding a whole series of issues that he allegedly “spoiled” during a short eight months. I would just like to offer the following points regarding this review.

Initially, no political party caused the pandemic. We could have had it contained except for one administration that dismissed it as a hoax, politicized the issue, and insisted on spreading blatantly ridiculous information. The general ignorance of people about protection will ensure that we will be dealing with COVID and its variants for some time to come.

Second, there is a lot of criticism to be made about Afghanistan. If you think a person just woke up one day and made all the decisions, you have a pretty poor understanding of how diplomacy and foreign relations actually work, or in this case, don’t. There are countless examples of other foreign relations issues that have been mismanaged from Viet Nam to Syria, as well as many African countries in which genocide and ethnic cleansing has been committed for religious and ethnic reasons.

Finally, Donald Trump had about as much political, military and constitutional insight as any 6-year-old. He lost the popular vote in both elections, and his “voter fraud” claims and lawsuits have only uncovered a plethora of wrongdoing on his part and the rest of the Republican Party. The myth that he was revered by all other rulers in the free world is a joke. His administration added more to the national debt in four years than most other administrations in history, all at the expense of most average Americans while his cronies lined their pockets with billions tax-free. The fact that anyone is considering the idea of ​​reinstating him or having him represent the Republican Party in 2024 is beyond ludicrous. As most scholars of “sectarian behavior” would say: “The only difference between Donald Trump and Jim Jones is that Trump would charge for Kool-aid.”

Hopefully in the midst of all this tribalism, we can find individuals who can stop biting the hand that feeds them, and who will maintain institutions like unions, public employee pensions, social security, bank accounts. insured by the federal government, subsidized by the federal government. home and farm loans, and all the other institutions that make our lives comfortable and secure without asking whether we are red or blue.
