Blasting Trump, Biden pledges global summit on democracy

Denouncing President Donald Trump as an affront to American values, Democratic candidate Joe Biden vowed Thursday that if elected he would hold a summit aimed at halting a backslide in global democracy.

The former vice president, who leads early polls for the Democratic nomination to challenge Trump in next year's election, said his foreign policy would be "based on clear goals driven by sound strategies, not by Twitter tantrums."

"The world sees Trump for what he is: insincere, ill-informed and impulsive -- and sometimes corrupt, dangerously incompetent and incapable, in my view, of world leadership and leadership at home," Biden said in a speech on foreign policy in New York.

Biden chastised Trump for downplaying human rights and voiced alarm at the "rapid advance of authoritarianism, nationalism and illiberal tendencies around the world" even among US allies, naming Hungary, the Philippines and Turkey.

He said he would hold a summit in the United States within one year of taking office that would recommit to democratic values and involve civil society.

"Leaders who attend must come prepared to cooperate and make concrete commitments to take on corruption and advance human rights in their own nations," he said.

"We have to be honest about our friends that are falling short and forge a common agenda to address the greatest threats to our shared values," he said.

Biden said he would also convene a separate summit on climate change within 100 days of taking office where the United States would press other major carbon emitters to join it in making "more ambitious national pledges."

Biden cares about “Global issues”, but Americans - Not so Much.

Denouncing President Donald Trump as an affront to liberal-leftist-socialist-humanist-globalist values...

We need all the other countries that are failing miserably to tell us what to do.

That's the truth.

We already have a failed UN (that we despise) and those same countries trying to tell us what to do. :)

In a democracy 50.1% of the people can vote to kill the other 49.9%. In a republic the representatives would have to agree to it, and do it in accordance with the rule of law.

apparently Bidn thinks that democratic populism isn’t actually democratic, in other words, if the “wrong” people are elected, then it’s not “democratic” ...

btw, once again, we see the Dems caring ONLY about people in OTHER countries, with not even a nod for we taxpaying U.S. worker citizens ...

Biden sees himself in Trump, insincere, ill-informed and impulsive and sometimes corrupt, dangerously incompetent and incapable, in my view, of world leadership and leadership at home.
In point of fact, President Trump is the most sincere, well-informed, competent president of genuine integrity we have experienced since Lincoln. His leadership in two short years is proven to be global. Trump is a man for this season, sent by God, to deliver us from the greatest evil to beset mankind, communism.
