In public, Trump was pretty pleasant to the leaders of America’s enemies. But that’s in public. In private, he kicked them bloody. Trump tightened the leash so hard on Kim, famines ensued. He was seizing ships at periodic intervals. Biden loosened those sanctions by ending that program. And lo - flush with cash, Kim started testing new missiles again.
Trump ramped up sanctions on Russia. He exited worthless missile and Open Skies treaties that Putin did not live up to, that Biden wants to revive. He struck Russian ground troops for the first time in a century*, killing 200 of them, something even Trump-hating Newsweek acknowledges:

Trump’s relationship with the leaders of America’s enemies is a lot like domestic abuse - pleasant in public appearances together and serious beatdowns in private. That is why Kim and Putin respected Trump - his pimp hand kept them docile.
* The last time a president ordered US troops into action against Russian grunts was just after the Bolshevik Revolution. Woodrow Wilson sent the Polar Bears to help the Whites against the Reds.
From an advance copy of ‘Art of the Deal with Evil Dictators’ by President Donald J. Trump:
An example of the deal with NK: ‘Nice little country you got here, Kim. Be a shame if became a smoking heap of rubble.’
Later as Putin was dealing with Biden regarding Ukraine, Vlad was heard to say: ‘Trump, you magnificent bastard. I read your book.’
Very informative. Thanks.
During Biden’s SOTU, RSBN replayed Trump’s triumphant SOTU from Jan. 2020. I love that man for his virtuousity in the art of keeping peace in the world. Total respect for his mind and his rectitude.
