Biden's foreign policy record gives Trump ammunition ahead of debate

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are expected to square off in the first presidential debate of the 2024 election next Thursday and Trump appears poised to hammer his opponent on foreign affairs.

The pair negotiated their participation in the debate over a string of social media challenges to one another and have circumvented the Commission on Presidential Debates, which has traditionally managed the contests. Foreign policy is expected to feature prominently in the discussion amid the backdrop of conflicts in Europe, the Middle East, and rising tensions in the Pacific.

Trump, for his part, has long cast himself as a peacemaker in contrast to Biden’s interventionist approach to global affairs and is likely to press the incumbent commander-in-chief about the uptick in global tensions under his watch.

During the Trump administration, Washington attempted a diplomatic rapprochement with North Korea, sought to foster friendly relations between Israel and its neighbors, and negotiated a withdrawal agreement with the Afghan government and the Taliban. 

Under his successor, however, most of those developments have either been stalled or upended, with conflicts erupting across those regions, potentially handing Trump considerable ammunition against Biden in the debate. The campaign, for his part, has been clear that Trump will use it.

“President Trump will contrast his strong record on the world stage that encouraged peace around the world with Joe Biden's weakness that has emboldened our adversaries, weakened our allies, and led to war from Ukraine to the Middle East,” Trump Campaign National Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told Just the News.

North Korea

Known colloquially as the “Hermit Kingdom,” North Korea has been a geopolitical pariah for decades, maintaining formal relations with a limited number of strategic partners and attracting international concern over its nuclear program and bellicose rhetoric towards its southern counterpart.

“Biden’s foreign policy record gives Trump ammunition ahead of debate”

Other than the handful of Zeepers infesting this country, Biden bringing us to the precipice of World War 3 should DEFINITELY move voters to Trump.

Biden’s foreign policy is about to get a reality check.

American foreign policy since Obama (I was in the Department of State when it happened) has been essentially F**K Y*U We Will Do As We Please - it’s time to bitch slap the liberals senseless. We have shoved the LGBT down everyone’s throats, and unlimited immigration into the West, we have destroyed countries that would not use the USD in trade.

Now Brics is going to be backed by Gold.

American’s are going to now live thru a period of time in which the USSR saw in 1991, that the Brit’s saw in 1947, that the French saw in 1919. We have over reached.

No questions will ever be asked that will present Trump in a good light. I can see the questions now:

1) How does it feel to be a felon?

2) Joe, how does it feel to run against a felon?

etc.

No wars on my watch. Biden debacles in Yemin, Israel, Afghanistan and Ukraine. The Rise of Brics. Printing 1T a month in 2024, and 1T per quarter since Biden was elected.

Oh, and Jake Sullivan, Lloyd Austin, and Anthony “guitar hero” Blinken will be replaced.

Shut down the Dept of Educ.
