All I know is that Biden has successfully blundered his way through to the nearest we have ever come to WW3. His diplomatic team have been hopeless regarding the Middle East--now a tinder box--- and Russia/Ukraine. He has also failed to rein in Jong Un and Iran. China has become more confident by the day regarding Taiwan--another crisis waiting to happen. I doubt Trump will be successful in taming them all, but the world was a more peaceful place during his last Presidency, and in no small part to his ability to be able to talk to people. Cuddling up to Putin wont be pretty, but if it stops war, pretty isn't an option.

Yes it is curious that Trump can persuade so many he is a man of action, not talk. When he is 95% talk.

Words can be very useful but also can be used negatively.
Trump says a lot but tends to do less in reality - look at his previous Presidency. Nowhere near as bad as we all feared.
He knows how to manipulate.
You are right he did little in his first 4 years but go golfing.He did give huge tax cuts to the very rich and of course sky rocketed government debt. No fence was ever built nor did Mexico pay anything.
What is odd is seeing his deluded hard core followers who seem to think he delivered Christmas every day yet they can rarely point to a thing he did.
But we now have a co-president in Elon Musk and some really weird and wacky appointments.
This will be a very rocky 4 years and I now think he will be even worse than Biden was with Gaza and give the hideous Netanyahu a green light to be far worse.

It says more about media - "Trump vows" says the BBC headline - "Trump will look at" says the story.
I'm no Trump fan but far less a media fan.
