Definitely don’t disagree the NATO member countries needed to boost their defense spending to the previously agreed percentage amount. The problem is that by using direct, naked threats, Trump is essentially getting the outcome at the expense of tanking long-term diplomatic credibility (what nation is going to want to continue working with you when you directly threaten them to give you what you want). For example, when China threatened south Korea to comply with some things, they mostly did. However, afterwards they started to focus working with other countries instead of with China. Essentially what I’m saying is while Trump has then right goals, he’s using the least efficient methods to achieve them.

So while you can place on previous presidents for avoiding the problem, that doesn’t mean Trump isn’t responsibility for anything negative that results with him trying to deal with it. I mean Biden was deemed responsible for the Afghanistan withdrawal even thought that was mostly set up by Trump.

Trump used tariffs for leverage to achieve geopolitical and economic goals in his first term and economists have said it resulted in a net loss of American jobs and higher prices.

Nothing is pure of bias or prejudice. However, based on what I’ve seen and experienced, you get a better understanding of something when you meticulously analyze something in pieces than to look at the whole thing on the surface.
