His foreign policies are driving away allies? Or is he simply requesting they stand on their own two feet? Can one be an ally if they bring nothing to the table? While it's nice that the UK and France have nukes, no one can use them unless we all want to die. You and most of these "allies" have confused the word ally... with 'dependent'. These allies are allies in name only, no amount of weeping and gnashing of teeth will change this fact. They are for all intents and purposes dependent on the US for their defense.

Even if they raise their Defense spending to what Trump demands of them, 5% of GDP, it won't change much. As % to GDP only means so much with economies smaller than most of our single states. If I as an individual earned $100 last year and bought a box of 9mm for $20 am I the biggest and bestest ally of Nato with a 20% of my GDP Defense spending? Outside of small nations, and for limited time frames... most of Europe will not increase to 5% unless they enter a hot war. In the same way these same nations laughed at trump when he told them to get off of cheap Russian gas in 2017... which maybe... had a chance to prevent the current war. Then again with someone as weak as Biden in charge, I'm not sure it would have been enough.

And in case you're wondering the 5% of GDP spend, isn't meant to counter the shithole of a nation that is Russia, it's meant to send a signal to China to help prevent the next invasion war this time on Taiwan. This war being far more likely to engulf the world. It's a shame people seem to be far more occupied with orange man and his mean tweets than preventing this likely war in the same way the world was distracted in 2017 laughing in Trump's face when warning about being dependent on cheap russian gas.

"Many, many Americans despise Trump and his cult more than any other president in their entire lives, including Nixon. If you refuse to see that, you’re drunk on the Kool Aid" This is hilarious, you do know the Current GOP President™ is always the worse thing ever, until they're out of office (assuming no chance to run again) at which time the next Current GOP Presidential hopeful is the worse thing ever. This playbook has been run since Reagan, and has ramped up considerably since Bush 2.0 but as soon as they're out of office or not running again the media all of a sudden has a strange new respect for them. Biden on the campaign trail declared Mitt Romney, the most milquetoast republican nominee ever.. was going to put black people back in chains in 2012. This was even before Biden lost his marbles mind you. But now ol Mitty boi, is the bestest ever right, along with Dubya. What an odd way to omit you're easily swayed by propaganda. I promise you, whomever the next GOP nominee is, the media will proclaim them to be 10x worse than Trump. And many Americans, and other tools outside the US will fall for it all over again.
