It goes without saying that Donald Trump did enormous damage to Americas global reputation. He spent four years in office coddling dictators and alienating our historic, democratic allies. Joe Biden, who probably has half of the worlds leaders on speed dial, acknowledged this fact and promised to rectify it. Well be back. Well be back, he promised a group of diplomats and foreign policy experts in Munich in 2019.
Well, WERE BACK, and the free world is undoubtedly and understandably relieved.
In his first, 2019 speech as a candidate for President, Biden laid out his vision for restoring Americas traditional alliances and blasted Trump for injuring the nations integrity and reputation:
He has alienated us, Biden said of Trump on Thursday. Bidens alternative largely involved a return to traditional American principles such as the promotion of democracy and cooperation with allies. Instead of focusing exclusively on the United States unilateral interests, he spoke of a return to spreading American values.
