Thanks, Trump, you disgusting asshole. You must be really proud of how far behind you have put us

I don't think any of us can imagine how far behind the 8 ball that Trump has put the Biden Administration. The pandemic aside, Biden will have to play catch-up after being 4 years behind on the world stage all because of a monumental disaster named Donald J Trump. While Trump has been playing golf and completely ignoring the rest of the world for 4 full years, the heavyweights have been taking full advantage.

China has been making trade deals with other countries giving them a huge economic lift and a big advantage over the United States, since the United States hasn't even been out there competing on behalf of our country, thanks to Trump. For example....

"Still, the agreement is considered a geopolitical victory for China, since it helps the regional giant formalize and strengthen links with other countries in Asia and potentially step into an economic vacuum created by President Donald Trump’s protectionist withdrawal of the U.S. from global free trade agreements."

Russia of all countries is out there brokering peace deals and Putin is getting all kinds of credit for it and boosting his shitty reputation by taking full advantage of our absence in such affairs....

"What is very important for the Kremlin is the diminished role of the West, which was mainly self-inflicted by the lack of focus” under US President Donald Trump, Alexander Gabuev, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Moscow Center, told AFP."

And then there's the hole Trump put us into with his fucked up it's all a hoax attitude towards the global efforts on climate control.

Add to those few examples the thousands of other issues going on in the world without the United State being involved the last 4 years, and still it's hard to get a grasp on how far behind we are, thanks to Trump.

So now, besides the out of control pandemic and the disastrous effects it has left on our economy and our people that Team Biden has to get to work on immediately, thanks to that useless lazy bastard Trump doing zero about it, we also have to somehow catch up on the world stage after Trump put us a full 4 years behind. All I gotta say is Team Biden sure has their work cut out for them, and I just hope that this country has enough patience to give them a fighting chance to pull off what will probably take a miracle.

Biden and Harris will have all of that to deal with, and as we speak Trump is still trying to pull off an illegal coup to remain in power with his lame attempts to overthrow the results of a democratic election.
