If you want to see misuse of the presidency, just look at all the lives that Biden took by funding Ukraine. Trump only brought about peace.
Of course, the President has limited powers if Congress wants to stop him. He's not a king, you know.
I am not suggesting he is a king or he is supposed to be a king. But keeping that to one side, I would like to know how funding is supposed to work when comes to aiding the allies of the United States abroad and around the world. Let us assume there is some kind of attack on some USA ally in the Americas or in Europe and they are asking for funding so they can defend themselves easily. Who is supposed to be the one in DC taking the decisions on how much is supposed to be given away for them?
You would probably argue that your country should not intervene with those regional conflicts going on in other places, that would imply you are okey with China wagering war against anyone of USA allies, I am not explicitly talking about Russia.
Would be the house of representatives, the senate, both the VP and the President together? What would be the fairest thing to do with the money of the people of the United States to help to defend others?
Good politics. And thank you for agreeing with me.
The question is, who is supposed to make the decisions about using US money to help out foreign countries? You are probably right that it is a job for Congress and the President. So, let's look at what happened and what would have happened in Ukraine.
If the US had not given money, etc., to Ukraine, the war would have been over in two months. There would have been deaths, but relatively few when compared with how many there have been. Additionally, the land of Ukraine would not have been destroyed; many of the architectural artifacts would still be standing.
I agree that the government of the US has the duty to keep the peace in the world, at least at times. So, why didn't they in Ukraine? Biden's blundering stupidity, and that of Congress, has totally wasted Ukraine far more than Russia ever would have if they were allowed to do their police action in 'peace'. I'd say that Biden and Congress totally knew what they were doing, and they purposely killed Ukraine.
Trump didn't do anything like that. But you think Trump's the bad guy... because he likes peace?
