Which friends does America have with Trump in office though? UK, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan? He wants to continue the trade war with EU and has repeatedly stayed he wants the US to get out of NATO. So by voting for Trump you will vote for further isolation and the US will push the EU to China and India.

Yeah, the "Restore our standing in the world and American leadership abroad" point of Trump is pretty much the reverse of what will happen with him in power. Unless he means to restore the situation from before the 1880's, where the US where still considered as mostly insignificant by the european powers.

Yeah the "Restore our standing in the world and American leadership abroad" part made me do a double take.

He was adamant about alienating most of USA's natural allies. And since people (including world leaders caught on tape) commonly see him as not particularly bright, to put it mildly, it lead to situations such as when world leaders at the U.N. assembly couldn't hold in their laughter when he was bragging in his speech.

Biden not being all there in the head is also not a great look, but it's still a far cry from the Trump era where he notoriously barely even read intelligence briefings.

When Trump was in office no new wars the US got involved in. Took money away from ISIS to let them fold. With Biden it's the same wars everywhere again, designed to be perpetual, to keep the weapons industry going. For world peace I think Trump is better.

No doubt because USA were already active participants in too many wars at the time that had not reach a conclusion.
It almost looked like he intentionally wanted to start one with Iran, with the nuclear inspections issue and the drone strike assassination of one of their major generals.
