I used to give him the benefit of the doubt (and I still kinda do cause he is anti war and actually trying to fix things on that end) but I realise now is he really is a child in a suit with nuclear codes who thinks business like dealings can solve political problems. In a way I suppose he is right, these things could be transactional to avoid conflict but he really lost me with the shit show with the Ukrainian president a few months back. Tact is not his thing, he has no foresight and can not plan anything past the immeadiate future and he just looks yo be doing well but is constantly kicking many cans down the road so he can blame the problems he didn't fix or caused on the next admistration. The patterns in this behaviour are now obvious in his second run.

Anyway, I have taken vow not to get involved in the news or politics but just wanted to add my two cents quickly here.

He is not anti war and never was.  Military spending got massive boosts in both of his terms.  If you are anti war you cut the military budget.  He also used way more drone strikes than Obama did in his first term.

Trump triples Obama’s drone strike rate

He currently wants to start a war with Venezuela and Iran.   

And he vetoed a peace plan for Gaza at the UN. Even Germany, who normally totally supports Israel, was in favor of it!
