Well, that’s an OPINION piece if one was ever written. Written by people, who may have a good understanding of some kinds of science, but right down near zero understanding of negotiation.
A point that you, bgreene, don’t seem to apprehend is that Trump, while unpleasant in many ways, probably had more actual, real world executive experience than all of the presidents of our lifetimes, combined - unquestionably more business experience. He actually knows how to get things done and got a lot of remarkable things done, in spite of being dishonestly harassed by despicable political hack Democrats and blocked persistently by lawsuits and congressional gridlock.
We pretty much all love fishing and the outdoors, so there are varying degrees of agreement about some of his environmental decisions, but just about everything he did improved the world political situation, e.g. Middle East progress, North Korea, etc., massive improvement in the economy and in-migration of jobs, in spite of media lies that he is a racist, the LOWEST black unemployment in HISTORY, got a vaccine (that you strongly advocate) developed with amazing speed (and Biden and other lying, despicable Democrats said was no good because it was Trump vaccine) - the list goes on. Obama, by comparison had the unmitigated ego to run for the office with a resume lacking executive experience that would qualify him to manage a gas station. Trump actually did an outstanding job.
There looks to be an increased risk of catastrophic war, but it’s down to Biden’s slobbering weakness and incompetence, not to anything Trump did.
