From a foreigner's perspective, one is tempted to say Americans would get what they deserve, except it's not only the US he'd be fucking up for four years, but also the rest of the world.
Seriously? What precisely did Trump "fuck up"? The US was at peace, foreign nations were wary of doing anything that might set off "madman Trump" and US foreign policy was actually effective. Trump started the Abraham Accords, which were substantive steps to peace in the Middle East. At the same time, he denied Iran any access to cash and killed Soleimani, which, although Iran was incensed, it didn't dare retaliate for.
I'm sure all the Europeans are angry he forced them to contribute to NATO as they were supposed to and was friendly with Putin. However, we see the results of pushing Putin into China's arms and simultaneously failing to properly build military capabilities inside NATO right now.
By contrast, Biden has overseen a disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan that almost certainly emboldened US adversaries and potential adversaries, a botched NATO strategy that encouraged Russia to invade Ukraine, a rudderless policy on the Middle East that seems intent on pissing off everyone and accomplishing nothing, and a southern border that is wide open, letting in millions of illegal aliens who are now murdering and raping innocent Americans in record numbers.
HOW CAN YOU SAY WITH A STRAIGHT FACE THAT TRUMP IS THE ONE WHO WOULD FUCK THINGS UP???
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.
