What do you mean by “making an impact”
Th only “impact” Trump cares about are impacts upon himself. His ideology is the ideology of self enrichment. He’s not an ideologue who has any worldview beyond how can I benefit myself as much as I can. He’s doesn’t care about America, its citizens or the constitution.
You dont believe that, i agree hes self serving, but in legacy terms the US post presidency would have to review his actions as serving the US positively.
He has all the money in the world, what do men want when they get to that stage? Its not more money, its something more lasting.
Im not saying Trump is acting selfless, im saying he is establishing his 2nd term as a pro active, no nonsense, non politician, do what needs to be done, while waving a AR15 riding an eagle spraying bullets into the air before landing on a Nascar track bare chested **** ye Murica!!!!!!!!!!
All chains are off, hes shed the pesky checks and balances from term 1, and now can tare through 100 years of expansion and global domination long term planning in 18 months!
These actions are absolutely aligned with American interests dont you think? Deporting millions of illegal immigrants, stamping out Russian and Chinese interests in the Americas, making the middle east interested in trade, and ensuring europe becomes military capable.
You have to remember, every US politician wanted to be the one who got Maduro, Obama deemed him a natiknal security threat, and human rights abuser before sanctioning Venezuela, Biden cleverly gave him an out to legitimacy and offered support, before reimposing harsher sanctions after an illegitimate election, Biden then recognised the opposition leader as president elect, then employed the DEA and CIA in Venezuela as counter narcotics investigations.
The US indicted Maduro in 2020, which would have led to his arresst had he been caught outside of Venezuela, and even Americas countries were attempting to extradict him and arrest, including Columbia, Peru and Argentina, but apparently all attempts were blocked, as were the attempts of Venezuelan officials who wanted the same but had to flea. There are also at least 5 major human rights organisations pushing for his arrest.
So literally everyone locally involved with an ounce of decratic sense wanted him gone, and criminalised, thats why i said they will all condemn the actions and celebrate off camera.
Trump has absolutely completed a job everyone wanted done, they just dislike the way he did it, and i get it, but lets not pretend 20 years from now the world might potentially look back on it like a Batman move, taking the law into his own hands for everyones justice (joke btw dont all freak out lol).
Where i will compliment Bernie, is that hes been very consistent in his words about Maduro, condemned him, but always spoke out against military intervention, refused to legitimise opposition leaders as true leader, and sought a more diplomatic way of dealing with Maduro, which makes him a very good human being, but rubbish politician IMO
