    but until we have major problems (physical health, homeless, mental health, etc) solved in the US, I don’t give a fuck about our soft power.

    Oh boy, I think you are in for an awakening, because losing democratic and humanitarian values in general, will make all of that worse too.
    Are you not aware what Nazism does? That’s what you have in USA. If Trump really wanted to solve those problems, he would have the blessings from most countries.

    When did you ever see an authoritarian government care about the weakest in their country?

      This is pathetic and insulting discourse. This thread is about providing aid to other countries. Stay on topic.

        Look at what I responded to To think Trump will improve: (physical health, homeless, mental health, etc). That’s what’s pathetic.
        You have to be a special kind of naive to believe that.

        I like dogging on Trump as much as the next guy, but until we have major problems (physical health, homeless, mental health, etc) solved in the US, I don’t give a fuck about our soft power.

          It’s wild that you pasted my quote in here although you continue to argue against a strawman.

          Only neolibs give a shit about the “soft power” that we get from foreign aid.

            How is it a strawman to call a Nazi what he is? He even allowed Musk Heiling at inauguration, saying NOTHING against it afterwards.
            If you think Trump is not a Nazi, I can’t imagine what it takes to convince you?
