The Left's Reaction

Now that Biden is facing a full-blown foreign policy crisis, it's worth reviewing how the left reacted during similar moments in the Trump Administration. The left was so determined to destroy Donald Trump that even on foreign policy issues they undermined the only president we had every opportunity they had. 

 

When Trump confronted North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, the left set its hair on fire screaming that he was going to get us into a nuclear war.

 

When Trump confronted communist China, the left fretted that he might start a nuclear war.

 

When Trump took out Iranian terror mastermind Gen. Soleimani, the entire political left attacked him. They accused him of war crimes and of triggering a massive war in the Middle East.

 

We even discovered that former Secretary of State and Biden ally John Kerry was undermining American foreign policy by urging the mullahs of Iran to just hold on until the left was back in power and able to appease Tehran again, which Biden is doing right now.

 

When Trump moved the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, something previous presidents had promised to do but never did, the left insisted that the "Muslim world will erupt in violence" triggering a massive war. It didn't happen.

 

When Trump warned our European allies that they had better take their NATO financial obligations seriously, the left accused him of undermining our alliance and alienating our allies. (NATO nations who share a border with Russia, however, are grateful for Trump's leadership.)

 

When Trump had a phone call with the president of Ukraine, liberals impeached him! But keep in mind that Trump gave Ukraine lethal weapons that Obama/Biden wouldn't.

 

The left attacked and undermined everything Trump tried to do, and in doing so, they undermined a grand tradition of our Republic – politics ends at the water's edge. 

 

So, all the rules about unity and bipartisanship in foreign policy were shredded by the left.
