What specific policies of Trump's appeal to you in those areas? Particularly national security and foreign affairs?
For national security, a lot of it is securing the southern border. It does have some ties to foreign affairs, part of that is Trump's (relative) strength as a negotiator with world powers. He doesn't get everything he wants all the time, but he is feared to a degree by many leaders, which is important when some of those leaders are our enemies, and he understands how to use leverage in circumstances such as negotiating the release of American hostages from foreign soil. I will say that Trump isn't as good at negotiating as I would like, but at least he has a positive track record on that front, whereas Kamala Harris can't even negotiate the support of the Teamsters lol
Feared by world leaders? They think Trump's a joke. He's literally Putin's patsy.
If Trump actually cared about securing the border, why did he call Republicans in congress to vote against the border bill that they wrote? Biden was willing to sign it into law until they killed their own bill.
Because it hard arbitrary provisions that would have essentially allowed Joe Biden to pause the border restrictions at his discretion. The assumption was that he would sign the "we fixed the border" bill, then pause restrictions, and act like he did something, and the Republicans weren't willing to give him that optic W.
Could you show where it says that?
https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/2
Because I read it there is nothing that says the president could pause border restrictions.
I lost the link, I had it once and have shared it here when someone else had a similar question. It's been memory holed but if I find it again I'll send it to you.
??? I gave you the link above. You can read it and show me where it says the President can stop the bill.
I'm sorry, you think that Trump is feared by America's enemies? My friend, your enemies are the people he spent the most time cosying up to. He openly admires Kim Jong Un and Vladimir Putin for being autocratic dictators. He pals around with Saudi princes. On the other hand he almost irreparably damaged US relations with its closest allies. The world is only "scared" of Trump in the sense that they're scared of how damage his constant blundering will cause on the world stage.
Also, how is the southern border in any way relevant to national security? Mexico is your ally. Do you think that the cartels are preparing to invade Texas?
-Before the debate-
Trump's campaign: Harris is going to try to bait you during the debate, don't fall for it.
Harris' campaign: we are going to bait Trump during the debate and he is going to fall for it.
Everyone: Harris is going to bait Trump.
-At the debate-
Trump: OMG LOOK AT ALL THIS BAIT! NOMNOMNOM!
Someone that predictable and easily manipulated is your "strong negotiator"?
