Uh okay, that goes both ways though. You've made a ton of claims in this thread already with no attempt at proving them in great detail.
Cite these claims if the burden of proof falls on you for all of them:
I'm not sure of which "perfectly legit" treaty you speak. Is it the one that allows Iran to continue and even increase nuclear weapons R&D (per the boxes of evidence acquired by Mossad and released by President Netinyahu)? Or the one that allows every country in the world to expand their industrial pollution a million fold, using US tax dollars, while forcing the US to return to horse-and-buggy days and pay the rest of the world to increase pollution?
"Trump's going to start a nuclear war" Twice now he has taken steps to prevent one. "Trump's going to make America the laughing stock of the world." No. That was President Obama who went on a world apology tour, bowed to dictators, and paid off hostage takers.
President Trump's approval rating is higher than President Obama's was at this same point in his tenure. And President Truymp's approval rating is still rising while President Obama's was falling at this point in his administration.
And yet unemployment overall in America is at a all time low, Unemployment among African American males is at an all time low, Unemployment among Hispanics is at an all time low
for all their best efforts for over a year, the only Russian collusion to be found is a candidate paying a law firm which in turn paid a PR firm which then paid a former KGB operative to write a report using Russian sources to fabricate a fake dossier. When this dossier was complete, the dossier was used to get a FISA warrant by presenting the uncollaborated, totally fabricated dossier as fact. Even if tis "investigation" wasnt hatched in lies and built on misinformation, the fact that it has goone for over a year and failed to prove a single shred of evidence should be enough to convinve any person of at least average intelligence that an investigation means nothing until it proves something.
Tariffs are a tax on imports. Dropping tariffs makes the countries (Europe, Asia, Canada, etc.) exporting to the US happy. It's raising tariffs to balance out the long standing trade deficit the US has had with these countries that is ticking them off.
Every businessman understands that 5 in 10 startups fail in the first 3 years and 8 in 10 fail in the first 10 years. That's a 50% and 20% success rate, respectively. You focus on Trump's 7 in 36 failures and conveniently ignore his 29 in 36 successes. That's an 81% sucess rate.
You pulled this entire post out of your head without citing it as well
Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan, all of which I have already addressed showing them to be defensive. But since you obviously werent paying attention, let me go through it again in greater detail.
Syria: Retaliation for the use of lethal gas weapons on Syrian people by the Syrian Government. That's defense of the oppressed citizens. It's not colonialization, imperialism, nor were there any resources obtained or even obtainable.
Iraq 1: Retaliation against Iraq for invading our Ally, Kuwait. That's defense of an ally. It's not colonialization nor imperialism. We did acquire some oil and gas feilds, but it would have been much easier and less expensive for us to access our own untapped reserves.
Iraq 2: Retaliation against Saddam Hussein for using lethal gas weapons against Kurds and for supporting terrorist organizations. That's defense of the oppressed citizens and defending ourselves against terrorist attacks. It's not colonialization nor imperialism. We did acquire some oil and gas feilds, but it would have been much easier and less expensive for us to access our own untapped reserves.
Afgahnistan: REtaliation against the Taliban for too many human rights violations and oppressions to list. and for supporting terrorist organizations. That's defense of the oppressed citizens and defending ourselves against terrorist attacks. It's not colonialization nor imperialism. To the best of my knowledge, tere were no resaources obtained nor obtainable in or from Afghanistan. Certainly none that we couldnt get faster, cheaper, and easier within our own borders.
All of those recent "invasions" were defensive actions in one form or another. But keep trying to make America look like global bullies, thugs, and rabble rousers.
