I already explained how that term works in the Biblical sense, and it fits the act of retaliation. I also discussed the effect Trump's trolling has. Miscommunication, which promotes confusion, fear and hatred. It feeds leftist narratives of him as a wannabe dictator, narcissist and even psychopath. It strengthens ordinary people's perceptions of the leftist narratives as truthful. It doesn't matter that MAGA fans, a very small minority in world terms, react like this :

Yes but there is a large group of people in all countries that are neither MAGA fans nor outright lefties, and some of Trump's actions have boosted the left in many places. It's possible to agree with visions of his and still think that they have been poorly executed.

Now we are worried about what the world thinks? Let me say it louder since so many are far away. I. DONT. CARE. WHAT. THEY. THINK. As far as agreeing or disagreeing with Trump's execution. I tend to trust the process. I can see what he is doing, and the results and things are pretty good right now. Even the situation with NIH that affects me directly. Two of my coworkers will be laid off because of cuts. On the surface, that is horrible! I don't want to see people lose their jobs, but they worked on a project that never got off the ground. He has had no work other than attending a 15-minute meeting once a week for more than three years. Why should federal funds pay someone not to work? My division director is trying to get funding from other sources to keep him, which I think should have been done years ago. As for me, I'm supporting two more faculty members, and I do it gladly. We will all get through this.

That's a muslim idea, that the unbelievers are evil so therefore it's okay to lie to them, obfuscate issues etc. Which inevitably makes the world a worse place. The teachings of Jesus are different.

Oh, get over yourself already. At this point, you're just arguing to argue. I will reiterate once again, because apparently I'm still not being heard. I DO NOT GIVE A GOOD GOSH DARN WHAT THE WORLD THINKS. I never have. I do not believe what I hear, but I do believe what I see, and I see things getting better.

Thanks the same to you, Susan.

Susan, I think you covered it all with the phrase, "trust the process." It's going to take some time to dismantle the old, corrupt system and rebuild something that actually works for the majority and causes the country, the continent and the world to prosper. Trump definitely has influence all over the world.
