NW Iowa | Global politics would probably make more sense to us commoners if we could see the whole picture. This is not anything unique to Trump (although I grant that he certainly put his own flavor into everything he does). The general public never fully knows what's going on and ultimately this is probably for the better. So we see things like this Venezuela deal, and the word is we grabbed him because he had narcotics charges against him in the US. And that's probably true but almost certainly only a part of the reason. Is it tied to something about China? Iran? Russia? All of the above? Then immediately after we have that guy, this Greenland situation is back in the news again and we hadn't heard anything about it for a long time. There's probably a way to correctly connect all these dots, but we can't connect them.
All presidents operate this way, because they're sending messages to other particular world leaders. They're speaking a language that regular people like us can't understand very much of because we can't see very much of the whole picture. Throw in alot of noise on social media about all of it, add a pinch of intentional propaganda from federal governments, and the most logical conclusion is that Trump, or Biden or Obama or Bush or Reagan they're all idiots out of their minds that have no idea what they're doing. Likely false.
