"Trump perfectly represents the sprouting authoritarianism that most often accompanies nationalism"

How? Its a fun statement to say but hasnt he been repealing laws instead of just piling them on. With Covid some were shouting at him for not imposing a national lockdown (dont think the president can) but then condemning him for the rulers of some states refusing to open up (even after Trump asked them to)?

Under Trump Israel and Bahrain and UAE have improving relations. ISIS got a whacking. Russia/US relations improved after the Syria situation inherited from Obama. The Iran deal which Iran was breaking was finally dropped for being a sham. A fair swing was made at diplomacy with N.Korea.

As for in the US the economy has performed better than under Obama who called low growth the new normal. Obama hit by recession performed worse than Trump and Covid yet Biden praised Obama's economy and complains about Trumps (yeah its politics I know). He reclassified nuclear waste that is harmless as such.

If he was authoritarian the riots wouldnt have gone on so long when Democrats preferred to pose with BLM instead of protecting citizens. Trump offers them help but the feds step in when federal property is being destroyed.

He is the least authoritarian authoritarian I can think of.
