    OK, would you prefer that she just said "yes" ?

    Seems to me that she was offering anecdotes on how positive Biden's presidency has been received overseas, and that naturally she approves of this.

    Try again.

    Your opinion again she can't answer a straight question she can't put a coherent sentence together to be fair

    You don't know why she hasn't visited the southern border yet do you,? just asking for a friend.

    Foreign relations:
    Threatening to withdraw from NATO
    Trying to extort political ammunition from the Ukraine
    Shifting US embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem
    Reneging on Iran nuclear deal
    Withdrawal from Syria (that saw USAF planes bomb US Army bases because they withdrew too fast and before the Russians occupied them)
    The withdrawal from Afghanistan (Biden took the blame, but it was Trump's plan)
    Cosying up to Putin who he called a "genius" shortly after the Russian invasion of the Ukraine
    Cosying up to North Korea

    Environment:
    Withdrawal from Tokyo climate accord

    Economy:
    He boasted that he's eliminate the national debt - instead it grew bigger
    He boasted that he'd close the trade gap - instead it got wider
    He engineered a stupid trade war with China
    He oversaw the steepest economic decline since the great depression - real GDP fell by 9%

    Health:
    Failure to recognize and react to the COVID pandemic, that saw 450,000 Americans die and 22 million job losses
    Each of the four years of his administration saw the CDC's budget slashed


    Trump was a polarizing figure, from labeling African countries "****holes", to labeling immigrants as AIDS infested rapists, spending billions on building a wall that was not only ridiculously ineffective but is actually falling down in places from exposure to the elements
    Trump oversaw a wave of civil unrest
    He sparked outrage by referring to "good people on both sides" after a Neo-Nazi attack on a peaceful demonstration

    And let's not forget that after floating the ideas of suspending the 2020 election because it was "unsafe" to hold it (despite ordering schools to re-open) and allowing presidents to serve as many terms as the liked, he blatantly denied the result of the election
    Trying to coerce the DoJ and Supreme Court to overturn it, trying to get the AG of Georgia to overturn the result in Georgia, launching 50+ lawsuits to get the courts to overturn the election
    Finally trying to coerce his own VP to refuse to ratify the election results and having a direct role in orchestrating an insurrection riot on Jan 6th 2021
    Stealing top secret classified documents - some of which contained nuclear information.

    Is that enough or do you need more ?

    Trump was and is an utter fascist scumbag.

    Not really, might that Aussie TV channel be owned by a certain Rupert Murdoch ?

    You need to revisit many of them, which were bad for America?

    All of them

    But let me ask you, what do you think Trump did, as president, to help Americans ?
    (and by that, I mean all people legally living in the USA, not just the billionaires).

    It looked very much like Fox News USA - owned by Rupert Murdoch.

    So that's a no then, more people haven't died through lockdowns and taking the vaccine.

    The British Gov can do what they want we have our own scheme to compensate the few people (7 deaths as a result of Astra Zeneca) who have been affected by taking a covid vaccine.

    You don't seem to understand and I've told you several times, Dan Andrews doesn't run Australia. He is the state premier of Victoria.

    Foxtel is the satellite/ cable service here, 65% owned by the Murdochs
    Most Australians have Foxtel for the sports coverage.
    Skynews is a right wing biased news segment on this satellite/ cable service and is itself owned by the Murdochs
    Lots of the Newspapers here are owned by the Murdochs
    It sort of makes sense as Murdoch is Australian
    Most people recognise the biased nature of these "news" outlets and ignore
    The Murdoch machine was wanting the Liberals to win the recent Victorian State election

    Andrews remains premier with about the same majority, the guy on the right has resigned as leader of the opposition.
    Paul Murphy, who did the Harris video, is an unapologetic Trump supporter, nothing wrong with that, but in Australia!?
    What's more he is a New South Whaler and so is automatically not a good person.

    Living here and being able to watch this programme, whenever I want, it's my opinion that the sky news australia service is probably the most biased TV news programme I have seen
