Unironically, I think Trump was much better for Europe and the world. Unlike the presidents before and after him, he didn't initiate new wars. He was simply a humorously inept administrator of American decline. In terms of internal politics and policy, Biden is continuing much of what Trump started (such as confronting China, immigration policies, etc); the rest of the political theater is just what it appears to be – a theater. The disparity between Trump and Biden isn't as substantial as the mainstream press suggests, nor as significant as the zealous followers of both camps believe.
tl;dr:
Biden swooping in to bomb Nordstream-2 and render Europe dependent on expensive us lng imports was not one I saw coming. The sheer faithless depravity of the us political class is still shocking sometimes.
Trump is one of the best US presidents for the world but he did almost start a war with Iran after the Soleimani assassination
