My rational side wants to see Harris win, but the anarchist in me wants to see Trump win, just to see what would happen. Not living in the US, obviously.

Trump winning could be a disaster for the whole world since US is such a major player in basically everything, but my anarchist side does not listen.

Would U.S.A. foreign policy be drastically affected by who becomes the president?
As a non-American, I think it'd have more impact on the people of the U.S.A and maybe immediate neighbours like Mexico.

I don’t know, to quote someone I read here: “The world shits when the US farts”

US electing an authoritarian might encourage authoritarians all around the world (even more)

That maybe a consequence but US foreign policy might improve or remain unchanged under Trump.

Haha, u kidding?

They will improve with authoritarians, where Trump can personally benefit from.

For everyone else it will worsen and set global policies back by at least one decade.

Improve in the sense it will stop butting it's nose everywhere.

Let’s see, Israel kills all Palestinians, Russia takes over Ukraine, then North Korea and China initiate actions against South Korea and Taiwan. You have an unusual definition of improve.

Israel will kill Palestinians no matter who comes to power in US. Maybe if Israel doesnt pay him personally anything he might reduce their supplies. If they pay him as they pay all the other politicians it will be business as usual.

At least there would be a chance that spineless and derelict UN will fall.

Trump said he will let Israel “finish the job”. STFU.

I agree Biden now n Harris if she comes next won't overtly support Israel like Trump. They will just send them arms n ammunition as usual while giving soundbites against them.
