Thanks for your interest in the topic, Joseph. You're quite right that America's schools are mostly horrible. There's blame to go around for US education's shortcomings. The billionaire oligarchs who own our politicians and judges bear the lion's share of the blame. They wanted a population that's easy to lead around by the nose. They fear that an educated and armed electorate would lead them to the guillotine for their constant push to rig the game further in their favor. What they want is an underclass just smart enough to run their machines but dumb enough to do so for a shrinking share of the profits; Trump was just another billionaire in that mix. He did nothing to fix education because leaving it broken served his interest.

Trump was as bellicose as they come, hardly a peacemaker. I don't know if Trump was a Russian asset or not, but I do know he did his best to deliver Putin's wet dreams. He tried to wreck NATO. Pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal deprived us of the UN Weapons Inspectors and left us blind to any nuclear program they may launch. Regarding Ukraine, Trump would have facilitated Russia's land grab unopposed.

What evidence do you see suggesting Biden wants to invade Iran? That was one war Trump would be much more likely to declare than Biden.

I wish I could argue against your last point, but I cannot. America's always had too many problems for MAGA to be a coherent description of our past. But it was once great for cis white land-owing males back when women couldn't vote and blacks were considered agricultural machinery.
