Military Might
President Trump built up the strength of the American military when he was in office, expanding military spending and even creating a new branch of the armed forces, the Space Force.
In 2020, National Interest reported that President Trump requested a whopping $740 billion for national defense as a part of his ongoing bipartisan defense buildup. Military aircraft readiness was projected to increase under Trump and the Naval fleet was slightly expanded. Their report additionally pointed out that Trump’s administration worked to fortify nuclear defenses, developed a new line of ballistic-missile submarines, and hypersonic missiles and AI defense systems were improved.
Trump was additionally known as the “President of Peace.” He achieved stunning success in his diplomatic endeavors ranging from the historic Abraham Accords (between the State of Israel, the U.S. and the UAE) to his ability to maintain peace with the volatile North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un.
Biden, by contrast, has weakened the U.S. military. Under his leadership, the military has displaced service members due to astringent Covid-related vaccine requirements, which has resulted in the discharge of countless men and women in uniform.
Even worse, the U.S. military is now struggling to meet its 2022 recruiting goal, according to NBC. Only a reported 9 percent of Americans 17-24 are interested in serving.

In less than two years, war in Eastern Europe has erupted between Russia and Ukraine – all on Biden’s watch.
Trump’s bold, unflinching America First diplomatic approach to dealing with foreign nations kept the U.S. safe and secure when he was in office.
“This is something that should have never happened; this would not have happened during my administration,” Trump reminded Americans during an interview on Fox News in February. “…It’s a very sad thing for the world, for the country, and it’s certainly sad for a lot of people that are going to be needlessly killed.”
