In the absurd soap opera that is international politics, one question looms larger than the rest: when will President Trump put an end to Vladimir Putin treating him like the less-than-competent alternative known as Joe Biden? The narrative perpetuated by the left suggests that Trump is coddled by Putin, but watching the two juggle their relationship reveals more about the media’s bias than any supposed “collusion” between the former president and the Russian leader.
The current debate continues to swirl like a tornado around Trump’s dealings with Putin, hence drawing comparisons to Biden’s policies, which have been nothing short of disastrous. One would think that a real statesman would stand strong against the Kremlin, but the left seems more interested in painting Trump as a puppet than examining how thoroughly Biden has been outmaneuvered on the world stage. From energy independence to military strength, the contrast between Trump and Biden could not be more clear.
Time for Trump to show Putin he’s not dealing with Sleepy Joe Biden anymore https://t.co/oiwhFcL8bQ

Since taking office, Biden has allowed Putin to take the lead, effectively untying the leash on many of Russia’s ambitions. Instead of standing up to foreign adversaries, Biden seems eager to yield. Meanwhile, their favorite comparison figure, Trump, is being caught in the media crossfire designed to frame him in the worst light possible. The truth is that under Trump’s administration, relationships with foreign powers were kept in check—not out of fear but through a combination of strength and respect.
The so-called analysts would have the American public believe that Trump’s approach to Russia is akin to the soft, cuddly tactics employed by the current administration. This is false. Trump promoted peace through strength, which Putin recognized—and respected. The clear dichotomy is that Biden’s policies invite aggression, while Trump’s would have sent a clear message that America doesn’t get pushed around. This is the primary concern: leadership matters, and the contrast between how each president manages international relation is stark.
If only the media focused less on spinning narratives and more on establishing the facts, perhaps they’d give the public a clearer picture of how Trump’s approach dwarfs Biden’s glaring mishaps. Instead of worrying about the whims of a Russian dictator, attention should focus on why America, under Biden, finds itself in a geopolitical mess that could only—ahem—be improved by an America First agenda. Ultimately, the question isn’t about how Trump is perceived by Putin, but rather how Biden keeps letting America play second fiddle on the world stage.
