I certainly appreciate where you're coming from. But whereas I've no idea exactly what Biden did during his tenure, Trump's mandate was a nearing constant barrage of WTF proclamations and online logorrhea, with some of his delirium actually affecting me personally and I for one, as a foreigner, like to have quiet, well-behaved neighbours. So if we could have another four years of peace and quiet, that would be nice.
Yes, that would be nice.
That said, for all of the nonsense Trump spewed, his actual changes were pretty mild:
Most of that doesn't impact anyone, except maybe the weakened sanctions against Russia encouraged Putin to invade Ukraine. But that's really hard to say, since the invasion didn't happen until 2 years into Biden's presidency, so it probably would have happened regardless. the trade negotiations were mostly directed at Asian trade partners (mostly China).
He was a terrible president, yes, but most of the impact to regular people was him spewing rhetoric on social media. I honestly just ignored that noise and was relatively happy during his presidency (and the tax cuts were nice).
