Yeah, and lies matter. The lies that Trump spews matter to the people dumb enough to believe them.
But don't call it "optics." That's a euphemism. Call it what it is: lies and bullshit for people dumb enough to blindly believe what their televisions and curated news feeds want them to believe. That's what political campaigns are - emotionally manipulative garbage to emotionally manipulate the ignorant.
They do. But do you know what matters more? US weapons and US soft power. The US military being really large. The government is a lot more than the president. If the policies are right then it doesn't matter too much about who is the president.
It might be embarrassing for Americans but that's about it. Policy is the important thing.
