| Non-American here. This is how I expect media to describe the US External Politics If President is Democrat: * If President Raises Military Expenditure: "he is helping protect the people of the world from tyrant governments" * If President Lowers Military Expenditure: "we cant afford this many wars, we must instead focus on our own problems, we must focus on (insert recent catastrophe, that's inevitable in the US like a wild fire in the West Coast or a tornado in the East Coast)" If President is Republican: * If President Raises Military Expenditure: "he is being imperialist, we don't want this blood in our hands" * If President Lowers Military Expenditure: "he is letting the tyrants like him do their bidding, remember the little kids in Africa, if we don't step in, who will?"
