The Afghanistan withdrawal was a politically efficient method of getting the withdrawal done outside an election campaign. But damn it, did it ever feel like something Trump would have done... granted, Trump didn't actually leave Afghanistan, he just gave the country to the Taliban... which Biden said handcuffed him, though it really didn't. But Biden wanted finality and expediency. It was a politically shrewd maneuver.
The USPS is probably the biggest one, where Trump put a private sector guy in charge who has connections with private deliveries and the USPS is announcing it is going to get suckier and more expensive.
The Biden White House is supporting Trump's claim that defaming a private citizen is part of the job. Yes, this is much less supporting Trump that the institution of the White House defending itself, but still, the claim is absurd.
Haitian migrants. Goodness, the press would have been a bit harsher in coverage over the Haitian migrants if that were Trump. Granted, this is more complicated of a situation, as these Haitians fled Chile and other South American countries, not Haiti. And the US has a tremendous amount of Haitians already in the US, on overdue stays from the earthquake quite a while ago. But still... if Trump were President.
Finally, the military deal to bump out France with Australia seems kind of Trumpish. Granted, a true Trump would have fucked both Australia and France.
Now, it ain't all bad, by a long shot. In its simplest improvement, it is nice not having a President shitting on Twitter... Tweeting while shitting... every fucking day, whining about how unfair shit is for him. But I can't help but feel, at times, things have not turn completely around from the hell that was the Trump Administration.
