    This is bad, real bad. When the destructive tentacles of American progressive left wing liberalism brainwashes people on the other side of the planet into not believing their own ears, all I can say is we’re doomed.

    I have not troubled to read the 9 pages of posts on this topic. I am assuming this was mocked and ridiculed mercilessly.

    Good job all of you!

    I knew you could not back your claims up Counsellor, whereas I have. More troops perished under Humpty* than under Biden (so far.) "Like he did."

    he claimed none did.
    he claimed his son died overseas
    he claimed that billionaires only pay an 8% income tax rate
    he claimed he graduated in the top of his law school class

    he lies constantly and unlike Trump,he has the mental acuity of an overcooked turnip

    No he most certainly did not, even in American English. "Like" is a comparative term.

    I have not researched the other items except that I agree he did not graduate in the top HALF of his Law School as he claimed he did.

    As to his acuity, I'd rate that way above a moron* who talks about Hannibal Lecter, and sharks/batteries, planes in the War of Independence (and he was actually reading that from a Teleprompter) and the list is endless, etc etc etc.

    It is appalling that the USA offers the Planet no say in which of those two gets to be the Leader of the Free World, and no better choice to its own Citizens. Unfortunately, a Biden trumps a Humpty* I'd rather have a drover's dog.

    It's a very poor sentence grammatically, but the "like he did" is a comparison with Trump's record. Difficult to confirm or otherwise whether he is saying that no troops died on his watch. You can even conclude from that sentence that he is saying that no troops died during Trump's time if you put the comma after the word "world".

    when I hear someone who is not a US citizen preferring one sort of politician to lead OUR country over another-it's akin to walking into court and hearing the party I am suing, express happiness with my choice of an attorney

    The President that is elected does have an impact on other countries which basically translates into why a non-US citizen might prefer one politician over another. The actions that an American President takes can significantly impact other countries’ standard of living and economies. Some key areas that matter to other countries are trade policy decisions, foreign aid and assistance, diplomacy and alliances, and climate and energy policies. The interconnectedness of economies means presidential decisions ripple beyond the US borders.

    Yes, troops did die during Biden's presidency. Your lack of sentence structure comprehension is your problem, not mine. Just admit you are wrong and move on.

    You seem to be struggling with "doesn’t have any" and "any troops dying anywhere in the world".

    Here, let me help you out some more. Below is a link to a sentence explainer and the results of Biden's sentence.

    "The text is comparing the speaker's military record to that of someone else, likely a previous president. Let's break it down:
    - **"I'm the only president..."**: The speaker is claiming to be unique among presidents.
    - **"...this century..."**: They are limiting the comparison to presidents in the current century.
    - **"...this decade..."**: Further narrowing it down to presidents during the current decade.
    - **"...that doesn’t have any — any troops dying anywhere in the world..."**: This means no American soldiers have died in combat during the speaker's presidency.
    - **"...like he did..."**: This refers to the previous president, suggesting that soldiers died in combat under their leadership.
    **Simplified Meaning:** The speaker is saying that, unlike the previous president, no American soldiers have been killed in war during their presidency."

    generally I see us in competition with other countries-so when another country's residents want someone to be our president, I assume it is for the good of their country, and not mine

    what You seem to miss is that foreigners complaining about our leadership does nothing to denigrate our leaders because we don't know exactly what motivates the dislike. Normally it is due to other nations' citizens not wanting US Primacy

    I can only speak for myself and what motivates my dislike of Humpty* ought to be blindingly obvious, and it has zero to do with US primacy!

    Nope. So far you've offered nothing but your baseless opinion. You're mistaken as I have proven numerous times now and you keep doubling down on your ignorance of sentence structure. Not only have I provided my analysis but I have also provided links to sentence structure analysis websites. Keep denying. lol

    I agree, it's grammatically poor and I'm not saying Biden meant what he said but the sentence structure as it is indicates no troops died during his presidency.

    You are ignoring the speaker who was, in no way, trying to speak grammatically, and certainly not according to your Hoyle, 'egnovate.' He was clearly comparing his record on defence deaths to that of Humpty's.*
