That bit is pure delusion.
Don't know what enemies thought, but allies had zero respect for Trump's version of America.
Ya know all the allies he backstabbed, undermined and went back on standing agreements with?
Are you seriously thinking UK, Canada, Germany, Australia had some sort of "respect" for Trump? Every leader openly said he was untrustworthy and damaged USA's standing in the world. Every single one. Repeatedly.
Speaking of being honorable or not. Do you care that Regan signed an agreement with Ukraine to always protect them against aggression if they gave up all nuclear weapons after the end of the Soviet Union?
Do you think it should mean anything that America promised to do that?
