While negatives of Trump's misguided time at the top of America far outweigh any positives in the majority of minds, from most all situations and circumstances there are mixtures of pluses and minuses. Aside/stray/wander, whatever, as in our own places too

What is Positive and Negative Affect in Psychology?
Courtney E. Ackerman, MSc.

Give that idea a little bit of thought. Have you ever felt good and bad emotions at the same time? Perhaps when you see a friend accomplishing something you have yet to accomplish, or when an ex that you split on good terms with finds happiness with someone else?
P - I’m willing to bet you can think of at least one or two scenarios in which you have experienced both positive and negative affectivity at the same time. The ability to experience both at the same time means that the bipolar model of positive and negative affectivity is inaccurate; you do not need to be at only one point on the spectrum, since there are two spectrums to consider—one for positive affect and one for negative.

What prompted that, it doesn't take much, wander. Heh, ok, back to one effect of America's temporary Trump detour.

"But in many ways Europe has already moved on, forging ahead on the deal with Iran, negotiating a trade agreement with China spearheaded by Germany, and organizing global actions to protect the environment."

That bit did. As when a child strays from an overly protective parental grip, though anxiety and even harm may come from it, there is most always too a positive side to the experience. Most children learn. While Trump hasn't learned much, and while those still supporting him haven't either, thankfully most adults do learn from experience.

Now this bit feels to fit here too

FBI, NYPD told Capitol Police about possibility of violence before riot, senior officials say
The FBI visited more than a dozen extremists before the rally last week to urge them not to travel to D.C., senior law enforcement officials said.

The Metropolitan Police Department in Washington is responsible for crowd control in the city, and the mayor told Justice Department officials that she didn't want or need their help. While city police helped retake the Capitol, they were unable to stop the crowd from getting there in the first place.

The FBI is also under scrutiny. Its top investigative priority is terrorism, foreign and domestic. Had this been an al Qaeda plot to storm the Capitol, some experts said, it is likely that the FBI would have arrested the participants before they left their home airports on the way to Washington.

One difference, however, is that there is no domestic terrorism statute, which gives the FBI fewer avenues to legally monitor suspects, including their postings on the dark web, said NBC News contributor Frank Figliuzzi, a former assistant director of the FBI.

Outside a criminal investigation of a specific person or group, Figliuzzi said Saturday, "the FBI is not permitted to look and monitor the very same things that you and I can look at on Twitter and Parler."

Joyce Vance, a former U.S. attorney for northern Alabama, said the FBI has tools to monitor potential violence by domestic extremists. She suggested that the issue was one of emphasis and will.

"The challenge for FBI and DOJ is to assign a permanent priority to domestic white supremacist terror groups and treat them as seriously as they treat foreign terrorism," she said.
