That’s the goal? To gain the respect of evil men?

The notion that foreign leaders (especially dictators and strongmen) don't "respect" Democratic presidents and only respect Republican ones has become a conservative trope since at least Obama. Never mind that 9/11 happened under Dubya, that the disastrous Iraq War happened under Dubya, or that Trump has been openly and privately mocked by many foreign leaders who no doubt regard him as a joke and rube, including Putin. As usual with Trumpers, the most important thing in a leader is how publicly they sound tough and macho - that is, they appear to be tough - rather than really being tough and self-confident in private. And when it comes to being privately tough Trump is as fickle and wishy-washy as they come, as his constant backing down on tariffs shows. All that matters to them is the appearance of being tough and macho, not the reality.

C'mon man...

It's just history. I suppose you will sigh when he cites the end of WWII in 1949,the end of the Korean War in 1959, the end of the Viet Nam War in 1979 ?

It's just history, man. The president is laser focused on what's happening here and now... like ending the war in Ukraine and the Middle East

I mean...yeah...but since he loves to compare himself to Lincoln, you'd think he might know the end of that particular war considering the outcome for Abe himself.
