If Trump comes back in November I hope the first thing he will do is to stop the war in Ukrain ...

In my opinion, those people who have any hopes for Trump are deeply mistaken that he will change anything dramatically.
Both Biden and his vis-a-vis, Trump, are two freak-babblers who only talk nonsense and are not inclined to watch their language. Their main energy is directed to the internal struggle for power as representatives of certain lobbying financial groups, and they mostly only care about what they will have inside the United States. The rest of the world is secondary for them, and they don't care about many world problems at all, because they are used to ignoring anyone in the world to achieve their interests. Yes, and the power of the US Presidents is rather nominal and formal. US Presidents are just hired managers. It's just that Trump is disliked by the so-called "deep state" because he is more of a non-systemic candidate. Trump relies heavily on the electorate of the native average American, who are increasingly unhappy with what is happening inside the US. But that doesn't make him any less "hands-off", he'll just be carrying out the lobbying objectives of other capitalist groups. And the "deep state" has always benefited from the kind of US foreign policy it has always pursued since World War II.
Therefore, no one will let Trump do anything that is not favorable to the governing establishment. He's already been president of the United States, so what? Everything he promised in foreign policy, he was not given anything to do. Biden is even a more experienced politician, he's just an old man out of his mind. But Biden has a "deep state" behind him that made him a team and controls Biden and his team. Trump has no team, all his advisors during his presidency have sabotaged his actions and decisions more than helped him. The only thing is that Trump may shift the focus of his foreign policy to China, because Trump is more of a trader, and the U.S.'s economic priority is to contain its main economic competitor. But in the global geopolitical competition, no one will let him leave Russia alone. Simply, he will make tame Europe pay more to NATO and give it the frontline of the collective West's struggle to contain Russia. And the U.S. will switch more to confrontation with China.
So Europe is unlikely to be helped by Trump's rise to power, but rather the opposite.
So I don't believe Trump can do any good on foreign policy. He is a very emotionally unstable man, hostage to his passions and extremely talkative. He is very unpredictable and stupid. I remember when his daughter Ivanka came to him during his presidency and complained about the fake, staged "chemical attack" by the White Helmets in Syria. Trump ordered a missile strike on Syria. The missiles hit nowhere, but is this a responsible decision by the president of a serious nation?
He ripped up the Iran nuclear deal. Why?
His Jewish entourage (family lobby), will make him act more aggressively to help Israel.
Every new president that comes to the US is unpredictable in his actions, and starts experimenting on the world.
The US is a dangerous country, in terms of public policy.
Thus, it is unclear what to expect from Trump. He is an irresponsible person.
Both of these major presidential candidates are simply playing to the public, nothing more. In reality, the US is run by completely different actors.
I even doubt Trump will become president. His competitors will do everything to prevent this from happening.
Personally, my only hope is that if Trump does become President of the United States, this arrogant state will have some serious domestic civil problems of its own to distract them from the constant spreading of harm around the world.
P.S. The war in Ukraine will end only by Russia itself, when it forces the collective West to sign the peace on Russia's terms!!!
