Thank you.
From my experience reading stuff online, when critics try to rationalise Trump's achievement on foreign policy, they list a whole bunch of positives that they first recognise and then use a single and usually irrelevant negative to reach to the conclusion that Trump is bad. More often than not, they don't even use a foreign policy blunder but instead irrelevant arguments to foreign policy most usually about his character. Which is a strawman.
But both of our impressions are just that. Without something specific we are just extrapolating impressions.
It seems pretty clear to me that:
1) Trump would have avoided a war with Russia
2) that the Democrats want a war with Russia to weaken both Russia and Europe while sacrificing Ukrainians for no tangible benefit.
3) that the Democrats treat their allies like colonies.
4) that Trump brought countries together hitherto considered impossible.
5) that he isolated the Iranian Mullahs, severely undercutting them, much to the cheers of all progressive Iranian people, who simply can't wait for his return.
6) that he or his administration rewarded US allies with tangible benefits, India, Egypt, Israel, Greece and Cyprus are all excellent examples, while Biden treats them all as expendable.
7) That the Democrats interchange between the "moral stance" and the "alliance stance" quicker than changing their socks rendering both as totally whimsical and themselves as unreliable interlocutors as you don't really know when they will pull the carpet under your feet.

Thank you.
As for the second part. There are lots of long (1-3hr in some occasions) talks (many on youtube) from places like CSIS (Center for Strategic and International Studies) which have touched on this topic (among many many other topics). People have posted a bit from Peter Zeihan (Geopolitical analysis/author) here as well which has stated similar about Trump's foreign policy (in context of other things too). Few other folks/groups I can't remember names because I don't specifically catalog every time I read/watch something like this. YOu can add them to your reading/watching list if you'd like.
