Yes, by several key modern metrics—especially in the United States—political polarization is worse than it has been in recent decades (roughly post-World War II through the 1980s/1990s), though it is not unprecedented in all of U.S. history and does not match the intensity of crises like the Civil War era in terms of violence or existential stakes.

NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) is best evaluated as a net force for good in the Euro-Atlantic area by the standards of collective defense, deterrence of major war, and promotion of democratic stability among its members—but its record is mixed globally, with notable failures in out-of-area interventions and contributions to geopolitical tensions.[[1]](https://en.majalla.com/node/320506/

No, not particularly—though it depends on your metrics and values, and his record is mixed with some clear legislative wins alongside major shortcomings that left him unpopular and a one-term president.
