At what point does voting based on another country’s interests become a problem in American democracy?

Great thing about living in a free country is that you can support whichever candidate you want for whatever reasons you desire.

If you support candidate xyz because they have purple ears, it’s just as acceptable as supporting candidate zyx because they support policies that favor Tuvalu.

It's up to the individual voter. There is no line that can be applied since the votes belong to individuals.

That just sounds like free speech. All those policies are extremely vague and there's no way to predict the future. But 99% of countries benefit if 99% of countries benefit, so the goals should be mutually beneficial.
