Max Boot offers a neat summary of Trump's policy direction and achievement.
"IN IRAN CRISIS, OUR WORST FEARS ABOUT TRUMP ARE REALIZED
By Max Boot June 17 at 2:42 PM"
"“His vision of American influence and power in the world is wildly inconsistent and unmoored in principle. He swings from isolationism to military adventurism within the space of one sentence.
His advocacy for aggressively waging trade wars is a recipe for economic disaster.
His embrace of the expansive use of torture is inexcusable.
His hateful, anti-Muslim rhetoric undercuts the seriousness of combating Islamic radicalism by alienating partners in the Islamic world. …
... His insistence that Mexico will fund a wall on the southern border inflames unhelpful passions, and rests on an utter misreading of, and contempt for, our southern neighbor.
... His insistence that close allies such as Japan must pay vast sums for protection is the sentiment of a racketeer, not the leader of the alliances that have served us so well since World War II.
His admiration for foreign dictators such as Vladimir Putin is unacceptable. ...
He is fundamentally dishonest. ...
His equation of business acumen with foreign policy experience is false.”
The letter concluded: “Mr. Trump’s own statements lead us to conclude that as president, he would use the authority of his office to act in ways that make America less safe, and which would diminish our standing in the world.”
and of the _resident president's true nature
"Trump has shown no ability to grow in office; but then it’s hard to learn if all you read is Fox News chyrons. He is today the same compulsive liar and erratic ignoramus he was at the start of the 2016 campaign. Only now, the stakes are much higher."
