In a Nutshell


Maybe this is a foolish errand ... but nonetheless allow me to try to summarize President Trump’s foreign policy ... in a nutshell.

Keep ‘em guessing. Get close to your enemies and call out your friends when appropriate ... and speak harshly ... at least initially ... and then use a big stick, when required, to show you are not spineless. But avoid war and nation-building at all costs. Practice pragmatism and, most importantly, always put American interests first.

  1. In a nutshell, Trump policy is: PUT YOURSELF FIRST

  2. Is that why he takes none of his presidential salary?

  3. He spends much more than his salary on golf and flying to ego-inflating rallies.

  4. Enough arm waving. To be believed, please give us the figures justifying your claim.

  6. “could cost” vs. “do cost” Might be right, but I suspect that there were other justifications involved in many of these trips. And lastly ... the chart for his confirmed golf outings is remarkably similarly to Obama’s.
