The New York Times: Reports " President Trump has been commander in chief for 14 months, but to an uncanny degree, he still sounds like the armchair statesman who ran for the White House in 2016....Mr. Trump’s words were at odds with the strategy his administration is pursuing in Syria. But they were almost verbatim what he said in pre-election tweets, as well as in debates two years ago against Republican challengers and his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton. "
Lets Get Real:
President Trump is an interesting politician, he likes to keep to his political promises, and does not change his mind that much, he was pro Russia before the election and still is, while throwing out 60 Diplomats in reaction to the suspected Russian action in the UK. On Syria, and the Middle East, Trump wants out, but has allowed the US Military to take out Daesh in Syria and Iraq, the rules of the Obama Administration were binned as to allow the US Military to smash the terrorist group. It can be argued that Trump wants to abdicate US leadership of the West while making sure that no country can match the US when it comes to defence. On Iran the establishment in D.C has stalled Trump, with a new Secretary of State and National Security Advisor the US could be harder on Iran. IF Tehran I would be worried. The Trump foreign policy looks both ways, it can be hard to pin down.
