America’s foreign policy has changed more in the week since Donald Trump took office than it has at any time since the end of World War II. Given the changes that occurred in 1991 with the end of the Cold War and after the attacks on 9/11, that is saying something. But the changes ushered in by Trump — often without benefit of consultation with his cabinet departments, experts of any sort, or the legislative branch of government — cut to the core philosophies that have guided America in the modern era, as well as to the specifics of relations with an extraordinarily wide array of countries and regions.

I gasped at the title, read the article, and had to post it for the grand irony of the author condemning Trump for his foreign policy decisions, while ignoring Obama's failures and retreat from global leadership.
I am inadequate to mock this man. He is the CEO of the board of Foreign Policy magazine, which steadily amazes me by its irrational and surreal leftist, anti-American world view. I post it here, hoping to enjoy your comments. Have at it!

So the globalists don’t like Trump’s “America first” policy?
Well, you know what they say. Eff ‘em if they can’t take a joke.

“Given the changes that occurred in 1991 with the end of the Cold War...”
I’m guessing this idiot was against Reagan’s “Evil Empire” comments and marched in multiple “Unilateral Nuclear-disarmament” marches.

what’s interesting is that the party of change can’t comprehend change
the magnitude of rapid change is so great it is beyond comprehension

...often without benefit of consultation with his cabinet departments, experts of any sort, or the legislative branch of government...BULL! Trump's style is to consult with experts all the time. Then take confident decisive action at the right time. One of his central life talents is hiring and taking advice from the right people....and knowing who the right people are (and firing the others...).
He has been consulting for quite some time on what to do when he started....rather than golfing and avoiding work...

Maybe not. Trump’s muscular “America First” policy may actually make him a more dynamic world leader than we’ve seen in a generation.

Before the Election, my S-I-L told me that no matter who gets Elected, Globalism is here to stay. I disagreed.
Well, I believe she was mistaken. #;^)
