Snip...
The best distillation of the Trump Doctrine I heard, though, came from a senior White House official with direct access to the president and his thinking. I was talking to this person several weeks ago, and I said, by way of introduction, that I thought it might perhaps be too early to discern a definitive Trump Doctrine.
“No,” the official said. “There’s definitely a Trump Doctrine.”
“What is it?” I asked. Here is the answer I received:
“The Trump Doctrine is ‘We’re America, Bitch.’ That’s the Trump Doctrine.”
It struck me almost immediately that this was the most acute, and attitudinally honest, description of the manner in which members of Trump’s team, and Trump himself, understand their role in the world.
I asked this official to explain the idea. “Obama apologized to everyone for everything. He felt bad about everything.” President Trump, this official said, “doesn’t feel like he has to apologize for anything America does.” I later asked another senior official, one who rendered the doctrine not as “We’re America, Bitch” but as “We’re America, Bitches,” whether he was aware of the 2004 movie Team America: World Police, whose theme song was “America, F*** Yeah!”
“Of course,” he said, laughing. “The president believes that we’re America, and people can take it or leave it.”
“We’re America, Bitch” is not only a characterologically accurate collective self-appraisal—the gangster fronting, the casual misogyny, the insupportable confidence—but it is also perfectly Rorschachian. To Trump’s followers, “We’re America, Bitch” could be understood as a middle finger directed at a cold and unfair world, one that no longer respects American power and privilege. To much of the world, however, and certainly to most practitioners of foreign and national-security policy, “We’re America, Bitch” would be understood as self-isolating, and self-sabotaging.

And of course this “senior white house” person is anonymous and if ever found out will be a “senior” white house official and not just some low level drone who through crony-connections got a white house JUNIOR position, and never liked Trump in the first place? I doubt it. I think the later alternative is more likely than the former as the phrase sounds most of all like an anti-Trump person’s view of what Trump’s policy agenda’s mean.
Misogyny. The best weapon against globalist misandry.
“We're the piggy bank that everybody is robbing, and that ends!”, Trump said.
President Trump says, “Get over it, you worthless Eurotrash and Canute waste of air.
"Hey Angela, Hillary wants her pantsuit back!
Hey, Angela, Abe and President Trump aren’t buying the “All Soy no meat” schnitzel you are selling.

I would have preferred the article written by someone of the conservative ilk whom knew what he/she was talking about, thus could have approached the subject sensibly, and without the faux intellectualism so typical of liberalism.
‘Merica. Hell yeah.
Nope. This describes the Trump Doctrine perfectly.
“America...F Yeah!”
Let those traitors buy her another strapon and BOHICA
Just.....simply BEAUTIFUL! ;-)
Actually Mr. Goldberg, after reading your garbage laden article, I believe the pejorative “Bitch” could be more precisely directed at you.
>>the casual misogyny
Not a problem when the US partian media is throwing the C-u—n-* word at women connected to Donald Trump
Doesn’t change the fact that it’s a non-existent source.
And absolutely dead on.
Germany is OUR bitch, and has been since about May of 1945.
