We can now say we're entering the age of Trump. It's been a long march to this moment. Around this time last year, the summer of Scaramucci, Donald Trump's staffing was an unholy mess, his poll numbers hit new lows and the GOP health care initiative died in Congress. Perhaps Trump could not govern, some speculated. But a year later, and just a few months before the midterm elections, Trump is most definitely in charge -- and he is changing the character of America step by step.
Trump is advancing post-liberal politics in three key areas. First, a foreign policy that is marked by realism totally undisguised by platitudes or historical sentiments. NATO friends, for instance, have been warned they must contribute more towards the organization's budget. In the Middle East, the United States has thrown its weight behind the unexpected alliance of Israel and Saudi Arabia. And Trump has pulled out of deals that he says weren't working (Iran) or that he doesn't philosophically agree with (Paris climate accord). His withdrawal from the UN Human Rights Council is emblematic of his approach. We all know the UN is a joke on human rights (its membership includes dictatorships such as Cuba and China); critics accuse its members of turning the council into a platform to attack Israel.

This is from CNN? Really?
Pretty good article from far left CNN. I wonder if Mr. Stanley will keep his job there?
This could be the ending of the denial stage of loss.
He doesn’t work for them. He’s a British professor and author.
This writer is so getting fired.
Or has Trump finally broken the spirit of Cnn? I read where the Food Network is beating CNN’s ratings.
Trump is the tranformational figure OSicko could only dream of becoming. MAGA.
It’s gotta be bad. Real bad.

I think cfnn has read their ratings and decided being anti-American leftists hurts the bottom line.
Or this is merely a one-off that made it past the Ministry of Truth Department.
Fortunately he's moving fast enough, we will more than likely see an advancement FOR our posterity.
I guess CNN’s bottom line has hit bottom.

I think the libs are going to have to travel a long road before they get past the denial stage.
Yeah, who allowed Tim Stanley to write such a supportive piece?
I guess CNNs bottom line has hit bottom.

New management? AT&T is in charge now. Maybe the marching order is to be more balanced? Was Jeff Zucker called onto the carpet?
A company like AT&T has a big brand to protect. TimeWarner, the former owner, was rather invisible.
Let’s see.
Fixed it for him.
Good luck lefties because the fresh new course seems more like 'double down on the old rotten course and discard the term 'liberal.'
Moderately balanced article from CNN. Expect it to soon be scrubbed!
No, he's just bringing administration back into alignment with the character that America has always had.
