It serves him (and us) very well. Is that you, jebbie?
Perhaps alter, but not necessarily stop. Good way to communicate, but it is time for him to use it in a more measured manner. Become the statesmen he can, and should be. He might as well start now projecting that persona. It will help him immensely for his reelection bid as well.
Reagan - “Grenada”?? Funding the Mujahadeen in Afhanistan??
“Throwing away lives” is a matter of interpretation.
Some would say abandoning Afghanistan to the Taliban would be throwing away the lives of those who sacrificed for us there already.
Turn down the brightness, hal! I am on PDJT’s side here. It was the guy to which I responded who’s chiding the President. Although I seldom use it, Twitter is the only way he can communicate with the American public directly.
If it gets filtered through the LSM, it gets folded, spindled and mutilated before it reaches the ears of their adoring fans.
The irony is, without “international law,” there would be no United States of America as there could be no recognition of our Declaration of Independence.
British common law specifically, and expressly forbid such an action, so our founders had to turn to internationally recognized law & legal treatise.
Not at all to International Law, but to an international array of national and individual entities.

Not at all to the International Law of 2019.
Absolutely to "international law" of 1776.
That was intentionally put in quotes, lower case, for a reason.
Back in 1776, Natural Law (the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God) was in effect, international law in that most civilized nations recognized it to one degree or another going back millennia prior.
Thomas Jefferson, and the rest of the founders, appealed to these "international laws" or Natural Law.
