“Trump gave an excellent speech in which he identified the failures of American foreign policy and offered intelligent, common sense solutions.”
I agree. IMHO, the problem with people like Graham and so many others in elected positions is that they think being successfully elected means that they actually somehow magically know more about everything than anyone else. That is false, and ‘unnerving and pathetic’. People like Graham think that they possess some special nuanced understanding of things like ‘foreign policy’ that the rest of us don’t get. The sad truth is that he, and so many of his colleagues in elected office are the ones who don’t get it. This statement by him exemplifies this.
Trump is distilling foreign policy down to a very basic principle that should be the same basic principle for all serving under the US Constitution: America First. We can’t help the world, wield positive influence, and be a force for good in the world if we are not stable as a nation.
I read that Rush has chimed in with his secret buddy Linda Graham and made fun of Trump’s speech, along with Levin.
Excellent and well stated post. Thank you.
