It comes as no surprise that with each new American administration, a diplomatic chain reaction is felt the world over. The Bush years were marked by a heavy-handed, and sometimes ham-handed, forceful approach to American diplomacy. From NATO, to pan-Asia relationships, to the Middle East, Bush dealt from a position of cultural strength and a philosophy firmly rooted in Pax Americana. Was this approach successful?

This was telling.

Trump wants to win. Sincerely. All the Obama administration wanted to do was not lose.

“However, we were pleasantly surprised at how much time President Trump spent asking very informed questions. “

The very next line.

Wonder, was minister Khan's wife present?

The author left out what Brack and Hillry tried to do to Egypt and did to Libya... Bush sure paved the road to Middle East destruction, but, make no mistake the Obama administration has darn near made it a howling waste land.

“The Obama adminsitration was the most academic....”

That is, they were self-proclaimed brilliant intellectual geniuses who thought they knew better than all other humans.

Just saying.

IMHO

It's all in The Art of the Deal. Why should any of this be a surprise? The book has been in print for 30 years.

Randall was my first thought.

But there are a lot of great knife makers on the market now.
