Domino geopolitics had to wait till later to come into vogue.

Eisenhower was a “caretaker president.” I guess he thought the country was tired of war after WWII (and Korea), so he just dicked around and played a lot of golf. From my perspective, with the lone exception of Ronald Reagan, we’ve had a bunch of $hit balls for our presidents until Donald J. Trump showed up.
