I'm shocked, completely shocked to find out that the most anti-war president has been duped into hiring such hawks. Next thing you'll tell me is that they're not serious about reducing the federal deficit.

Great common sense reporting that seems to be sorely lacking about the Trump picks.

I’d love to hear you do an in depth analysis on what an ideal foreign policy for a future candidate would look like. Considering the breadth of foreign policy issues, there are moments when the US should be more hawkish (Ukraine), isolationist (Israel), contradictory (China) and unsure (I genuinely haven’t heard anyone articulate a solid Iran policy in a decade and don’t even know what one would look like)

Attempting to divine any kind of coherent plan, strategy, or philosophy behind anything Trump does or says other than to keep his name in the lights, burnish his image and make rake in the dough, is a fool's errand.
