That is the reason he got my vote. We need to recruit more like him into our government.

“The president’s National Security Strategy is required by Congress.”

Here’s the last one 0bama submitted in 2015. Compare and contrast...if you dare! (PDF Document)

http://nssarchive.us/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/2015.pdf

This National Security Strategy provides a vision for strengthening and sustaining American leadership in this still young century. It clarifies the purpose and promise of American power. It aims to advance our interests and values with initiative and from a position of strength. We will deter and defeat any adversary that threatens our national security and that of our allies. We confidently welcome the peaceful rise of other countries as partners to share the burdens for maintaining a more peaceful and prosperous world. We will continue to collaborate with established and emerging powers to promote our shared security and defend our common humanity, even as we compete with them in economic and other realms. We will uphold and refresh the international rules and norms that set the parameters for such collaboration and competition. We will do all of this and more with confidence that the international system whose
creation we led in the aftermath of World War II will continue to serve America and the world well. This is an ambitious, but achievable agenda, especially if we continue to restore the bipartisan center that has been a pillar of strength for American foreign policy in decades past. America has greater capacity to adapt and recover from setbacks than any other country. A core element of our strength is our unity and our certainty that American leadership in this century, like the last, remains indispensable.

President Trump’s Conclusion, 2017:

This National Security Strategy sets a positive strategic direction for the United States that is meant to reassert America’s advantages on the world stage and to build upon our country’s great strengths. During the Trump Administration, the American people can be confident that their security and prosperity will always come first. A secure, prosperous, and free America will be strong and
ready to lead abroad to protect our interests and our way of life. America’s renewed strategic confidence is anchored in our re-commitment to the principles inscribed in our found-
ing documents. The National Security Strategy celebrates and protects what we hold dear— individual liberty, the rule of law, a democratic system of government, tolerance, and opportunity for all. By knowing ourselves and what we stand
for, we clarify what we must defend and we establish guiding principles for our actions. This strategy is guided by principled realism. It is realist because it acknowledges the central role of power in international politics, affirms that sovereign states are the best hope for a peaceful world, and clearly defines oor national interests. It is principled because it is grounded in the knowledge that advancing American principles spreads peace and prosperity around the globe. We are guided by our values and disciplined by our interests. This Administration has a bright vision of America’s future. America’s values and influence, under written by American power, make the world more free, secure, and prosperous. Our Nation derives its strength from the American people. Every American has a role to play in this grand, national effort to implement this America First National Security Strategy. Together, our task is to strengthen our families, to build up our communities, to serve our citizens, and to celebrate American greatness as a shining example to the world. We will leave our children and grandchildren a Nation that is stronger, better, freer, prouder, and greater than ever before.

So then we’re going to pull out of Syria? Right?

I am reminded of Ronald Reagan’s strategy for the Cold War when he said, “We win, they lose”.

A winning graph there, DoughtyOne.

Did you hear Trump's speech at the FBI National Academy graduation in Quantico, VA?  Classic Trump.  Tough, humorous, and a guy who shows he really cares about the men and women in blue.

Wonderful stuff. Here's the YouTube starting with Jeff Sessions' brief introduction of PDJT.

I saw it, and wasn’t it Pence who introduced him?

At any rate, he thinks like us and it’s just very comforting to know he is in charge.

I liked that background so much I made some screen captures on my iPhone X.
