...the insupportable confidence...

THIS, is actually a description of every leftist in the US. It describes their embrace of policies which have never worked, and carrying an attitude of superiority.

Suits me right down to the ground! The day after election day, when Trump had won after an evening of cliff hanging and then victory, I wrote in white shoe polish on the window of the silly little glass walled office I was using: “Take that bitch!” in clear reference to hillary. It raised a lot of eyebrows.

When I saw this is from the Atlantic and Jeff Goldberg. My first thought, Fake News !

The term America's back Bitch ? I seriously doubt he was told exactly that. I bet he was told "America Comes First" !

Well like most limp wristed DC Types Jeffy has it completely wrong.

The USA is never “isolated” since it is the sole source of leadership. Watch what happens. The EU, and the clueless eurotrash wanna bees in the US Fake media, will whine and bitch and cry strenuously but they will DO nothing without the US to hold their hand and show them the way.

Trump is just the 1st President post Cold War to finally recognize the US does not need the rest of the world any longer but the rest of the world desperately needs the USA.

Libs are scared of this kind of talk. It’s too aggressive.
Too mean.

I don't approve or agree with the phrase, but what is clear is that we are back, no more apologies, and you'd better respect us. Let 'em squeal, but they'd better not mess with us.

Just prepare yourself for the next Democrat to take office and go back to the Victimology-Apology Penitence Parade. It'll hurt. :(

the Western alliance, empower Russia and China, and demoralize freedom-seeking people around the world

A laughable assertion given the muslification of Europe by immigrants coming. They are not coming to integrate and adapt to the new culture. They are coming over to make an islamic society. That will consume Europe and if Russia isn't careful it will consume them too.

So it makes sense to reach out and make Chinese friends because there is a very great chance that China could never be islamified and certainly with their cultural superiority complex will not tolerate globalization through mass immigration.

To much of the world, however, and certainly to most practitioners of foreign and national-security policy, “We’re America, Bitch” would be understood as self-isolating, and self-sabotaging.

And like Mr. Goldberg they would be totally WRONG!

What this administration is saying is ...

America isn’t YOUR bitch any longer!

"We don’t need to be liked, but we do need to be respected, and there’s the difference between liberals and conservatives. Liberals want to be liked. Conservatives want to be respected."

YES. As vividly shown by Obongo's foreign visits and boot kissing at the G7's. There won't be any more of that on the foreign stage. Treat us fairly and respect the power that we are. We can be your best friend or a formidable opponent; the choice is yours.

I was talking to this person several weeks ago, and I said, by way of introduction, that I thought it might perhaps be too early to discern a definitive Trump Doctrine.

“No,” the official said. “There’s definitely a Trump Doctrine.”

“What is it?” I asked. Here is the answer I received:

“The Trump Doctrine is ‘We’re America, Bitch.’ That’s the Trump Doctrine.”

Made up. I don't believe this happened. It's the author wishing this conversation occurred as he's trying to make Trump look like an ogre.

And of course The Atlantic is simply liberal trash for the most part. But a good window into the disconnect on the part of the liberal thinkers.

As has been said, they would have supported much of the Trump doctrine just a generation ago, but they seem bent on moving farther and farther left for their own purposes.

My take.

This is just another fake news piece. Like the others this is meant to make Trump and his Administration look like thugs and bullies.

This will do that as far as those who already hate him because it reenforces their feelings about him but the authors mistake is he believes Trump’s base will somehow think less of him when in fact it will only reenforce their positive feelings towards him.
