For the past two years we have seen the emergence of a coherent Trump doctrine in both words and deeds.
(Weekend Long Read)
There is a remarkable consistency throughout all of President Trump’s speeches, formal documents (such as the National Security Strategy) and actions of the administration
To understand the Trump doctrine, we must begin with candidate Trump’s first major speech on foreign policy on April 27, 2016 (thus even before the Indiana primary) to the Center for the National Interest at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C.
All the elements of the Trump doctrine are revealed in this maiden speech. This includes reversing military decline (“We will spend what we need to rebuild our military”); an emphasis on economic strength and “technological superiority” in geo-political competition; confronting the threats from China, North Korea, Iran and radical Islam; opposing nation-building; reversing Obama’s ambivalence with strong support for Israel; ending illegal immigration; and “strengthening and promoting Western Civilization.” Finally, the candidate rejected the “false flag of globalism” and declared, “The nation-state remains the true foundation for happiness and harmony.”
These core elements were expanded upon in different speeches to the United Nations, the Asian Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), in Warsaw, and elsewhere. In articulating his concept of sovereignty, Trump posited democratic sovereignty or popular sovereignty in the sense of self-government. He makes the moral argument that ultimate political authority resides in the people of a nation, not in transnational global elites nor in the always “evolving” notions of international (essentially transnational) law.
Trump notes, however, that sovereign nations have core duties to “respect the interests of their own people and the rights of every other sovereign nation.” Thus, North Korea, Iran, Cuba, and Venezuela violate the sovereign duties of nation-states.

First we need to make sure our own Left wing 5th Column and inheritors of the Commintern be kicked out of office as much as it is possible.
This presumably is the stuff that got him:
It should have been made clear from the outset that nothing even of the appearance of personal or excessive spending would be allowed. He likely messed up his chances of another position in the admin as well.

Fabian Socialism is the name for it all. Look them up; they’ve been around for 100 years. They invented the Administrative State, and want it for the whole world.
Their strategy is taking over the media, schools, and courts. Sound familier?
And who is the man who applies the Trump Doctrine and originated much of it? National Security Advisor John R. Bolton. A very good man.
