Trump’s foreign policy is actually boosting America’s standing

A story is supposed to have  two sides, but there is only  one when it comes to President Trump’s foreign policy. Most American media treat his every effort as a savage assault on a harmonious world order.

Whether it’s the trade dispute with China, his pushing North Korea to scuttle its nukes or his demand that NATO members spend more on defense, the headlines sound the same shrieking note: “Trump inflames . . . Trump escalates . . . Trump doubles down . . . Trump risks . . .”

The parade of horribles continues to this day, but it will be hard to out-fear-monger a Time magazine headline from May: “By Violating Iran Deal, Trump Jeopardizes National Security.”

But since the world hasn’t ended and since we’re not dead yet, I humbly suggest it’s time to take a deep breath and consider the other side of the story.

We don’t have to look far. Numerous signs are popping up that the impact of Trump’s policies is far from the disastrous scenario the media predict. By wielding America’s power instead of apologizing for it, and by keeping his focus on jobs and national security, Trump is making progress in fixing the ruinous status quo he inherited.

America First, it turns out, is more than a slogan. It is a road map to reshaping America’s relationship with friend and foe alike....

This should be obvious to everyone, if only the MSM wouldn’t misrepresent everything.

I would offer one other odd factor here...at no point in the past 18 months, has military power been much of a ‘tool’ of foreign policy. He’s using US economic power only.

The only time I can remember the military ‘tool’ being used was in some portion of the Syria-Russia episode. Beyond that...he’s limiting the use of military power.

Trump tweeted that the sanctions, which had been lifted by President Barack Obama, are just the first step and that a bigger round starts in November. “Anyone doing business with Iran will NOT be doing business with the United States,” he wrote. “I am asking for WORLD PEACE, nothing less!”

It seems those Miss America pageants rubbed off a little on President Trump.

When has a Liberal ever been correct about anything? America is in a mess because of Liberal policies over the past 60 years. Criminal justice system, Immigration, Education, Welfare, etc. Name one thing a Liberal has touched and NOT screwed up?

I liked Tom Hanks’ acting in “Apollo 13.”

That’s about it.

A long article, but well worth the time to read it.
