This is actually quite significant. we already knew the international foreign policy establishment would oppose, mock and attempt to undermine any Trump action that diverged from their [failed] approach.
But we should have also expected that if and when Trumps novel approach began to bear fruit, some in the establishment, in their honest moments, would (of course grudgingly) acknowledge his progress and perhpas begin to change their worldview.
This article is good evidence that this process has begun.
[Now, regarding the headline: it doesn't even match the tone of the article, and anyway, don't expect the "experts" to admit that Trump has a higher I.Q. than they do. Getting them to admit he is improving America's standing in the world is enough for me]
Yes, President Trump stumbles into triumph after triumph every day.
I mean-Trump IS the dealmaker, if nothing else. No one is getting around him! No dealmaker wants to be, or lets himself be conned.
I firmly believe President Trump will be known as one of the top 3 Presidents in USA history and that this impeachment sham will be a badge of honor not shame because it exposed the vile corruption that is the democrat party and their minions in the MSM and cable news channels.
The “tone of the article” suggests that he only accomplishes anything through dumb luck.
I guess that’s better than nothing.
China trade deal
USMCA
Market 1/3rd the way from 29,000 to 30,000 after only a few days.
Lowest unemployment in 50 years...
I guess Trump has been doing a lot of stumbling.
Too bad Obama didn’t know how to stumble. (LMAO)
I think it’s really very simple. Trump understands human nature, and he’s reversed the tables on all these world leaders, who now fear him.
You don’t think Chi, and Putin, and NKOr guy and of course Iran, aren’t shaking a bit in their boots thinking what Trump would do to them, or could do to them.
OTOH, there’s a kind of stability Trump brings to things. In theory, if countries are not warring, they’ll spend less on military.
There may be a new world order that is fabricated by communication around the world by the young people.
...And President Trump stumbled into a stock market hitting all-time highs.
...And President Trump stumbled into the USMCA trade deal.
...And President Trump stumbled into the lowest African-American, Hispanic-American, and Asian-american unemployment rates ever recorded.
...And President Trump stumbled into a 49 year low in first time unemployment claims.
I like the way this President stumbles...
Just like he ‘stumbled’ into the best economy in 50 years... lowest unemployment in history, etc etc...
Maybe we should keep him just because he is so damn lucky!
Unlike most of his predecessors, he understands that we are almost always in the stronger bargaining position, so he actually uses that power in negotiations rather than acting embarrassed to throw that weight around.
Speaking of headlines, Politico has this up as a headline:
SENATE PASSES USMCA IN MAJOR WIN FOR TRUMP
Then changed it an hour later to:
SENATE PASSES USMCA, BUT MUCH WORK REMAINS
Many “journalists” are just hacks.
The headline writer, who is almost never the author of a piece, is just following the talking point that Trump stumbles and bumbles into everything, like Forrest Gump. Always the right place at the right time. Pure luck and happenstance.
The article, as with the opening Kissinger quote, allows that he is a disruptive force. Breaking paradigms, smashing the status quo, and revealing the folly of the past 3 decades of US policy. While the author still isn’t quite willing to concede that Trump’s accomplishments aren’t “accidental”, it’s still a sharp departure from the “Trump is a cross between Forrest Gump and Hitler” that the MSM pushes.
Should he win a second term, the media will eventually be forced to shift toward this position, though they will never withdraw their assertion that Trump is an evil monster. But history will record that he was a great and transformational President, if he wins in 2020...
I know diplomats. I have worked with diplomats.
They all use weasel words and implied meaning and all sorts of other ways to say one thing and do another.
A diplomat’s worst nightmare is someone who ignores their “rules”. They have particular disdain for business people who want results. “It’s a process”, they say. “It will take time”, they say. Then along comes some businessman who cuts through the crap and makes them look like the yellow bellied two faced jackals they are.
They have to get rid of him. He is making them look bad.
Long past time for that dinosaur to sink into the tar pit.
> “Donald Trump Stumbles Into a Foreign-Policy Triumph”
From: The Atlantic
by their stooge who goes by the name of TOM MCTAGUE
Here’s how Mr. Tom has been programmed to hurl his putrid adjectives and snarks:
Title: “stumble”
Snark: “Kissinger set out a theory” whereas Trump gets ir right by “accident”.
Snark: Trump is not coming up with “any great alternative”. Trump’s just lucky is all.
Slur: Call it “Trumportunities” coined by a nobody named Ryan Evans who is likely a butt harbor for Monsieur MCTAGUE.
Slur: “bellicose isolationist”
Slur: “erratic behavior”
****************
How is The Atlantic is still in business? Soros.
It’s called putting America’s Interests first. When you do that, good things just naturally happen.
I was arguing this point with people ten days ago. Trump understood the concept of escalation dominance, and wasn’t afraid to leverage his stronger bargaining position. It’s what the foreign policy establishment and especially the professional politicians don’t quite grasp because they are more concerned with “optics” than with results.
Did the smarmy never Trumper Atlantic actually say something positive on Trump?
Kissinger was Carter’s Sec/State.
TOTAL CLUSTERFU@K.
It is always bemusing that the Stupids refuse to credit intellect if it isn’t theirs. Somehow, genius is accidental.
Stumbled, hardly.
Trump understands the USA and the entrepreneurial spirit.
What he has done is made it possible to unleash the dogs and let them fight rather than muzzle and starve them out.
My hatred for all things elite grows daily.
The elites and the intelligentsia all need to be destroyed.
