If you cut through all the MSM propaganda, stupidity and sensationalism it appears that Trump is the most stone-cold of realists. The goal is always negotiation of a deal that benefits the United States’ interests. But if an enemy is not negotiating, military force is a tool to get them to the table. But once the military force works, he is not going to become a George HW Bush neocon and turn the country into a democracy. Rather, he is going to negotiate an enforceable deal. You see it in Venezuela. You see it in Iran, Cuba and Columbia. The threats to bomb cartels in Mexico is probably meant to get Mexico to the table.

POTUS Trump Protects America by Helping Others

Trump Wisely Chooses Limited Goals Over Maria Corina Machado’s Ambitions

Trump’s right that she’s a nice and courageous lady, but he’s also correct that, without a strong base in the Venezuelan government, she'll be a millstone around America's neck.

This is where the foreign-policy establishment repeatedly miscalculates Trump. The establishment’s members assume that every use of force must be followed by political sponsorship.

Trump rejects that logic. He understands that once the United States publicly embraces an opposition leader or party in a country, it also assumes responsibility for subsequent governance failures, internal fractures, security breakdowns, and economic collapse. That is precisely the trap Washington walked into in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria, and precisely the trap Trump is determined to avoid.
