President Trump’s instincts, insight, and intuition on eight major policy issues are spot-on:
- U.S. Domestic fuel production
- Trade agreements
- Border Security
- Manufacturing repatriation
- Defense, National Security, and Space
- study
- Middle East (Israel and Iran)
- Russia
Each of the eight policy areas could take a long essay, and each is underpinned by imperatives of American patriotism and pragmatism; the U.S. All are linked by prioritizing the national interest. They share an overlapping relationship and are mutually reinforcing. They should associate not only with Trump but with anyone who shares a similar policy perspective, because above all they are “realpolitik” (ie, a realistic, clear policy way of doing things productively, and wisely, as opposed to ideology and dogma). I want to identify and discuss just one of these critical policy areas: Russia.
At the start of Trump’s first campaign for president, he made a public statement: The U.S. And Russia could have a normal, productive relationship. He frames this position as a question and asks, “Why not?” Indeed, his whole posture towards foreign relations was that there was a basic human connection between nations and this human element should be exploited (this came from being a businessman rather than a politician or a lawyer, and much of his cabinet was also from the private, commercial sector). Even toward belligerent North Korea, Trump has taken an extroverted, direct, businesslike, and personal approach to its leadership. This did not sit well with the Washington establishment, which lived by “protocols” and formalities rather than direct, public ones (Nixon and Kissinger were perhaps the exceptions in their realpolitik approach to China).
This Washington, D.C. The establishment is dedicated to maintaining the posture of Cold War relations and interpretations. why Because while the “establishment” is often considered conservative, it actually isn’t — its members are inward-looking, progressive in their self-interest, and generally opportunistic. They will do anything if it will perpetuate their career, and secure them professionally and personally. That means enemies must be constantly created and maintained because fear and uncertainty are their currency. Above all, the progressive left that defines the core of this establishment is defined more by what it hates and wants to eradicate than by what it admires and works to build. Trump (especially his personality type) threatens the establishment’s thin veneer of credibility.

This explains the current White House (and State Department) foreign policy stance: they have no real business experience, so they fall back on theory and especially ideology. It’s also dangerous for US policy toward Iran, which is another Trump victory: He’s smart enough to know that Iran needs to be contained militarily.
Trump saw the self-serving dysfunction of the foreign policy establishment, and to him, the Cold War was someone else’s war, not ours, or our responsibility to conduct if we could develop other options for cooperation or otherwise. Management of incremental risks. Entrepreneurs think: conflict and disagreement are opportunities to change direction and find ways to solve problems, build businesses, and develop economies; In short, how to create wealth.
This is another reason why Trump’s background in real estate and casino operations is so attractive: real estate investment lays claim to future stability and growth; Casinos and gambling have a spirit of risk-taking, but the odds and expected payouts, as well as the ability to call and raise, need to be carefully considered. In foreign policy, war is often thought of as a profitable method, but smart players know that peace is a real capitalist tool because it brings more people to the table, making them regular customers; It increases income and increases employment; It paves the way for investment and allows banks, capital, and even government funds to find their way into productive new ventures, as opposed to the current runaway federal debt-financed spending.
America and Russia could be allies and natural trading partners, or at least stable competitors. But the Cold War mentality of the establishment in Washington lives on fighting, fear, and friction. This is because the U.S. sees Russia as a gift of natural resources. Also refers to corporations and other interests; This was the excitement of the 1990s during Glasnost: Western interests could seize Russia’s valuable resources in minerals, oil, gas, agriculture, and certain engineering and manufacturing, and engage in an effective hostile takeover. Trump is not immune to some of these interests, but his overall approach is to engage, and in return, the U.S. Follows the dangerous path of ignorance and growth.
Trump is actually a peaceful president, with a proper understanding of the dangers of a nuclear Iran. The Biden administration, by contrast, is heading down a dead-end policy path, with support for radical Islam, superpower conflict with Russia, and the U.S. Facilitates a three-pronged global risk involving domestic civil war. None of this would have existed or existed in the same manner and to the same extent under a Trump presidency.
