It’s Unthinkable One of the Dems Could Be President

President Trump has earned both the highest praise and severest criticism for his decisions on defense and foreign policy matters. Whether he was revoking Obama’s terrible nuclear weapons deal with Iran or telling the world that he trusted Russian President Putin as much as he trusts our intelligence community, Trump has followed no ideology or explained how or why he reached any decision. His beliefs and his actions are transactional.
His latest — first betraying our Kurdish allies and then telling the world that we’re seizing the Syrian oil and keeping the revenue (reportedly $45 million a month) resulting from its sale — has no precedent in American history.
Despite Trump’s unsteadiness, we have to remember that under any of the Democrats who want to replace him, all of these decisions — and everything else related to the defense of our nation and our foreign policy — would become vastly, almost unimaginably, worse.
