Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner
has emerged as a significant influence within the policy-making
apparatus of the White House. After a rather public imbroglio with
Trump’s strategic policy adviser Stephen Bannon over the U.S. cruise
missile attack on the Shayrat airbase in Syria, Kushner is «in», as they
often say in Washington, and Bannon is «out». In any case, the
anti-globalist faction, which is led by Bannon, has received verbal
«thumbs down» on several fronts from Trump.
Trump’s adoption of Clintonesque
Democratic Party policies of opposing the Syrian government, confronting
Russia, supporting NATO, backing the U.S. Export-Import (EXIM) Bank,
and militarily confronting North Korea and China in East Asia have
neo-conservatives and globalists cheering but many within Trump’s
political base of «America First» nationalists and libertarians crying
foul.

"America First" is not the same as "America Only".
ReplyDeleteDon't think we'd ever get to only. Come to think of it, I don't believe we ever have.
DeleteAmerica First means putting America first.
ReplyDeleteMost conservatives don't seem to realise how damaging US foreign policy is both to America and to the rest of the world.
It's bizarre how American conservatives mistrust government domestically but trust it in foreign affairs.
I'm no libertarian, but what we have today is an American empire. And it is expensive.
The sad thing is Trump talked about an America First foreign policy, but he hasn't lived up to it. He had the potential to lead Americans to a truer conservatism that would have given us a future here.

666 Fifth Avenue ought to tell the whole story. Two orthodox

Kushner failed to provide all the requested information on his national security questionnaire forms concerning his contacts with foreign persons and interests, has led for congressional calls for his security clearance to be suspended. Can't wait to hear the outcome, if I don't die
waiting. ZOG was never this good even under Obama or Bush.
Many, as well as I, believe this is the reason Melania is
not visiting the WH. She goes to the Florida home but
not the twisted one. What a screwed up mess. Valeria
Jarret was on the same side as the Obama's who was a
house guest. Kushner is creepy.
Sure wish the world would get off the religious spinning wheel.
