Long and EXCELLENT!-----The question you have to ask... is this: "Could Donald Trump have achieved a permanent, lasting America First posture, the real doctrine, the thing we all voted for, without first clearing the board of the existential threats that previous administrations allowed to metastasize for decades?"

The answer is no. - Apple Lamps@lamps_apple

Let me take you through it, because the details matter. 

They always matter with this President. 

• He doesn’t do anything by accident. 
• People think he’s impulsive... the media loves that narrative, “Trump is impulsive, Trump is chaotic”... but look at the timeline. 

Look at how this actually played out. 

• Venezuela: The Western Hemisphere First Trump didn’t wake up one morning and decide to grab Maduro. This was months in the making... 
• Iran: The Nuclear Sword of Damocles Iran is the harder case, and I’ll be straight with you... it’s the one that bothers people the most, and I understand why. Because Iran looks like exactly what we said we wouldn’t do...
• Cuba: Cuba is the proof that the doctrine works even when you don’t fire a shot. Nobody invaded Cuba. Nobody bombed Havana. Trump simply cut the lifeline... 

You cannot build a fortress of peace on a foundation of unresolved threats. 

You have to clear the ground first. 

That’s what’s happening...
