As DJT becomes more and more "America First", could he be the first GOP President to break the trend of foreign intervention since the League of Nations?

Hopefully he can do this and resist the Lindsay Graham type interventionists in his own party, and I still wonder if having Flynn instead of Bolton as national security advisor would be helpful, but that is water under the bridge.

Nationalism doesn't mean that America is going to be dovish; you can be dovish while still being involved on an international level.

I am confident that given another two years Donnie the wanna-be dictator will make a try at starting a short and victorious war somewhere. (His chief handicap in accomplishing this is that as an unlikable, ignorant and stupid egomaniac he is in very poor position to pull the levers and push the buttons that typically lead us to wars of choice.)

Unfortunately I think Trump ismjust as impulsive getting into wars as he is getting out of them.  I wouldn’t label him a dove.  More like a skunk.

I am ready for peace. Appeasement is folly, and defeatism is treason.

There's one bird that accurately symbolizes T***p's foreign policy, but it ain't a dove.

That's one reason I voted for him.  I'm tired of endless wars, endless nation-building, and endless military involvements that do little but provoke resentments with the rest of the world but have little to do with our own national security.

The ironic thing is that his policies of envious appeasement are probably going to get us into a war.

I'm totally down for Trump to make Woodrow Wilson cry in his grave with his more isolationist foreign policy.

Trump has finally (mostly) gotten rid of the neocons and interventionists who he was surrounded by in the first 2 years of his presidency. The Syria withdrawal and partial Afghanistan withdrawal are among the finest moments of his tenure so far. He's unreliable as hell but hopefully he'll continue down his path - I am a few years too young to even remember the day America was not at war, and I'm sick of the neoconservative strangehold on foreign policy. Let's hope that Yemen and the rest of Afghanistan withdrawal are next.

Hopefully he comes to his senses and fires Bolton.
