In this podcast, Jim Pfaff addresses the basic problem DeSantis and Haley supporters have with Donald Trump. They believe he is going to lose bad and that he will be a disaster if he is elected President. I disagree.
Some DeSantis supporters claim it will be a disaster if Trump is re-elected. I claim Trump is on his way to re-election if things continue as is and if elected how his foreign policy record is what we need. He was among the best of any President. His feud with Tillerson had as much to do with Tillerson as Trump. No one is without blame just because "well, you know....Trump." But the results were real and (I will repeat) in the top of all Presidencies. That's an objective fact. The result are numerous:
1) Peaceful relations started with North Korea
2) The Abraham Accords
3) No wars
4) Russia kept at bay and a move to LNG from Russian Natural Gas in Europe
5) China at bay
6) NATO countries increased their financial participation.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg praised the U.S. president: “Let me thank you for the leadership you show on the issue of defense spending. … It is really having an impact because … allies are now spending more on defense.”
7) A Middle East regional alliance against ISIS
8) Freedom of Navigation (FONOPS) in the South China Sea pushing back against Chinese attempts to control the most significant area of international trade
9) Began moving ASEAN to bring the US into fuller cooperation reducing China's influence in that organization
Just to name a few.
Maybe the only foreign policy mistake he made (and it's a big one) is not supporting the Hong Kong freedom movement which allowed China to gain effective control of the city-state in violation of the 1999 treaty between Great Britain and the CCP.
