 libertarian thoughts from hornberger:

The dust-up over NATO confirms, once again, that President Trump, unfortunately, has been absorbed by the same deep state whose existence he sometimes laments. After questioning here in the United States the usefulness of NATO, Trump traveled to a NATO meeting in Europe, where he flipped and declared his firm commitment to this Cold War anachronism, declaring publicly, “I believe in NATO” and publicly expressing his sentiment that NATO is “very unified, very strong, no problem.”
Let’s face the discomforting truth: Trump’s administration is just another four years of Bush-Obama.
Afghanistan? U.S. troops are still there, killing and dying. Like Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, Trump keeps them there.
Iraq? U.S. troops are still there, killing and dying. Like Bush and Obama, Trump keeps them there.
Syria? U.S. troops are still there, killing and dying. Like Bush and Obama, Trump keeps them there. In fact, when Trump expressed a desire to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria, he immediately flipped when he learned that the Pentagon disapproved of that action.

  1. As time goes by, it seems that he is a part of it. Though he seems to be improving the nation's standing in the world in regards to appearances, he has not pulled the U.S. out of anything!
