What does Trump really intend? What is bluff, braggadocio, and bargaining and what is not? Because he does not have a philosophy or a national-security strategy, and often doesn’t seek pre-conceived objectives, observers from left to right are often confounded. Trump is the very epitome of “transactional,” his one immutable focus being himself. Accordingly, assessing […]
Read MoreDr. David Wurmser As we enter the final dramatic moments of the Gaza episode, the issue of Egypt and its peace with Israel is entering unchartered territory. Moreover, this is not the result of only events in the last weeks, but the culmination of much longer-term dynamics that cannot easily, or even at all, be […]
Donald Trump’s remarks on the Gaza Strip after his February 4 meeting with Israeli Prime Minster Bibi Netanyahu precipitated enormous controversy and confusion. They were not idle musings, but written in advance. Typically, Trump wandered off-script, speculating about using US military force in Gaza, which White House handlers walked back the next day. Trump himself […]
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s meeting with President Donald Trump, the first post-inaugural White House visit by a foreign leader, could shape the Middle East for generations. Pre-meeting speculation centered on how the leaders would handle the Hamas-Israel war. Stunningly, Trump’s comments just before and then after his meeting with Netanyahu focused on the U.S. […]
Trump likes dealing with authoritarian leaders like Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, which is dangerous for our national security because he doesn't fully understand the stakes nor the concessions he's been making.
What does our relationship look like with India in a second Trump term? I spoke with @WIONews on PM Modi's trip to Washington:
It's easy to achieve "peace" if you're willing to surrender.

The real problem in international trade today is China, which is distorting the trading systems in many different ways. A sensible approach to trade issues would be to focus on the country causing the distortions by joining with our allies instead of threatening a trade war…
Endless concessions to Moscow are a threat to American national security. This week the Trump Admin blew up the NATO position on Ukraine and the Belovezha Accords, which broke up the Soviet Union. This puts every other former republic of the Soviet Union at risk of Russian…
Trump admires authoritarian leaders like Putin and thinks they are friends. Putin is too cold-blooded for that. He's a former KGB agent - he knows exactly what he wants and he's going to get it. @LukaszDynowski

Putin scored a major victory over the U.S., NATO, and Ukraine this week, which is why Putin did not negotiate with Biden or Zelensky. He waited to negotiate with Trump because he believed the Kremlin would get more out of a Trump deal. And he was absolutely right.
It is unconscionable to allow Russia to assault Ukraine’s sovereignty, recruit enemies like North Korea to aid in their fight, and then sell out the Ukrainians by conceding the loss of their territory and NATO security guarantees or membership. By making these and others…
Looks like Trump agrees with John Marshall and not JD Vance. Trump gives the right answer - it’s fine to appeal, but he will always abide by court orders.
JD Vance must have slept through his Constitutional law class at Yale. Just to remind, see Chief Justice John Marshall in Marbury v. Madison (1803): "It is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is."
The Chinese have been waging economic warfare against us for 30 years while the U.S. has largely failed to respond. It's time we ban all Chinese imports that rely in whole or in part on stolen American intellectual property.
