| Donald Trump’s big foreign policy speech at the National Press Club in Washington, DC yesterday has received a cold reception from the editorial board of the New York Times, which derided the address as failing to exhibit “much grasp of the complexity of the world, understanding of the balance or exercise of power, or even a careful reading of history.” | |
| In an editorial titled Donald Trump’s Strange Worldview, the Grey Lady’s editorial board summed up a potential “Trump Doctrine” as: “When one has a hammer, everything looks like a nail. And when one’s experience is limited to real estate deals, everything looks like a lease negotiation.” | |
| This unilateral approach makes for good television, but this is the real world, in which other nations have agendas, too. Mr. Trump says he is ‘going to be working very closely with our allies in the Muslim world, all of which are at risk from radical Islamic violence.’ But how will he gain cooperation for his ‘unpredictable’ war on the Islamic State while enforcing a ‘pause’ that prevents Muslims from entering this country, and forcing those living here to register themselves? | |
| How does one ‘apply leverage on China necessary to rein in North Korea,’ while slapping a trade-killing tariff on Chinese imports? It’s correct that many of our NATO allies aren’t paying their agreed-upon share of its costs - but what happens to the United States’ overseas bases if we ‘walk?’ | |
| The editorial concludes that Trump has failed to demonstrate “any willingness to learn or to correct his past errors. For someone who claims he is ready to lead the free world, that is inexcusable.” | |
