Itâs an inconvenient truth: the president of the United States has no coherent foreign policy. Period. At times Donald Trump talks sensibly about pulling out of quagmires in Syria and Afghanistan, while simultaneously ratcheting up threats against Americaâs favorite (at least since 1979) punching bag â Iran. Heâs also loaded up his administration with the most hawkish of Iranophobes: National Security Adviser John Bolton and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Those two have never seen a problem they couldnât blame on Iran or a solution that didnât include regime change.
