Gerard Baker writes: “Part of the problem the foreign policy establishment has with Mr. Trump is that it’s hard to stomach that a dilettante has been so effective. Whatever you think of the president, his inconsistencies, his curious taste for the world’s autocrats and his bombast, his efforts have proved more consequential than those of the bipartisan foreign policy establishment that came before him. On the three biggest strategic challenges the U.S. confronts—the Middle East, China and the Western alliance—the president has radically reoriented U.S. policy.”
“Bob Gates, another former Republican foreign policy official who actually served in government with Mr. Biden, once said that the Democratic nominee had been “wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.” A Glorious Restoration indeed.”
