Among supporters and detractors alike, his transactional approach to foreign policy has upended old notions about the United States as a global leader.

    What an odd and useless article.

    It does quote a few “experts”, but it also attempts to “both sides” an issue that has only one side.

    This is the only side: Trump’s policy sucks. He’s destroying reputation and soft power that was built for 80 years. He isn’t getting results that are helpful for the United States or for Ukraine or for democracy. He gives up leverage to Russia with no benefit to the US or to Ukraine. When he “gets tough” will allies he makes all of the allies realize that he’s a capricious asshole who can’t be trusted.

    The world is trying to figure out whether Trump is just stupid or if he’s intentionally damaging international relationships and the economy to get more power and wealth for himself, or if he’s actually a Russian asset. It appears that all these are true.

    At the end of the article some dumbass Trump voters are quoted and they like the policies. Who cares, they are uninformed idiots and their opinions don’t make the policies any less harmful.
