Trump's aversion is to sort of these, you know, he ran on a promise to end forever wars, the war in Iraq and the war in Afghanistan.

And,

you know, sort of using American boys and girls to export democratic values abroad.

But he is open to, you know, now we can sort of say it's the F around and find out doctrine.

But before that, it was what I thought of as the one and done doctrine, which he was actually quite open to these short kinetic bursts of force, right?

So a

single, powerful, you know, ideally in his world, kind of looks like a badass video game strike on Iran.

And even what happened in Venezuela, and we may see the secondary and third level consequences, right, but was a wild success for the American military, right?

It was a quick, precise extraction of a president who everyone agreed was a quote-unquote bad guy.

And so he is open to those

sorts of foreign policy adventurism in a way.

Or look at Pam Bondi's recent hearing, right?

I mean, she is trying to win her way back into the president's good graces by just sort of

going hard at Democrats and all of his rivals.

And then at one point, you know, during that hearing as a sort of non sequitur, talking about how great the Dow was.

Trying to turn a House Oversight Committee into what we just discussed is a Trump cabinet meeting, right?

I'm just going to praise the president.

That is how they do it.

And he's sort of like Don from Queens, a consummate talk radio caller or host.

It's a very good medium for him, frankly.
