That's the difference between Trump and neoconservatives, except I will say there is one big exception.
And as Danielle says, you know,
Parties are made up of many different people with many different approaches to foreign policy.
But there is one big former neoconservative.
Some people would say he still is one in the Trump administration, and that's Marco Rubio.
And he does have an ideological motive for wanting to get rid of left-wing dictators in โ
South and Central America.
He's a Cuban-American.
He grew up in the Cuban diaspora.
And, you know, you could say he was born this way to devote his life to trying to topple dictators, left-wing dictators, and restore democracy and human rights to countries like Venezuela and Cuba.
Yeah, I totally agree with that.
He can now do what he wants.
And he has a very different approach to foreign policy than I can think of a modern example in the Republican Party that's like Trump in his view of the way the U.S.
should wield its power overseas.
And Trump didn't like it at all and said that all five of those people should not be reelected.
Only one of them is up for reelection this year, Susan Collins of Maine.
But he didn't like it one bit, even though, as Danielle says, it wasn't that big of a revolt.
He certainly doesn't act like he does.
You know, when both George Bushes were preparing to go to war in Iraq, they spent a lot of time.
They went to Congress.
