100 Days Of Trump

Patrick Cockburn who is an author of the book titled: The rise of Islamic State: ISIS and the new Sunni Revolution, noted in his analysis of Trump that some politicians and establishment media have warmly greeted what they see as President Trump’s return to the norms of American foreign policy. He posited that they welcome the actual or threatened use of military force in Syria, Afghanistan and North Korea, and praise his appointment of a bevy of generals to senior security posts.

A striking feature of Trump’s first 100 days was the way in which the campaign to demonise him and his entourage as creatures of the Kremlin was suddenly switched off like a light as soon as he retreated from his earlier radicalism.
