Opinion | Trump Is Breaking the Rule That Every Barroom Brawler Knows
Briefly

President Trump's actions during the first 100 days of his second term raise concerns over his national security strategy, as he appears to provoke enemies and alienate allies. His confrontational stance towards China lacks the support of strong alliances and competent leadership. The administration has been criticized for chaos within the Pentagon, lack of military expertise in key roles, and poor communication regarding sensitive information. Simultaneously, he has undermined the State Department and NATO, risking U.S. security at a precarious global moment.
Provoking your enemies, alienating your friends, and sabotaging defenses is no one's idea of sound national security, yet this is President Trump's approach.
He promised to make America safe again, but instead of building defenses, he's dismantling them when they are most needed.
