How many people portrayed Trump as a peacenik? Off the top of my head, I can think of a handful (Justin Raimondo, Michael Tracey, Glenn Greenwald). I see these people as having less of an impact than the misjudgements of the Clinton campaign.

You're not a Trump supporter! I think Jeff was saying that you portrayed Trump as a peacenik.

Jeet HeerVerified account @HeerJeetReplying to @owenrumney @SmelOdiesOG @ggreenwald"The thing is Trump's foreign policy instincts are often good but he doesn't know how to make them into policy." Trump doesn't want war with Iran but through his ignorance of policy has appointed Bolton & now is stuck with bad policy. So original position still stands.1 reply 1 retweet 5 likes -
You haven't called him a peacenik, but I think you've oversold his isolationist and antiwar tendencies, esp. given what we know now.

March 2016, I specifically wrote that isolationist was the wrong term for Trump and he's a unilateralist -- a tradition of nationalist assertion rather than pacifism.https://newrepublic.com/article/132044/donald-trumps-foreign-policy-revolution …

Then why did you keep using the term? You on Trump in June 2016: "frothy isolationism"pic.twitter.com/AxtkPG2WaH

Both the Clinton campaign & wider press continued to use isolationist & didn't adopt my more accurate term of unilateralist. In this context, "frothy" was designed to modify isolationist to indicate that Trump wasn't really an isolationist.

Weird, can't imagine why neither the press nor the campaign adopted "unilateralist"
