1. The Bolton departure has revived the whole question of whether Trump is a dove (or dovish) or not, which I think (pace Nate Silver) is the wrong frame-work for thinking about Trump's clownish foreign policy.https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/1171470117957300225 …

3. This is Trump's M.O. all the time: break something (NAFTA, China trade, Iran deal) and then try and patch up differences (hence his back-channel feelers to Iran). Or in real estate terms: insult a property to distress its value, buy it cheap, stamp the TRUMP logo on it.

Exactly. Trump promised his base he would undo or outdo Obama. That's the real driver for his foreign policy. It's to be hoped that his personal goals coincide with a reduction in US hostilities..
