      18. Trump (and I suspect people around him like Bannon) are trying to chart a course before bureaucracy can start stonewalling them.

      19. The rigmarole about Secretary of State fits into the idea that the Trump inner circle is afraid their agenda will be curtailed by gov't

      20. Needless to say, we're in a very dangerous situation. Major unknown is any pushback Trump will get from GOP, deep state, & business

      21. GOP, deep state & big business all want things from Trump (tax cuts, arms build up) but also have reason to fear him.

      22. So there is a race between extracting as much benefit from Trump's presidency as they can (tax cuts) & pushing back at his heterodoxy

      25. Will Trump's foreign policy revolution succeed? Unlike Nixon or Cheney, Trump (and Bannon) don't seem to know bureaucracy well.

      26. Other presidents can draw on cadre of policy makers from think tanks & universities (AEI for neo-cons, Brookings for Dems). Trump can't

      27. There are some shrewd foreign policy thinkers who are sympathetic to aspects of Trumpism (say Andrew Bacevich or Stephen Walt).

      28. But as far as I can tell Trump & Bannon have made no effort to reach out to such potential intellectual allies.

          29. So Trump/Bannon have a radical foreign policy agenda but how to they implement it when state dept. bureaucracy will be hostile?

          I think we just saw. Handing Trump the phone, and making the State Dept. play catchup.
