In an interview with Time Magazine released today, Trump returned to a familiar theme and declared: "I have the highest of IQs. I have the highest." Right. Because all of the smartest people I've ever known make a habit of repeatedly declaring publicly how smart they are.

I disagree with the idea that Trump is the symptom, not the cause of US foreign policy changes. Leaders also have agency. These mysterious structures did not compel the US to got to war with Iran, blow up our alliances, destroy our trade relations or threaten to invade Greenland. Trump did.
