Trump hasn't changed US Foreign Policy though

Nikki Haley is condemning Russia at the UN as Samantha Power did

The US position on Ukraine hasn't changed

He's pivoted a little on Syria but the Pentagon is doing the same anti ISIS strategy, just on overdrive with Kurdish support

He's been increasing drone strikes

There really is no grand change with Trump. He's continuing most Obama foreign policy measures.

The domestic policy stuff may have been in discourse but really limited as the Tea Party isn't even 8 years old and the GOP had unified government just 11 years ago. They spent money like hell and got us in 2 wars and tax cuts they didn't care to pay for.

Antagonizing and outright disrespecting your strongest and closest allies is a huge shift in the US foreign policy posture.

shytting on Germany so publicly.
shytting on the Australians.
Lying on the British.
shytting on the NATO alliance.
Suggesting Japan may need to get nukes.
Muslim ban.
The only reason they haven't made a dramatic shift on Ukraine is bc of the Flynn disclosures.

Driving a wedge between the US and NATO is one of Russia's primary strategic foreign policy objectives.

This is important because clappers talking point had been used by conservatives in the past to claim there was no investigation.

I think they did that on purpose. Clappers statement had Trumpworld feeling extra comfortable. No way that Clapper would've been kept in the dark.

The thing is his cabinet members are using typical conservative establishment foreign policy rhetoric

Pence went to Germany for Munich Conference for example
