Can anyone tell me what the tRump Doctrine is? Does anybody know? Does he?

According to the Penguin Dictionary of International Relations, a Doctrine is “a body of beliefs, principles or guidelines to inform policy formulation and conduct”.

Think for a moment about that. Then consider what you may find. Or more appropriately, what you won't.

There's a Wikipedia page for Reagan's Doctrine, Bush I, Clinton, Dubya, and Obama, but as of this moment, an empty page for tRump.

No plan. No policy. Aloof, as the Leader of the Free World. No direction. No guiding principles. Fewer allies. The only thing to go on are a set of alternate facts, rambling speeches, and POs/PMs without a coherent message.

I say this to those who ask everyone to give him a chance. WE HAVE! Time to find grounds to remove him from power before he gets more people killed.
