Then after Iran test fired a ballistic missile-clearly acceptable under last year's nuclear agreement between the P5+1 and Iran-on Wednesday Trump's national security advisor Michael Flynn said, "As of today, we are officially putting Iran on notice" while Haley called the test "unacceptable".
So is this all bluster or a prelude to taking action? Again it's hard to say.
There was a time the policies of the president were understood and followed by all the key members of his administration and lower functionaries wouldn't openly criticize the president's policies.
Yet under Obama such understandings were clearly broken when some 51 State Department diplomats in a memo signed by them then leaked to the MSM urged strikes against Syrian President Bashar Assad, a policy in open disagreement with the president.
Then there's the Pentagon and the CIA -going off the reservation?- after having trained and armed different mercenary jihadists had them fighting against each other in Syria revealing the disarray of any Obama policy in Syria.
Now in the new Trump administration policy actions have been few. No to TPP, authorizing the wall being built on the Mexican border, some new immigration policies regarding Muslims but no actual foreign policy actions taking place, just rhetoric from officials that seems to indicate new policy actions may be imminent.
Thus it's premature to know what foreign policy actions Trump will actually take.
And considering the "Donald's" penchant for twittering his every thought at any given moment-and contradicting something he said earlier-who knows what policies, foreign or domestic- he'll actually carry out.
That unfortunately is the scary part.
