Scott Douglas Jacobsen: So one concern is the Trump Administration in the United States building militarily and provoking seemingly with little cause.
Rick Rosner: Well, when you say little cause, they continue to develop missile systems and weapons.
SDJ: I’ll correct what I said. For instance, the USS—the aircraft carrier into sensitive areas to North Korea. They have begun to prepare for the firing of an intercontinental ballistic as well as preparing a 6th nuclear test. Something like that.
RR: Trump governs by reflex. He governs by what he thinks will give him the most approval. There were messages that he launched missiles into Syria when his daughter Ivanka saw children suffering and cried. It is an understandably human reaction, but it does not reflect a cohesive foreign policy.
SDJ: You read this in the news, right? That she cried.
RR: Yea.
SDJ: It sounds more like media narrative.
RR: It is a trending hashtag on Twitter too: #IvankaCried. Given the way he runs the White House, that seems entirely within line of how things work there right now. He also got a lot of praise from the news channels from various pundits.
