HUH?
Senior White House Official Describes Trump Foreign Policy In Just Three Chilling Words

Trump’s “America First” policy has been called “America Alone” by some foreign policy and economic experts. One Senior White House official has just lengthened the two-word policy to three words. And they sound chilling.
Chillingly ignorant.
Chillingly offensive.
And chillingly unproductive.
Freelance writer Gary Legum on Twitter put it this way: “Old enough to remember when ‘America Fuck Yeah’ was satire.”
So what’s the Trump administration’s foreign policy that’s going viral on social media?
“The best distillation of the Trump Doctrine I heard,” The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg reports, “came from a senior White House official with direct access to the president and his thinking. I was talking to this person several weeks ago, and I said, by way of introduction, that I thought it might perhaps be too early to discern a definitive Trump Doctrine.”
“No,” the official said. “There’s definitely a Trump Doctrine.”
What is it?, I asked. Here is the answer I received:
“The Trump Doctrine is ‘We’re America, Bitch.’ That’s the Trump Doctrine.”
Seriously?
Seriously.
Some responses via Twitter:
Bush doctrine: “The United States will, if necessary, act preemptively in exercising our inherent right of self-defense.”
Obama Doctrine: “Don’t do stupid shit.”
Trump Doctrine: “We’re America, bitch.” https://t.co/uhqQiczbVD

From MAGA to‘We’re America, Bitch.’” in 60 seconds flat. Jingoism becomes the law of the land. We’re descending to the 7th level of Hell. Good job GOP.
