Donald
Trump is a realist and a pragmatist. He has to be, because he wouldn't
last in business if he was mentally fixated on only one way to get
things done. So he's tried and failed, changed his mind many times, kept
what works and dumped what doesn't work.
This is pretty much what realists have to do. The United States has just (barely) survived eight years of Obama, who is a fixated ideologue. Obama never listens to other people because
he is cognitively stuck. When the Arab Spring failed, he didn't turn to Egypt's President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, who managed to save his country from the Muslim Brotherhood. Obama just kept supporting the MB's in Egypt, because they are just as mentally fixated as he is.
Marxists believe in terror to create utopia, and so does the Ikhwan. They see each other as natural allies. They both believe in global rule through centralized control. Obama never learned from the crash of the Soviet Union, and jihad never learns from a thousand years of political anarchy. If you live in your head, reality always comes as a surprise. And you never have to change your mind.
When Gorbachev's Soviet Union was falling apart, the Central Committee would go Bozhe Moi! (My God!) whenever another piece of bad news came in. It kept coming in, because everybody was deeply indoctrinated in false beliefs. Nothing worked.
