If you’re horrified by the foreign policy of U.S. President Donald Trump, you probably believe that he is betraying American friends (such as NATO and Ukraine), principles (democracy and sovereignty) and also interests (by sowing global chaos and anarchy).
It doesn’t help that his national-security lieutenants give off a general air of incompetence, texting each other and also a random journalist about detailed war plans.
If you’re a MAGA partisan, however, every national-security idea that might seem crazy — annexing Canada and Greenland, building Rivieras in the Gaza Strip, sending heart emojis "to Russia with love” — instead reflects Trump playing four-dimensional chess, too sophisticated for mere mortals to fathom.
