Trump's Foreign Policy can be summed up as:
- Reduction in foreign entanglements and bring troops home (pulled us out of Iraq, Syria), reductions in Afghanistan.
- Pressured our allies to pay more for our protection and to start raising their own defense spending (NATO)
- Reduction in foreign aid, especially subsidizing countries that hate us (including the U.N.)
- Raise sanctions and diplomatic pressure on "bad" actor nations (Iran, North Korea, Russia and giving Ukraine Weapons, Mexico with illegal immigration/drugs)
- Working to end unfair trade to restore free trade: reworking NAFTA (USMCA), ended TPP and renegotiated with China (promised for the UK and EU next).
- Recognizing Jerusalem as capital of Israel and moving our Embassy there (after 40 years of empty promises).
Examples
- ⬆ Jerusalem as capital of Israel. The duh that outraged the haters. We know appeasement of Palestine and the Arab world hasn't worked, so time to just favor our allies.
- ⬆ The U.N. - calling them out on their bullshit, cutting their budget.
- ⬆ Three black UCLA athletes arrested for shoplifting in China? Trump negotiated their release within the week. Obama let Otto Warmbier die due to his imprisonment.
- ⬆Improved relations with China - many will assume that China offering the highest respects they've offered any leader since their founding is all pomp and circumstance, and that might be true. But there's significance in formality, even while they're trying to stroke the ego of foreign countries, and we'll see what concessions/agreements get made. Either way, this is an improvement over the cool reception and ignoring Obama admin for 8 years. [1] -- but also won't put up with their bullshit when they're wrong, and dresses them down over issues that are not in America's best interests.
- ⬆ Cuba Deal - Cancelling Obama's "one-sided Cuba Deal", and won't lift sanctions until political prisoners are freed. If you value civil rights for political prisoners, and the U.S. taking moral positions, then Trump was right and Obama was wrong -- even if like me, you think that we should have figured out how to end the Cuba impasse, long ago. [2]
- ↔ Trump Trade - I'm a fair trader, not a free trader or a protectionist. Trump lets his mouth get ahead of the facts, and leans a little too protectionist for me. But then others didn't stand up for American jobs, rules that are good for America, or enforcement. So Trump goes too far, at times. I could dislike his views, if the media/left didn't exaggerate them (and ignore their sides many bigger failues) and turn me off their cause. But in general, I know that he's putting America's interests first -- which is more than I can say for most administrations which figure if we bend over and treat them nicely, they won't look out for their best interests. History proves them wrong.

2020.08.13 UAE and Israel - AP completely discredits itself by calling this "a rare diplomatic win". If a Democrat Administration had brokered a massive diplomatic coup that ended the gulf Arab blockade against Israel (or roadmap for one), and got Israel to stop annexation plans in the West Bank, they'd being trumpeting this historical event. But they're trying to downplay the historic event, because it was done by Donald Trump.
2020.01.03 Qassim Soleimani killed by Trump - After a dozen attacks by Iran, Trump killed a really, really bad guy (that ran their terror operations). OrangeMan is bad (to the far left and their media). Thus this was a bad thing that was going to cause WWIII, and it was all our fault. Whether intentional or through blind bias/incompetence, those that railed against this action demonstrate that they are anti-American trash that would rather see America burn, or our enemies thrive, than admit Trump did something right.
