Mulvaney insists he did not admit quid pro quo, despite saying "we do that all the time"

Trump Takes Incoherence and Inhumanity and Calls It Foreign Policy
He was right when he said, “Foreign policy is what I’ll be remembered for.”

I began this column with a note of praise for Obama for confronting the Yazidi genocide and saving many lives. It’s also true that Syria was Obama’s greatest foreign policy failure, and I repeatedlycriticized his passivity as hundreds of thousands were killed.

Yet at least Obama was always wrestling deeply with the issues, seeking out expert opinions and trying to make the most informed decisions possible. While I questioned his judgment on Syria, I never doubted his seriousness, compassion or integrity.

Trump in contrast is callow, reckless and indifferent. What he has done in Syria is not foreign policy. It is vandalism.
