Trump fails to impress foreign-policy experts - A speech aimed at boosting his credibility got low marks from across the spectrum.



Trump?s speech received a failing grade for coherence and drew snickering and scorn from foreign policy insiders who remain unconvinced that Trump is up to the job.

?It struck me as a very odd mishmash,? said Doug Bandow, a foreign policy scholar at the libertarian Cato Institute, who shares many of Trump?s beliefs about scaling back America?s role abroad. ?He called for a new foreign policy strategy, but you don?t really get the sense he gave one.?

Trump?s speech was ?lacking in policy prescriptions,? and its ?strident rhetoric masked a lack of depth,? said Robert ?Bud? McFarlane, a former national security adviser to President Ronald Reagan who attended the speech.
