美情報總監下台 川普鐵粉接班

兩點觀察 Two observations：

●川普團隊的外交政策自我扞格。

川普手下的職業軍人和情報官比他自己更務實的觀察國際局勢。例如，他們認為北韓不會自毀核子武器，而他認為北韓將要自毀核子武器。

另外一例，由白邦瑞提出。川普手下很多人認為中國是邪惡的敵人，而川普不認為如此，否則她孫女為何三歲就學中文唱中國歌？當選總統前，川普一心一意要去中國賺大錢。白邦瑞說，川普只是不想看到中國超越美國成世界首強。

The Trump team has exhibited its cognitive dissonance in foreign policy with the professional soldiers and intelligence officers being the more realistic and even more hawkish on one side and the President himself being the less realistic and sometimes the less hawkish on the other side.

For example, the professionals have observed that North Korea will not abandon its nuclear weapons while Trump has indicated that North Korea will do so.

Dr. Michael Pillsbury indicated on July 25 that President Trump did not view China as enemy as many of advisors did. Pillsbury revealed that Trump just was concerned that China might replace the U.S. as the world's leader.
