and matthew kroenig is a professor at jonestown and his school of service.atthew, i'm going to start with you because i'm guessing that you're going to be the most sympathetic to donald trump. and so, i'm going to engage in a little athortive action here. tell me, in your view, how has donald trump's trip gone so far? >> overall, i think it's been a real success. early on, many people thought this was going to be an isolationist administration. and what this trip shows at the broadest level, that's not the case. the administration is very much engaged in the middle east, in europe. two of the most important geo-strategic regions to the united states. second, we've seen the administration is able to stay on-message. the trip was orchestrated and carried out very well. even some critics early on -- even supporters of the administration, including myself early on, did criticize the administration for message discipline, having a hard time sticking to a core strategy. and here, we've seen the administration has stuck to its message on this trip. you may not like
