Delusion
Don’t delude yourself, Trump is not defending democracy overseas. He is behaving like a dictator both at home and abroad. Taking a cynical view of his actions abroad (some might argue realistic view) one would conclude that his reason for seeking peace by dropping bombs in the Middle East is so he can build luxury hotels in Gaza. Hotels you and I could never afford to stay at, nor the people that live there. His Republican benefactors certainly could.
