I prefer Trump's foreign policy to that of any US president back to maybe Kennedy or Eisenhower, at least.
Yes, we can all still fill screenfuls of criticism of his foreign policy, but I'm convinced that he did believe he was a master-dealmaker and that he did work hard to prove it. He sees seemingly intractable conflicts as challenges for his negotiating skills to overcome.
If he, in the end, did not get much of lasting consequence for peace done during his four years, at least his head was in the right place on the negotiating thing.
