Is Trump embracing aggressive withdrawal?

I was wondering if I was engaging in wishful thinking.  If it happened it would be a great way to resolve the 4T more or less in the way you envision.

Also, there is little doubt the lizard people have a hand in all this.

It would be a damned sight better than the way Alphabet is pushing to end it, and which my non-S&H-reading friends were beginning to notice in 2016 with all the rhetoric about Putin.
China too, I was reading a book about Obama and Hillary in the White House by some guy from the NYT where he was relating something I found indicative of the split between the two:

Quote:A few months after my interview in her office, another split emerged when Obama picked up a secure phone for a weekend conference call with Clinton, Gates and a handful of other advisers. It was July 2010, four months after the North Korean military torpedoed a South Korean Navy corvette, sinking it and killing 46 sailors. Now, after weeks of fierce debate between the Pentagon and the State Department, the United States was gearing up to respond to this brazen provocation. The tentative plan — developed by Clinton’s deputy at State, James Steinberg — was to dispatch the aircraft carrier George Washington into coastal waters to the east of North Korea as an unusual show of force.
But Adm. Robert Willard, then the Pacific commander, wanted to send the carrier on a more aggressive course, into the Yellow Sea, between North Korea and China. The Chinese foreign ministry had warned the United States against the move, which for Willard was all the more reason to press forward. He pushed the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mike Mullen, who in turn pushed his boss, the defense secretary, to reroute the George Washington. Gates agreed, but he needed the commander in chief to sign off on a decision that could have political as well as military repercussions.
Gates laid out the case for diverting the George Washington to the Yellow Sea: that the United States should not look as if it was yielding to China. Clinton strongly seconded it. “We’ve got to run it up the gut!” she had said to her aides a few days earlier. (The Vince Lombardi imitation drew giggles from her staff, who, even 18 months into her tenure, still marveled at her pugnacity.)
Obama, though, was not persuaded. The George Washington was already underway; changing its course was not a decision to make on the fly.
I don’t call audibles with aircraft carriers,” he said — unwittingly one-upping Clinton on her football metaphor.


Emphasis mine.

Pure lizard people behavior, right there.
