The major flaw with the claim that Trump's foreign policy is "realist" is the fact that it is so deeply ideological. There is no "realist" case for driving South Africa into China's embrace, rather than competing for its partnership. The only reason Trump is doing so is based on racist memes.

There is a guy who lives in California who has a very similar email address to mine, enough that I regularly get email meant for him. Most recently it was a notification that his flugelhorn had been serviced and was ready for pickup. He lives a more interesting life than me, I think
