Even as Donald
Trump and his MAGA movement have seized virtually complete control of the
Republican Party, there remain at least two factions competing for dominance of
foreign policy: an isolationist gang and a warmongering interventionist cabal.
The strains between them seemingly remain unresolved, and there are real
strategic debates and disagreements about what direction Trump’s foreign policy
should take.
