Is Trump an isolationist or interventionist?

When President Trump addressed U.S. troops at MacDill Air Force Base last week in Florida, he sounded about as hawkish as you can get, anxious to unleash the full fury of America's military to end the scourge of radical Islamic terrorism.

"And we are prepared to fight," he said, as he acknowledged he was taking a page from President Ronald Regan's military doctrine of "peace through strength."

Just a few days before, Trump made one of the weightiest decisions a commander in chief can make: whether to send U.S. troops into battle.

He signed off on an audacious, risky raid by U.S. Navy SEALs deep into Yemen to strike at the heart of al Qaeda.

In Tampa, he heaped praise on U.S. special operation commandos as "legendary warriors" who can be dispatched on "the most secret, sensitive and daring missions" in defense of the United States.
