I am no admirer of US President Donald J Trump. Neither am I an American fanaticist. I am not a naïve believer in American exceptionalism or that America is the home of virtue and the ultimate land of opportunity.
America is a deeply flawed country. But despite the hypocrisy in many of its policies, America has always maintained a latent desire to seek the overall good for the majority of its citizens, those that it considers strategically important and to a large measure, the world.
