I actually think he’s one of the most honest politicians in modern history. I know that’s a really low bar. For good and bad, he does speak his mind instead of the usual focus group tested politically correct rhetoric that most politicians speak in. I think he’s comfortable with lying to save his own skin, but I don’t think he lies about his political beliefs very often.

Incidentally honest. He wants to project power because US enemies and frenemies are rallying behind China. The only thing Trump knows is branding so you get a name change to intimidate our adversaries.

Considering he is currently deploying armed forces in a non-war "defense" of our own cities, the rebrand is actually quite ironic.
