What you can do is you can still get lots of retail sanity, but have some wholesale Madness Riding in the back. But this former cia director thinks the president knows what hes doing. Also tonight, are the tory Election Strategists trapped in Groundhog Day . A weak and Unstable Coalition government. That choice between competence and chaos. Jeremy corbyn, clearly a security risk. The economic chaos of ed miliband. Muddleheaded mugwump. Hell do anything to get into power. And remember this . For the past 17 years i have been working on and dreaming of a bridge that will cross london in complete silence. A bridge with a garden on it. Has the Garden Bridge finally fallen down . The project with serious Financial Issues exposed by this programme has now lost public funding. Whats the final bill . Im a nationalist and a globalist, President Trump declared yesterday reminding us of one thing above all else. Trump is whatever he decides to be, based some say on the very last thought hes had. A chameleon who picks up the colour beneath him, endlessly adaptable, in thought and tongue. As he approaches his 100th day in office, he candidly admits the job was bigger, harder than he thought. He describes tonight the potentialfor a major, major conflict with north korea. And, it seems now, no one is even surprised. Tonight we look back at the beginning of the Trump Presidency militarism, the diplomacy, the Executive Orders and of course the tweets and ask if his heart is really in it for the long haul. First, heres his first 100 days in 100 seconds. Its going to be only America First. 100 days, 100 nights. For his fans, it will be a relief. For his critics, vindication. Donald trump has governed as he campaigned. His relentless focus on ratings landed him in hot water early on. This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period. This kind of dishonesty in the media is making it more difficult. He set about his Executive Orders with zeal. Then came the travel ban, blocked by the courts not once, but twice. By valentines day, he lost his National Security adviser. But his address to congress was praised as president ial. His attempts to smear 0bama for spying were unsuccessful. His attempts at humour incurred the stony merkel glare. But it was the health bill that fully exposed his frailty, a president caught between democrats who found it too harsh, republicans who found it too weak. We came really close today, but we came up short. Day 77 showed his military muscle, shots fired on assads syria. What he moved by dying children, or by the memory of 0bamas indecision . Babies, little babies. He confirmed neil gorsuch on the supreme court. A day later, to everyones surprise, dropped the mother of all bombs on afghanistan. And we will be stronger, and bigger, better. The first 100 days of trump has been volatile and spontaneous. Did his legion of fans or his manifold critics expect any less . I doubt it. As a candidate he opposed nafta and nato hes now reconciled to both. As a candidate he swore to put America First but turned his military might on syria. Trump has pulled in credible people to the roles of defence and Secretary Of State and National Security. But no one knows if he trusts his own daughters judgments more. So what does trumps Foreign Policy now look like . Is he a leader or merely a boss . And is he following a strategy orjust a voice in his head . Heres our diplomatic editor mark urban. American Foreign Policy is made in a Looking Glass world, shaped by powerful officials, competing agencies and interest groups. But the president s role is crucial, and this president , it is clear, puts domestic issues first. We are getting a lot of things done. I dont think there has ever been anything like this. He hasnt travelled abroad during his first 100 days, and the prevailing view in washington is that he has devolved much of Foreign Policy making to his cabinet. This does not amount to a coherent view of Foreign Policy. There is not a coherent Foreign Policy, a coherent sense of what our priorities are, our attitude towards human rights, what that should be. You know, how we should develop certain alliance relationships, how we should have a Long Term Strategy for dealing with opponents, whether it is russia, china, what have you. What you can do is you can still get lots of retail sanity, but have some wholesale Madness Riding in the back. Under 0bama, the military complained of micromanagement. Trump, by contrast, has signed off broad powers to the pentagon. From syria to afghanistan, somalia and libya, more americans are heading in harms way. Rules of engagement are being relaxed and, if the military wants to drop the mother of all bombs, so be it. Trump has given them what they wanted. But what he hasnt given them is policy boundaries. He hasnt given them his full philosophy, his worldview, his Risk Calculation about how much risk he is willing to take in terms of Civilian Casualties or other things, so that they can actually operationalise. I think it is really detrimental to oui Men And Women In Uniform who want to know if the justification for why they are taking risks is going to stay the same from day to day. As for the non kinetic, or soft power side of life, the new Secretary Of State has had to accept a 39 budget cut and is only now, after initially being frozen out by the white house, assuming a bigger role. So, if trump has discarded some of his Wilder Campaign rhetoric, about nato being obsolete, having a trade war with china or cosying up to putin, what is the problem . Particularly if he has done so as a result of listening to expert members of his cabinet. Well, the president s Foreign Policy critics would say all he knows how to do is respond to day to day stimuli, that hes got no idea of an overall strategy. Underlying the Policy Vacuum is the slowness of appointments by this administration. The State Department has 200 vacant political posts, from ambassadors to Assistant Secretaries and policy division heads. Maybe i could be accused, the last administration could be accused of being too focused on process. The fact is, put people like secretary mattis, secretary tillerson, they dontjust come in and make decisions, they have to work through various levels that people have worked over the issues at levels below them, and made sure we were doing something that was smart, and made sense with overall Foreign Policy objectives. That is largely made by the whole contingent of political appointees, many of whom are senate confirmed, that are largely absent from this administration. Some blame the absence of political appointees for the recent mishap where a carrier was said by the white house to be heading for korea, when actually it was far away and getting further. Underlying all of the criticisms is a view that, with some changes of course by the president himself, it is he that Lack Strategy and fosters uncertainty. He will never come to see the importance of consistency and predictability, stability and maturity in foreign affairs. He Still Believes it is a good thing to be unpredictable, that it is a good thing to be very spontaneous and very transactional. Thats very dangerous. Ultimately, the efficacy of trumps delegated approach is likely to be tested in a crisis, with a host of issues, from korea to iran or syria and resolved, that may not be long in coming. Joining me now from new york is ambassador james woolsey, former director of the cia who also advised President Trump during the campaign and transition. And from dc, janine davidson, who served as under secretary of the us navy under president 0bama. It is very nice to have you both. Ambassador woolsey, if i can start with you, do you understand a Foreign Policy on what trump does . I think one may be starting to emerge. The first 100 days of any administration is not a good time to expect consistency and coherence. We are doing our american checks and balance thing. The checks and balances often run away with the substance. The bright side of that is that President Trump has been willing to rethink some things that he thought he got wrong. I think he was focusing too much on the probability of very cordial elections with russia, took another look at it and is now starting to come i think, take a tougher line. He did sort of reverse with china, having put out some very strong statements about trade, and then thinking about it a bit, realising, yes, the chinese are trying to dominate the south china sea, and we dont like that. But he is getting along with china a lot better, i think, than he was
