- No government shutdown. What’s in the budget deal?
- Trump tweets: Put an end legislative filibuster? Government shutdown in September?
Then the profs dig in to the “Trump Doctrine” and its shifting positions on foreign policy. What’s behind Trump’s bromance with Philippine strongman, Duterte, and with his thoughts on meeting with Kim Jong Un? Is this flexibility an asset or a hindrance?
