A stopped clock shows the correct time twice a day. This is even true of Trump but nowhere near that frequency. Maybe right once every other year -- if that.
To wit -- North Korea. Trump is correct that military maneuvers the US and South Korea engage in are provocative to North Korea.
That is why N. Korea sees fit to launch missiles, to effectively say, 'Don't mess with us.'
This is not a defense of North Korea which sounds like a horrible country in many ways.
I should note when Trump does something right, it's often for the wrong reason. I guess he's peeved at S. Korea cos they won't lend a hand for his war with Iran. When he was impeached over cutting off weapons to Ukraine cos he wanted dirt on Biden's son, the inadvertent good thing was cutting off weapons that Ukraine was using to kill their own people, the people in the breakaway Donbass which sought to break from the abandonment of Ukraine neutrality with the coup that the US backed in 2014. Nice going, US. Putin reacted to that coup which installed a hostile-to-Russia president by taking Crimea.
Also, if Trump destroys NATO, that's another good thing in that, per Jeffrey Sachs, 'NATO is a clear and present danger to world peace, a war machine run amok.' But Trump won't be doing so in the name of peace.
