Trump has demonstrated himself to be neither of those.
See Kurds, Ukraine, Theresa May, Macron, Hong Kong, Korea and on have been thrown under the bus for short term political gains and that's the best I can attribute his motives to.

Who will the Russians pick off after Ukraine?
What will China do after the South China Sea domination as their next step?
China in Central America, Bahamas?

Remember Great Britain, now on their way to becoming England with a few associates.
“doesn’t matter if that’s reality or a
model.”

it matters if the model is a lousy model with laughable assumptions.

we set china on the path to becoming a dominant force, long before january 2017.

and again, when Romney expresses concern about Russia, Obama mocked him, and everyone loved when Obama
did so.
