Foreign policy is increasingly disorganized and choatic:

1) North Korea - no deal, no change
2) Iran - lack of response to Iranians shooting down a drone and then the attack on Saudi oil --> Martin Indyk reports that the Saudis have made overtures to the Iranians to squash the Sunni-Shia beef using Iraq and Pakistan as mediators.
3) Erdogan convinces Trump to let him handle the Kurds of Northern/Easter Syria

But the only thing that matters to voters is domestic politics, chiefly the booming economy (Obama's legacy)...if the economy slows as most analysts warn, that would take away the only positive thing Trump has *achieved* in his first term.
