Trump outlines isolationist policy and advisor team

– Sharia threat –

On counterterrorism policy, Trump is listening to Walid Phares, an academic whom Mother Jones magazine has reported as being formerly tied to civil war-era Lebanese Christian warlords.

For defense, Trump turned to Keith Kellogg, a retired US Army lieutenant general turned consultant who was chief operating officer to the US occupation of Iraq during its disastrous early months in 2003 and 2004.

Another pick, Joe Schmitz, also served during Bush’s administration – as inspector general to the Pentagon – and later in a senior role with US mercenary outfit Blackwater.

He co-authored a report for a little-known conservative think tank, the Center for Security Policy, entitled: “Sharia – The Threat to America.”

The list is rounded out by energy experts Carter Page and George Papadopoulos, who previously advised Trump’s defeated rival for the Republican flag-bearer role, renowned brain surgeon Ben Carson.

Trump outlined what the Post’s story called his “an unabashedly non-interventionist approach to world affairs” shortly before he was due to address the pro-Israel lobby group AIPAC.
