Trump's Foreign Policy is a big departure from President's past. He removed the criminal leading Venezuela, Iran is about to fall and, not getting much press is the full court press on Cuba. Not a fully named embargo but little oil is getting in and they likely have less than 30 days reserve on island. Interesting that Maduro's protection element was all Cuban and it is coming to light that there was a lot of fentanyl coming in through via and enabled by Cuba. Numerous Russian military transports have landed in Cuba the last three weeks...intel indicated Air Defense, attack drones and ECM assets. Would be interesting if he took, Iran, Venezuela and Cuba all off the table as threats in a single term.

I was in New Zealand recently and on a whim, I managed to go out and fly a Pacific Aerospace CT/4 trainer. Fairly unknown in the US... I don't believe any are airworthy here. This one was the first of two prototypes, before it went into production in NZ. It was built in 1972. The pilot I flew with was one of the handful of former NZAF A-4K pilots (only 168 total), and is a pretty accomplished warbird pilot. We did some sightseeing, AHC, and light aerobatics. It was "different". Really enjoyed getting to fly a piece of NZ aviation history.

Mine’s not gas, it’s diesel.

This is what happens when you hire people into your administration based solely on their celebrity status. Pretending like these people have any appreciation for the Constitution or conservative rights more broadly is naive. They are where they are because they exist only to accrue power and fame. It's why so many of them switch parties when they become pariahs in their own. Trump is a good example. He has a very specific set of issues and policies that he cares about, and frequently steps on a conservative landmine on issues he doesn't care about, like gun control. Then his base loses their mind, and he quickly pivots on that issue to align more conservatively.
