Top 10 best is easy.
1) Getting China to agree to investing $80+ billion in West Virginia coal infrastructure. That's more than West Virginia's GDP. We're gonna sell the Chinese our coal, and make them pay for it twice.
2) Getting NATO countries to pay up and actually make the required military investments for NATO.
3) The Tax Bill. Nothing makes me happier than Germany screaming about how they'll lose companies to the US when Germany used the EU to steal companies from other member nations.
Yes, I know technically tax cuts aren't foreign policy, but Trump is the first president in my lifetime to address the severe handicap the United States was operating under in the global economy.
4) Refusing to certify the Iran Deal. Obama's foreign policy was in a game of chicken for being worse than Bush's foreign policy. I think the Iran Deal and knowing what was done to sell it to the American people made it clear Obama was the winner of the Bad Idea Bears award
5) Strengthening our ties to the Middle East. Can a journalist somewhere PLEASE be educated enough to understand the significance of that trip?!?
6) Appointing Rex Tillerson, a quiet backroom dealer who avoids the limelight, as Secretary of State rather than a press-hogging showboat like Clinton. She used the Secretary of State position as a campaign for her future run for president. Rex Tillerson just does his job.
7) Repairing our relationship with the Phillipines, one of our best partners in the Pacific. Why that relationship was allowed to degrade under the Obama administration is another example of Obama's complete failure at foreign policy. Oh, and ISIS is there too. Thanks Obama!
8) Instigating the renegotiation of NAFTA. Not that its been renegotiated, but just drawing all those bureaucrats to a quagmire so actual bilateral trade deals could be cut elsewhere is huge.
9) Withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accords, which fell apart as soon as it became clear the US wouldn't foot the bill. Amazing how eager the rest of the world is to spend the US' money.
10) Slashing the US contribution to the UN budget as well as withdrawing from UNESCO. See zinger for point 9.
