Far Left
Abrams, a Republican foreign policy operative with a history including Iran-Contra and support for Latin American death squads, published an editorial warning that Trump is squandering his achievements.
The far left regards Abrams as a war criminal whose criticism of Trump carries zero moral authority, and his prominence in anti-Trump commentary illustrates how the respectable opposition to Trump is itself drawn from the same imperial foreign policy apparatus.
