In recent political discourse, the GOP, led by figures like Trump, has come to reject 'regime change' as a strategy, which they blame for endless conflicts. Trump criticized Bush's Middle Eastern policies, and has maintained this stance towards Iran. However, critics point to contradictions in his administration's actions, particularly the continued push for regime change in Venezuela and Musk's controversial influence promoting right-wing movements globally. As the director of national intelligence, Gabbard's criticism further highlights this dichotomy between rhetoric and reality in GOP foreign policy.
In 2016, Trump quickly rose to the top of the Republican presidential primary because he alone was willing to denounce, in memorable terms, George W. Bush's failed attempt to remake the Middle East.
Billionaire tech executive Elon Musk has encouraged right-wing political movements, policies and administrations in at least 18 countries in a global push to slash immigration and curtail regulation of business.
Richard Grenell, Trump's envoy for special missions, told right-wing activists meeting at the Conservative Political Action Conference, 'Under Donald Trump, we don't do regime change.'
Tulsi Gabbard, the newly minted director of national intelligence, is a fierce critic of what she calls 'regime change wars.'
