He's like a bull in a china shop, both domestically and internationally. I don't think anyone is calm.
He wants things calm in the Middle East. The Administration's theory of the case is that everyone should stop arguing about Israel, accept the status quo and get down to the business of making tons of money. In that region, he wants the fighting to stop so that businesses can get down to investing and the U.S. can start cutting more deals with the countries in the region.
As we've seen elsewhere, he's not a "regime change" or "human rights" kind of guy. He's a power and money kind of guy. The problem with the Iranian regime (and others) is not that they're authoritarian dictatorships, but that they're too focused on ideology and trying to foment disruption. Instead of what they should be focused on, which is just being in charge of their own country and making money through deals with the U.S.
It's very different than in the U.S. and environs. Here, Trump very much wants to make things run his way, and is willing to be incredibly disruptive. Elsewhere, I don't think he especially cares about domestic human rights issues in Russia or Iran or Venezuela. All he wants is for those countries to be "open for business."
