Though somewhat [[conservative]] in his early days as a congressman, Cheney subsequently reaped tens of millions of dollars from a multinational corporation associated with a policy of foreign interventionalism by the United States. Cheney then became an aggressive cheerleader for the [[neocon]] agenda of foreign wars and even the [[NSA]] domestic spying program.<ref>[https://www.foxnews.com/politics/cheney-defends-nsa-programs-says-snowden-a-traitor-obama-lacks-credibility Cheney defends NSA programs, says Snowden a 'traitor,' Obama 'lacks credibility']</ref> With his neocon positions, Cheney's approval rating hovered at about only 30% as vice president,<ref>[https://news.gallup.com/poll/28159/americans-ratings-dick-cheney-reach-new-lows.aspx Americans' Ratings of Dick Cheney Reach New Lows]</ref> dropping to 13% when he left office.<ref>[https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2011/08/remembering-why-americans-loathe-dick-cheney/244306/ Remembering Why Americans Loathe Dick Cheney]</ref>
Dick Cheney continues to interfere with an America First agenda through his daughter Liz, who is the censured congresswoman for [[Wyoming]] based on Dick Cheney's roots there (Liz Cheney does not even spend much time there). In 2015, Dick Cheney co-wrote a book with Liz pushing the [[neocon]] agenda and foreign interventionalism, and in January 2021 organized an anti-[[Trump]] letter by former defense secretaries.
