Trump is proposing isolationism? That's some mad hyperbole dude.

He speaks of being 'unpredictable' in US military responses; "We're always telling them what we're doing next." That means pre-emptive strikes doesn't it? "IS will be gone tomorrow" means he thinks it's possible to kill an ideology with strikes.
The bogeyman that united the assholes of Al-Quaeda, Taliban and IS is mainly the USA and a few of us allies. Pre-emptive strikes would be a great recruitment tool for a new group.
In this area alone, it's almost as if he's picturing an old Western. The good guys are holed up in a locked-down bar and shooting at the bad guys through slats in the shutters. Sure, it's overwhelming odds and a couple of good guys get stomach shot. By the end, the baddies are dead and the good townsfolk live peacefully.
There was rich irony when he lauded Reagan for telling Gorbachev "Pull down the wall."

I personally think Trump is the wrong man for the job however I will say he's the only one not using it for personal gain.
I was listening to talk radio today and the personal gain question was brought up.
I got interrupted and don't know what was said

As for the Military, we do need to outfit them in safer uniforms equipment and protective gear. That is going to take $$$, lots of money and well worth every penny. They deserve to be treated well upon their return from service. Housing, a living wage, to say the least.
How many has obama put out of a job?
Does anyone count them in the unemployment numbers?
Sounds like a great bumper sticker:
Give our Troops J-O-B-S!
Send 'em to Combat!

It would depend on your definition of "greater".
Better than it presently is. Hell, why split hairs, if he pulls America out of the toilet, he's made it greater.
Yes, just what we need. Instead of an intelligent public servant willing to be diplomatic and reasonable, we just need to hire the guy willing to stick his hand in the toilet to pick-up that floating turd.
Once he has done that, what will he do with it?

Listen to the second sound clip here:

"Donald Trump - Bush is a Disaster"
Trump says whatever benefits Trump.
Trump does whatever benefits Trump.
If slamming Bush will benefit him, he will slam Bush.
Do I think he gives a Rat's Patooty for the American people? Hell No! Unless, he can benefit from it.

That explains much. Be careful with talk radio. If you listen to the same radio talk shows repeatedly for long enough, you will become brainwashed by their agenda. They are usually skilled at lulling people into believing what they believe. It's known to be a bit hypnotic, especially if you are listening while doing other things.
And all talk radio have agendas.

You asked for facts...you got facts...you ignore them. What kind of game is that? Or do you simply cry for "facts" when you instead have a hidden agenda that allows you to ignore facts in lieu of your biased opinion?
Oh...thats right. Your a liberal. Never mind.

You don't get countries to do that by expanding our already WAY too large military. You get countries to do that by pulling out troops and forcing local and nearby countries to fill in the troop vacuum.

will not hesitate in using an executive order which I believe he will use in a blink of an eye. He knows how to handle Congress....watch.
Trump is use to results NOT EXCUSES.
