âAmerica first will be the major and overriding theme of my administration,â he said.

and now a word from James Fallows
Because it starts with the letter âAâ, America is often first, or right up there. If you use âUnited States of Americaââas anyone who has ever used a drop-down menu can tell youâweâre down near Uzbekistan or Uranus or Utah or some other God-forsaken, Not-Ever-First land.
ManâŚyou can sure tell that someone is writing this stuff for him.
Trump showed reverence for Ronald Reaganâs foreign policy approach in the Cold War and said that the United Statesâ foreign policy has since veered off course. He said that âlogic was replaced with foolishness and arrogance,â which helped throw the Middle East "into chaos."
someone should ask him about thatâŚas well as SDI.
The people Trump is depending on to elect him have no knowledge of foreign policy.
This is like a commercial saying that Trump pledged allegiance to the flag when he was in elementary school.
Now thatâs the bold, decisive leadership youâd come to expect from someone who declared bankruptcy several times.
Absolutely. It was nothing more than bumper sticker clap trap that was tailor made for reality tv watchers.
EDIT TO ADD: It wasnât a âpolicyâ it was a series of facile slogans
Did he forget Benghazi ?
Heâs got my vote.
America should be first. The regressive left and the PC college shoot-em-up are all about putting America last, but thank God and Jesus above and to the side, and down low, too slow that someone is willing to put America first.
And here we were told there would be no details in this speechâŚ
FirstâŚand Last, because if his dangerous rhetoric became policy, the US would become an international pariah, isolated from the rest of the world.
âTrump showed reverence for Ronald Reaganâs foreign policy approach.â
Trading arms for hostages?
Illegally funding Death Squads that murdered nuns and archbishops?
Arming the mujahideen?
Almost triggering WWIII by joking over open microphones?
Should be a blast.
You can put pretty much anything in that blank and the answer is going to be the same: âNo. None. Nada. Zilch.â
But you have to hand it to him. They billed this as a major policy speech, and thenâŚAFTER they got all they networks setup to give him more free air time, they announce it wonât have any actual policy. Or even details. And the media covers every minute of it anyway.
Much like last night at his victory âspeechââŚhe promptly turns it into a press conference, garnering roughly 20+minutes of air time compared to less than 5 minutes for Hillary or any other candidate. And the press obliges him at every turn.
âTrump showed reverence for Ronald Reaganâs foreign policy approach.â
Trump:
"I will adapt it for todayâs climate, though, instead of âTear Down That Wallâ we have âPut Up That Wallâ "
He sounded like he was on lithium reading from the prompter
and of course the whole mess in the world happened because of Hillary and the fact that sheâs a she.
Dubya: This policy helped me a great deal. If the world doesnât agree, we will invade.
What will Chuck Todd think so Iâll know what to thinkâŚ
