OUR ALLIES DONT TRUST US… NOR SHOULD THEY?
But…
“We must as, a nation, be more unpredictable.” (Also today.)
And…
“Europe is a big place. I’m not going to take cards [of using nuclear weapons in Europe] off the table.”
WE’RE GOING TO REBUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR OLDEST ALLIES… BUT FIRST, I’LL MAKE THEM PAY US
“We’ve picked fights with our oldest friends, and now they’re starting to look elsewhere for help.”
But…
“[O]
ur allies are not paying their fair share…The countries we are defending must pay for the cost of this defense – and, if not, the U.S. must be prepared to let these countries defend themselves.”I’D “WORK VERY CLOSELY” WITH ALLIES IN THE MUSLIM WORLD… BUT THEY CAN’T COME TO THE U.S.?
WAR AND AGGRESSION WILL NOT BE MY FIRST INSTINCT… UNTIL THEY ARE?
“[W]e have to beat [and torture] the savages,” and “I would bomb the sh**t out of them.”
AMERICA WILL BE RELIABLE AND POLITICS WILL END AT THE WATER’S EDGE… ALSO WE’RE BUILDING THE WALL AND MEXICO WILL PAY FOR IT
But…
“We’re going to do a wall… Mexico’s going to pay for the wall.”
AMERICA FIRST ISOLATIONISM IS MY DOCTRINE… BUT WE MUST LOOK BACK TO U.S. INTERVENTIONISM IN WORLD WAR II — THAT WAS GOOD, TOO
“America First will be the major and overriding theme of my administration.”
But…
AND YES, FINALLY SOME CONSISTENCY: DONALD TRUMP STILL WANTS TO BE BEST FRIENDS WITH VLADIMIR PUTIN
