Maybe $1 trillion was already spent on Star Wars and related. A journalist wrote a book on defense spending. Do you really want to spend our money on useless stuff and on lifetime support for soldiers who all return with ptsd?

He didn’t change his mind at all. He still believes Obama, Hillary, Democrats and anyone that doesn’t fall in line are his “enemies”; that they are wrong/evil/incompetent and everything he has done or will do is success.

He has no real positions on foreign policy, especially mideast policy. It’s simply tough rhetoric that is consistently inconsistent in meaning. Non-intervention, nuke the middle east, America first, secret plan to destroy ISIS – it’s all self-contradicting nonsense. There’s no mind to change.

In the world of Trump, it’s not about ideas or policies or action, or even reality. It’s about people and perception. It’s all about him.

That has not changed.[/quote]

Of course, as you so well said, there is no broader policy with Trump. He’s just reactionary.
