The Jacksonian Foreign Policy Has Arrived – MAGA in Full
IWB ^ | Mark Angelides

Posted on 09/20/2017 6:15:41 AM PDT by davikkm

President Trump’s address to the United Nations has left pretty much everyone questioning where he is heading, bit for those who support the ideals of Make America Great Again, it was almost exactly the right tone and content. Big players like Steve Bannon and Sebastian Gorka, have long been pushing for a Jacksonian Foreign Policy program, whereby the U.S will help other nations, but not fight their wars for them, and it seems that this is exactly the message Donald Trump was trying to deliver.

He started the historic speech by pointing out that there are members of the United Nations who are actively involved in suppressing their own people and funding terror across the world. He said:

“Terrorists and extremists have gathered strength and spread to every region of the planet. Rogue regimes represented in this body not only support terror but threaten other nations and their own people with the most destructive weapons known to humanity.”

World peace is helped by a powerful yet predictable United States. When the global power is weak or indecisive, disorder spreads and war becomes possible.

"In America, we do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone, but rather to let it shine as an example for everyone to watch."

Bears repeating, especially to all of those on the left who decry that we are a bunch of imperialists trying to build the American empire.

In America, the people govern, the people rule, and the people are sovereign. I was elected not to take power, but to give power to the American people where it belongs.


One of my favorite lines in the whole speech.

Though I think the #1 line is ROCKET MAN!!!

“In America, the people govern, the people rule, and the people are sovereign. I was elected not to take power, but to give power to the American people where it belongs.”

And that is the real difference from the “ruler” of this country over the last 250 years and Trump now. He is the first president in centuries to actually try to do what he said he was going to and what the people actually voted him in to do. Trump was not voted in to continue the run. He came in with a bucket list that was approved by the people and not the politicians. And this is what scares the hell out of them as we have a guy in our corner now and not hiding there. And getting into the faces of the rouge nations at the UN is one of them.

I’m reminded of the words of our 26th president, Teddy Roosevelt, when he pronounced we should “walk softly, but carry a big stick.”

The stick has been locked in the closet for way too many years. If you look closely into the words of president Trump, you may just see it in your mind. ‘Bout time.

I didn’t realized wars had stopped since WWII (despite growing U.S. power in the world).

You don’t have to be “on the Left” to oppose U.S. imperialism. Here’s an official government spreadsheet of all the locations (and numbers) of U.S. military personel around the globe as of June 2017.:

Scroll down to the most recent report in June.

Here’s a few more lies to match the we don’t “impose our way of life on anyone”.

“Read my lips....no new taxes.” and....

“You can keep your health insurance plan with Obamacare.”
