President Trump: "I'm proud to be the first president in decades who has started no new wars"
France 24 ^ | Jan 19 | F24

Posted on 01/19/2021 4:21:37 PM PST by RandFan

US President Donald Trump said in a farewell address Tuesday, his last full day in office, that he was the first president in many years to have left office without starting a war.

“I am especially proud to be the first president in decades who has started no new wars,” Trump said, according to excerpts from the address that the White House released shortly before its broadcast on Tuesday.

The outgoing Republican president also touted his toughness against China, saying he had brought unprecedented international pressure on the communist US rival.

“We revitalised our alliances and rallied the nations of the world to stand up to China like never before,” he said in the speech.

He further highlighted efforts to normalize relations in the Middle East, the development of coronavirus vaccinations and the creation of a new Space Force. And he tried to defend the endless controversies that have consumed the last four years as justified.

“As President, my top priority, my constant concern, has always been the best interests of American workers and American families,” he said. “I did not seek the easiest course; by far, it was actually the most difficult. I did not seek the path that would get the least criticism. I took on the tough battles, the hardest fights, the most difficult choices because that’s what you elected me to do.”

Did no one cover the speech, outside of One America and maybe NewsMax? I know Fox couldn’t be bothered.
What a slap in the face from Fox.

Biden will reinitiate the nuclear deal with Iran and the next war will start to shape itself. If Biden is President anyone that can get out of the military should get out. They are expendable and are at the mercy of the DC puppeteers.

That's my thought too. With a new war, just think how much money he'll make, along with Hunter and all their cronies.

No dead interns. No drownings after the plane crash. Nothing turned up rolled in a rug at Ft.Marcy Park, No business partners died in prison before testifying. No queen life coach.

Ike’s Warning Of Military Expansion, 60 Years Later

In 1961, President Dwight D. Eisenhower delivered his farewell address in which he warned against “the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex.”

Thank you President Trump for zero wars.

Lets go back to 10 year long “Compassionate wars” costing 3.2 trillion! How else can we loot the America treasure and make all our friends rich? Come on man! We can conquer the Mideast and go back to being the worlds baby sitter and play super cop! If we keep giving these foreign countries hundreds of billions, we can own and control them too!

Trump also de-escalated the dangerous situations in Eastern Europe and North Korea left by the Obama-Biden administration, while using economic and diplomatic pressure to turn back Chinese advances in Asia and Latin America. Biden and his RINO allies seek to advance an opposite agenda, risking world war in order to advance their socialist ideology while lining their pockets with profits from their international protection racket.

It’s hard to start wars when you surrender the first day in office.
