'nowhere did I talk about giving foreign welfare to Iraq and Syria. I talked about having bases there to keep stability and provide rapid reaction forces in case the next ISIS pops up.'

That is welfare. Just as the bases in Japan and Germany, and such. All of that is foreign welfare. Welfare creates dependency. Trump ran on cutting foreign welfare.

"That is welfare."

Well, you are the only person I've ever heard define forward deployed troops as welfare. All I can say is look at history, and not old history, recent history. We pull out of Iraq and ISIS rose and started down their path to destruction.
