In Donald Trump’s Worldview, America Comes First, and Everybody Else Pays
By DAVID E. SANGER and MAGGIE HABERMANMARCH 26, 2016
Mr. Trump’s views, as he explained them, fit nowhere into the recent history of the Republican Party: He is not in the internationalist camp of President George Bush, nor does he favor President George W. Bush’s call to make it the United States’ mission to spread democracy around the world. He agreed with a suggestion that his ideas might be summed up as “America First.”
“Not isolationist, but I am America First,” he said. “I like the expression.” He said he was willing to reconsider traditional American alliances if partners were not willing to pay, in cash or troop commitments, for the presence of American forces around the world. “We will not be ripped off anymore,” he said.

Einstein defined “insanity” as doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result.
Have WE become insane to think that electing MORE lawyers, politicians and theoretical academics to clean up the mess created by OTHER lawyers, politicians and theoretical academics will work?
The Presidency is called the EXECUTIVE BRANCH for a reason. While there MAY still be time to save what’s left of America – the IDEA – perhaps we should consider electing an ACTUAL EXECUTIVE who has built and run a successful BUSINESS ENTERPRISE?
THINK ABOUT IT!
(If you came out of the government school system, you may need some help with the process!)
the New York Times has been the Paper of Liberals for years.
Of course, they want Trump because they know Hillary can beat him.
Ronald Reagan on his foreign policy re: the Soviets.
“We win. They lose”
I think this is a good thing, but I think the NYT is framing that to their guilty liberal readers as a bad thing.
He probably has, the condensed version! Trump is such a man of action I cannot imagine him sitting quietly with a book for very long :-)
GO TRUMP!!!!!
sorry for yelling
Sun Tzu
Do we have any true friends left? We’ve pretty much screwed all of of our friends,specially under obama.
I started thinking about your question, and my goodness, I really can’t name any country with complete confidence! You’re right, many now have reason to distrust us thanks to Obama. There is Turkey, we are shoveling cash in there like crazy and strongly backing them for EU membership, which is a mistake!
That’s what they seem to be trying for, that the headline will make all the “right” people gasp and declare what a bully Trump is, so they can tut tut at the Illuminati/NWO dinner parties.
“Everyone else, in both parties, is selling out our very own country. Every one of them.”
But, they went to the right schools and are ‘intellectuals’..
*************************************************
And they go to the right church and worship the right God and some are even the proper shade of Conservative !!
It works for me - go Trump!
Cruz really is not that different. He just isn’t as blunt about it and most likely will owe some debts to the GOPe if he wins. And yes, that is a problem, but the GOPe hates him almost as much as they hate Trump.
It is a testament to what Trump has done that the GOPe is looking to Cruz as their savior! LOL
GO TRUMP. If not Trump, GO CRUZ.
You first problem is with ascribing anything liberals believe as being factual or absolute.
Trump beats Clinton and it wont be close.
And THIS would make me VERY happy!
THIS is why I am all for TRUMP.
50? How about 80? We have been paying since the 40s. We have paid for almost everything globally and spent ourselves into the dirt doing it.
We’re not the Easter Bunny to the world.
How many times can we vote?
so in other words...
it will be America’s fault that the EU collapses
not it’s run amok socialist policies
I read what they are setting up here
