Watch Live: Donald Trump's Teleprompted Foreign Policy Speech

[AngryCanadian]

Well we shall see.

 

[TheTexan]

We shouldn't send our troops to intervene in needless wars overseas?

This guy's a genius! Why has noone thought of this before??!

You misunderstand.... He is terrible reading a teleprompter, but at least it's coherent and on message... He is absolutely, mercilessly, horribly incompetent when speaking off the cuff, imo. His normal speeches (sans teleprompter) are so disjointed and random that he makes a 10 year old with ADHD look like Gary Kasparov playing Deep Blue.... not that George W was much better... but it's sad that being a profound orator is sadly no longer valued among boobus sheep. They only care about "Build the wall!" and "The Establishment!"... sad times.

I'm not saying he's a great off the cuff, but at least he can do it - Obama can't.

 

[Murray N Rothbard]

What the fuck are you people talking about? He's talking nuclear expansion, alliances with defacto dictators, more aggressive intervention when intervention is done, and intervention purely on behalf of "American Interests"- whatever the hell those are...? Guess what was on behalf on "American Interests" in 2003? And since when is increasing the size of the military a good thing?

Wake up, you clowns. You've drank the Trump koolaid.

Thank you. THis is all I heard in his speech. People are all "well I agree with that... sounded great! GO TRUMP!" WTF??? They didn't drink the koolaid... they've already died and are headed to the mothership.

Look at it this way--- the foreign policy component of Trumps positions alone, when compared to the foreign policy positions of the likely Hillary Clinton Democrat platform (especially after Bernie Sanders has his influence on it) as stated today are still MUCH worse, in a "pro-liberty" Ron-Paulian sense. Again I am talking foreign policy only. He is just another big military industrial complex buffoon controlled by advisers, idiotic populace via focus groups and poll numbers.

Can I please remind people what forum this is?

Uh, no... That's exactly the point. He's saying no more wars in the M.E. for Israel. Read between the lines.

This is complete and utter nonsense. You have it backwards.

If that thread has concluded that Hillary's foreign policy is more "pro liberty" than Trump's, as Murray N Rothbard claims, then I am surrounded by idiots.

From that thread...

H/T Bryan:

Cons:

- No apparent respect for Constitutional limits on power.
- No apparent respect for rule of law, domestic or international treaty.
- Supports big brother security state.
- Supports torture.
- Supports targeting and killing innocent civilians.
- Wants to execute whistle-blowers.
- Would force Apple to do his bidding,
- No apparent desire for smaller government or less spending.
- Wants to cut deals with Democrats and avoid "gridlock".
- Hanging out with Christie and Giuliani.

And that's the short list.... but you all go ahead and support him. Don't choke on all that nationalist-tyrant brand koolaid.... and don't let the door hit you on the way out (of RPF).

Murray never said that- he is saying that they are both neocon bee-aaat-ches and anyone with half a liberty brain would know that.

There was no other cool-aid to drink, the tv told me not to drink any other ones.

He did NOT say Hitlery was more "pro-liberty"- that's your interpretation
