Donald Trump opened his Wednesday foreign policy speech in Washington, D.C., by introducing the overarching theme of his foreign policy proposals: put America first.
He said that his foreign policy strategy will replace “randomness with purpose, ideology with strategy and chaos with peace.” And he said that his plans will always put the security of Americans first.
“America first will be the major and overriding theme of my administration,” he said.
Trump showed reverence for Ronald Reagan’s foreign policy approach in the Cold War and said that the United States’ foreign policy has since veered off course. He said that “logic was replaced with foolishness and arrogance,” which helped throw the Middle East “into chaos.”

and now a word from James Fallows

Because it starts with the letter “A”, America is often first, or right up there. If you use “United States of America”–as anyone who has ever used a drop-down menu can tell you–we’re down near Uzbekistan or Uranus or Utah or some other God-forsaken, Not-Ever-First land.
Man…you can sure tell that someone is writing this stuff for him.
someone should ask him about that…as well as SDI.
The people Trump is depending on to elect him have no knowledge of foreign policy.
This is like a commercial saying that Trump pledged allegiance to the flag when he was in elementary school.
