Donald Trump used his Wednesday foreign policy speech to tie former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to President Obama and the United States’ strategy in the Middle East, painting the two Democrats as interventionists.
“We’re a humanitarian nation, but the legacy of the Obama-Clinton interventions will be weakness, confusion, and disarray. A mess. We’ve made the Middle East more unstable and chaotic than ever before,” Trump said.
He blasted the Obama administration for not having a “coherent foreign policy,” lamenting the “lives lost” and “massive monies lost.”
After tying Clinton to Obama, Trump pivoted to slam Hillary Clinton over the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, criticizing her response to the attack.
Trump said that this will change if he is elected president.
“We’re getting out of the nation-building business and instead focusing on creating stability in the world,” he said.
So the only “detail” in his big foreign policy speech was ***Ben Ghazi!***®
If this is his idea of a post-nomination pivot, I’m even less worried than before.
I don’t think this will work very well. Clinton has been stockpiling accolades re: her foreign policy chops from various Republicans for several years. She’s got everyone from John McClain and Lindsey Graham to Chuck Grassely on video. I’m sure the commercials are already in the tank.
I think Cruz slipped the Donald this speech, thinking even that dolt won’t read this in front of a crowd of republicans.
Trump: Hillary and the democrats supported Iraq invasion. I always said Iraq was a mistake. These interventionist policies are now biting us. Why doesn’t Obama get us out of Afghanistan?
FOX: Trump is sounding presidential already. Why did we invade Afghanistan? or Iraq? When will Hillary answer these questions?
Gee, something sounds familiar:
“We’re getting out of the nation-building business and instead focusing on creating stability in the
world.”
