Donad Trump's "AMERICA FIRST" Foreign Policy Speech (513)
"We’re rebuilding other countries while weakening our own. Ending the theft of American jobs will give us resources we need to rebuild our military, which has to happen and regain our financial independence and strength. I am the only person running for the presidency who understands this and this is a serious problem."

"These are my goals as president. I will seek a foreign policy that all Americans, whatever their party, can support, so important, and which our friends and allies will respect and totally welcome. The world must know that we do not go abroad in search of enemies, that we are always happy when old enemies become friends and when old friends become allies, that’s what we want. We want them to be our allies.
We want the world to be — we want to bring peace to the world. Too much destruction out there, too many destructive weapons. The power of weaponry is the single biggest problem that we have today in the world.
To achieve these goals, Americans must have confidence in their country and its leadership. Again, many Americans must wonder why we our politicians seem more interested in defending the borders of foreign countries than in defending their own. Americans…"
Excerpts with special notes.

"Our goal is peace and prosperity, not war and destruction. The best way to achieve those goals is through a disciplined, deliberate and consistent foreign policy. With President Obama and Secretary Clinton we’ve had the exact opposite — a reckless, rudderless and aimless foreign policy, one that has blazed the path of destruction in its wake.
After losing thousands of lives and spending trillions of dollars, we are in far worst shape in the Middle East than ever, ever before. I challenge anyone to explain the strategic foreign policy vision of Obama/Clinton. It has been a complete and total disaster.
I will also be prepared to deploy America’s economic resources. Financial leverage and sanctions can be very, very persuasive, but we need to use them selectively and with total determination.
TRUMP: Our power will be used if others do not play by the rules. In other words, if they do not treat us fairly. Our friends and enemies must know that if I draw a line in the sand, I will enforce that line in the sand. Believe me."
I want to put special emphasis on this parts of his speech.

"We desire to live peacefully and in friendship with Russia and China. We have serious differences with these two nations, and must regard them with open eyes, but we are not bound to be adversaries. We should seek common ground based on shared interests.
Russia, for instance, has also seen the horror of Islamic terrorism. I believe an easing of tensions, and improved relations with Russia from a position of strength only is possible, absolutely possible. Common sense says this cycle, this horrible cycle of hostility must end and ideally will end soon. Good for both countries.
Some say the Russians won’t be reasonable. I intend to find out. If we can’t make a deal under my administration, a deal that’s great — not good, great — for America, but also good for Russia, then we will quickly walk from the table. It’s as simple as that. We’re going to find out.
Fixing our relations with China is another important step — and really toward creating an even more prosperous period of time. China respects strength and by letting them take advantage of us economically, which they are doing like never before, we have lost all of their respect.
We have a massive trade deficit with China, a deficit that we have to find a way quickly, and I mean quickly, to balance. A strong and smart America is an America that will find a better friend in China, better than we have right now. Look at what China is doing in the South China Sea. They’re not supposed to be doing it.
No respect for this country or this president. We can both benefit or we can both go our separate ways. If need be, that’s what’s going to have to happen."
These are achievable and will lead to a firm and direct position that defines our strength against these two powers. I hope.

I like Trumps views on our foreign policy. There are so many hypocrites out there. The Pope, for instance, wants us to not buIld walls, yet the Vatican is surrounded by walls. We spend money on military that helps others, yet our infrastructure has suffered for it in the past. However other countries that we helped one way or another, have great infrastructure, especially numerous transportation options.
Our highway system, especially bridges, are in terrible shape. Go to Israel and look at their main highways. Although littered with burnt out military equipment in places, they are new. They actually have billboards everywhere saying something about their gratitude for U.S. tax dollars which built or replaced the roads.
I like the slogan 'America First!' Why not.

I support everything he stands for and represent Chris.
I am reading the speech over and over again and it all make sense. He did mention not to help other countries that directly cause to weaken us. And your example is right. We have to consider what is of utmost importance in our policies, relative to peace, our peace and productivity.
Yes, I am losing respect to the Pope for that hypocrisy as you mentioned.

Lindsy my dear, sorry been out, but watched the BBC live coverage of Trump speech and my European friends all agreed with him.I don't understand why should Americans dislike him when he's going out of his comfort zone to serve USA. He's a blessing to America and to the world. Politicians who get regular contributions, donations and bribes hate him since he will clean up the system. He loves America and naturally his government will be for the people and there will be security and progress. In fact, my Swiss Muslim Egyptian friends would like to live now with their relatives in the US since they think there would be more security in the US than Europe if Trump will be elected.

Not everyone can like him my dear Joy. It is natural to dislike him considering the temperament and direction of the present administration but he is gaining more supporters as he is moving onward.
Very much so now that there are only two viable opponents of getting the nomination.

I'm more of a Trump fan than I used to be. However, I sometimes wonder if POTUS Trump won't try and spread more of my money around than Obama wants to.
Ok, we've heard bits of Trumps foreign policy ideas, but how does he propose to do what he says he will do without increasing revenue via taxation or by bringing jobs back or just printing more inflated fiat money?
His economic to-do list includes increasing military personnel and equipment numbers, improving and buying more state-of-the-art weapons, taking care of vets, improving infrastructure, making the affordable care act affordable and terminating climate change scares etc. How does he do this without increasing the size of government and government debt?
And where will Trump vacation? Will his vacations be as tax-payer expensive as POTUS Obama's, will he remove the fence and gates found around the White House or replace it with solid walls? How will he deal with all the varied liberal protestors.

Chris it is very understandable to ask these questions in order to know and be aware of the structure on how to accomplish and achieve these goals. First if we can equate our productivity to the increase of GNP and everybody is at work having brought in all back our outsourced jobs and or simply creation of jobs, of course taxation will increase naturally, I do know that his success as an individual businessman can very much pattern his approach for the nation. After all there is no difference in a way. I am sure he can do better than what Obama has done and that is where my hope is.
We can definitely ask him to outline how he will accomplish all these goals. As far as the shrinking of debt from China, I am just as curious on how is that going to be structured. En toto, I do trust him and I have my hopes high that we will indeed become better relative to economy, military and immigration as well as health system.

That destination is ok with me! I believe that Obama's xmas vacation to Hawaii in 2014 cost tax payers ~ 8 million USDs @ $200k per hour in the air.

The speach is really good, refreshing to hear what he says from a politician. If he does what he says, the world will be a better place - I am only worried about the how, but let's see 
If he wins, I am sure European political scene will change too.

I heard nothing new, the same rhetoric, words that he knows his audience want to hear.
Didn't Obama say much the same? Made some great speeches, people saw him as the new saviour, then what happened?
Why would Trump winning change the European political scene? I don't understand that opinion.

Obama was ineffectual due to the senate...not his fault...IMO...Bush should be held accountable for the blunders...Obama inherited an impossible position...economic as well as political...
Trump is not going to save the US...delusional thinking...or Europe...lol...
Change is needed but unlikely Trump will get rid of his staff due to being non-American...or his companies that manufacture outside of the USA for reasons we all know...such a hypocrite...

I am so enthralled with the way he sets out his position on items that critically affect the future of America.
Thanks all for your read and or comment.
