Trump's foreign policy displayed?

Sep 4, 2015 7:19AM PDT

Any country we negotiate with would have to be an amazing country BEFORE we negotiate with it and it would be an even more amazing country AFTER they have and agreement with us.

Donald Trump just had an awkward foreign-policy interview where he admitted he didn't know many of the answers

After a quick back-and-forth, Trump explained that he had misheard Hewitt.

"Last question," Hewitt said, "So the difference between Hezbollah and Hamas does not matter to you yet, but it will?"

"It will [matter to me] when it's appropriate," Trump answered. "I will know more about it than you know, and believe me, it won't take me long."


Probably all that hair growing in his ears...a lot of old men have more hair in their nose/ears than they do on their head.

Just enough to be dangerous?

American Muslims with relatives living/stuck in some country that have terrorists oppressing them.....America bombs/kills their relatives....What a great country?

would you expect that THEY would defend their country and themselves and kill ISIS instead of us? Or would you expect that their relatives are already refugees somewhere?

Are you asking

If they're 'stuck' would you expect that THEY would defend their country and themselves and kill ISIS instead of us/Americans having to kill ISIS? I've added the underlined part to confirm what I think you are asking.

Sure....IF they have the firepower and the will. IF they don't, I expect any country that is going to "help them defeat ISIS" is going to "help" without "bombing the hell" out of their country. (killing the least number of innocent people/collateral damage)

"Bombing the hell" out of the country is your suggestion. Perhaps you're being melodramatic for effect.

Even the "surgical strikes" have been the cause of friction.

Or would you expect that their relatives are already refugees somewhere?

AND you think they are? You think everyone that is terrorized/oppressed by ISIS is there willingly? So it's not a rescue mission? You're not there to save the country...you're there to bomb the hell out of it.

Delivering Humanitarian Aid bombs?

"surgical strikes' have done nothing.......even the pilots have to wait for up to three hours after getting a target in sight before they 'get permission' to drop that bomb. Is that reasonable to you? Let the enemy keep moving away until they are no longer in the open because some a..hole in DC is calling the shots? That's what happened with VietNam and as long as liberals are in charge, it will stay that way, and the world will continue to go up in flames.........until they decide to come back here again.

I'm done with your nonsense.........

IF you think they haven't "hit their target" and as a result "have done nothing" then you're wrong.


They have created animosity towards the coalition forces.

Here you are advocating "bombing the hell" out of the country.

How to win friends and influence people?

IF/WHEN an ISIS group takes actual control of a country....THEN it is a different story.

Until then....Your plan will never work.

whack a mole comes to mind.

Viet Nam BUT instead of a country....you have 1/2 of the planet.

I'm done with your nonsense........

You'll be back.
