Remember Trump’s America First promises?
“We will stop racing to topple foreign regimes that we know nothing about, that we shouldn’t be involved with.”
“We must abandon the failed policy of nation-building and regime change.”
“We’re nation building. We can’t do it. We have to build our own nation.”
“We will build up our military not as an act of aggression, but as an act of prevention. In short, we seek peace through strength.”
“I don’t want American forces fighting in areas that we shouldn’t be fighting in.”
“I’m not going to start a war. I’m going to stop the wars.”
Israel has nullified them all and turned Trump’s presidency to serve Netanyahu’s agenda.
All these beautiful “America First,” non-interventionist declarations were turned on their head with Trump’s foreign interventions in the proxy war in Ukraine, funding Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians, bombing Iran, the war in Yemen, numerous African interventions, kidnapping the leader of another country, and now the latest move of another Iranian war.
But the most destructive flaw that has spoiled Trump’s image with his base was his unconditional support of Israel’s war on the Palestinian people. His base has rightly recognized Trump is not “America First” but rather “Israel First.”
