As one who is against the policy of nation building, it is refreshing that Donald Trump pointed out just how stupid and costly the policy has been. He is absolutely right in that policies should put America and Americans first. Far too much of our treasury has been wasted on interfering in other nations’ affairs.

Our politicians since the Ronald Regan administration have been making decisions that are terrible for this country. Both Trump and Bernie Sanders are doing the country a favor by forcing the media to report on real problems. They are forcing more Americans to face the fact they have been had by the establishment and lied to in regards to the economy, involvement in wars and social issues. Facing the truth can be very painful.
