 The Trumpinator didn't start no wars  
 Did you read the foreign policy for project 2025 
 To reorient America's posture towards allies and enemies alike. 

Posture sends a message that often prevents the need for direct confrontation. 

Open carry is better than concealed carry. 
 Increasing military spending when we're already spending the most is retarded  
 Hes America first, which means protecting America.  He’s also gutting the bureaucracy with a government efficiency team to probably save 10 times what he will spend on military lol 
 If you think increasing American military spending protects America and isn't just funding the military industrial complex to enrich the few, you must be ignorant of the last 50+ years of American history.  
 A strong posture often negates the need to use violence.

America is the first empire in human history to do empire shit all over the world while pretending it's not an empire, but it is for all intents and purposes an empire. 

Living in the heart of this empire you have benefited from this imperialism, as the citizens of every past empire have. 
 I can’t disagree with that, and I’m not 100% defending trump, he’s probably just the other wing of the same birds as they kick the can down the road tbh.  But the left has gone completely insane.
