Top 5 Promises Donald Trump Hopefully Keeps as President

5. Non-Interventionism

Trump most prominently stands out from the rest of the Republican Party in that he supports an “America First” foreign policy, generally urging non-interventionism. Though he consistently asserted that he opposed the Iraq War from the beginning, his past statements make this suspect at best. However, he at the very least made a more coherent argument against that conflict somewhat early in the invasion, similar to some Democrats like Hillary Clinton. On a more broad spectrum, he has publicly advocated that “If I become president, the era of nation building will be brought to a very swift and decisive end.” Discouragingly, some former Bush foreign policy advisers could be on their way into his Administration. He also made some problematic statements on the campaign trail about launching the country into war. Regardless, one can only hope that unlike President Obama, Trump stays true to his word in ending American pursuit of a neoconservative foreign policy.
