Trump reminds us of a very ugly period in US history.

It is extremely unfortunate that in his speech Wednesday outlining his foreign policy goals, Donald Trump chose to brand his foreign policy with the noxious slogan "America First," the name of the isolationist, defeatist, anti-Semitic national organization that urged the United States to appease Adolf Hitler.

So we cant pursue an America first set of foreign policies because you liberals might have nightmares about a completely unrelated movement back in the 1930's?

Well, great, a twofer!

Since American history is no longer taught, most people under 50 can't tell who won WWII much less make a connection to any movement from the 30s.

Trump's teleprompter speech was bizarre and frightening the way he showed a lack of knowledge about foreign affairs.

He's a businessman that knows how to create jobs. What Hillary's excuse for her lack of foreign affair knowledge?

It is not unrelated. Some of his proposals are similar to the America First ideas of the 1930's. So, it is not just an issue of stealing or borrowing a term from the past. It implies a kind of positive endorsement or acknowledgement of the dangerous ideas that up till now was recognised for the misguided ideas they were. Great Britain and France showed how appeasement brings horrible results.

Lol, that is absurd. It's like saying that mathematics was used by the Nazis, so using mathematics is a dangerous methodology.

And frankly, I and millions of other American voters no longer give a flying shit if the devil himself used the term. We have to refocus our foreign policy and trade on benefiting Americans first.

Fuck the rest of the world; I am tired of the USA carrying all of the parasitic rabble.

Great Britain and France showed how appeasement brings horrible results.

Lol, so now using similar terms to an historically mistaken political movement is full blown appeasement?

Do you realize how hysterical that is?

Clinton knows more about foreign affairs and the real world than Trump will ever know. He is a blank slate when it comes to foreign affairs. That dope gave a national speech yesterday and claimed ISIS in Libya was controlling oil fields and making millions selling oil from Libya. He feeds his supporters misinformed garbage and they eat it up. Maybe you can provide a link to support the master bull shitters claims?

Don't you know that believing in America first, today means you are a racist?

 

[JimBowie1958]

Clinton knows more about foreign affairs and the real world than Trump will ever know.

Yeah, her reset of relations with Russia and our engagement in Libya, Egypt and Syria all prove she is a master of diplomacy, lol.

Hillary is a warmongering fool, but no doubt you have no clue.

Well, fine, then I guess I am a racist then, if so.

America first, last and always, fuck the rest of them.

No. America First is a positive endorsement of the country and that's what they hate so much.

A man who is worth billions and has negotiated business deals all over the world doesn't know anything? LOL Sure, if you say so. Clinton failed her own 3am phone call test. She can only dream to have Trump's credentials.

'America First' is a moronic, ignorant contrivance of the right, a manifestation of simple minded jingoism common to most conservative dullards, the product of the right's unwarranted fear of change and diversity.

It's further evidence of why Trump has no business being president.

Well, in anything we'll find out who loves America and who hates America this election.

Unwarranted fear of change and diversity"?

And you guys have the nerve to complain about him using empty rhetoric?!

 

[Katzndogz]

Germany is already complaining.

German foreign minister criticizes Trump's 'America first' foreign policy

How dare America not be responsible for the world's security at American expense?

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

'America First' - another lame excuse for the warmongering right to start more failed, illegal wars.

As soon as I read the title of this thread I knew the name "Hitler" would be mentioned, especially given the person who started the thread. Big surprise, huh?

The Hitler card seems to be played when the racism card has been trumped, pun intended.
