TRANSCRIPT: Trump Foreign Policy Speech

I've linked the full transcript below. Below is a lead in:

Thank you for the opportunity to speak to you, and thank you to the Center for the National Interest for honoring me with this invitation.

I would like to talk today about how to develop a new foreign policy direction for our country – one that replaces randomness with purpose, ideology with strategy, and chaos with peace.

It is time to shake the rust off of America’s foreign policy. It's time to invite new voices and new visions into the fold.

The direction I will outline today will also return us to a timeless principle. My foreign policy will always put the interests of the American people, and American security, above all else. That will be the foundation of every decision that I will make.

America First will be the major and overriding theme of my administration.

But to chart our path forward, we must first briefly look back.

We have a lot to be proud of. In the 1940s we saved the world. The Greatest Generation beat back the Nazis and the Japanese Imperialists.

Then we saved the world again, this time from totalitarian Communism. The Cold War lasted for decades, but we won.

Democrats and Republicans working together got Mr. Gorbachev to heed the words of President Reagan when he said: “tear down this wall.”

History will not forget what we did......

Great speech and didn't need a teleprompter.

They put the U.N. interests first. We've been fighting the U.N.'s wars not our own.

[Disir]

He really didn't say anything.

 

[cereal_killer]

He really didn't say anything.

"However, unlike other candidates for the presidency, war and aggression will not be my first instinct. You cannot have a foreign policy without diplomacy. A superpower understands that caution and restraint are signs of strength."

Gold right there

 

[Kat]

Excellent! Wonder if it is out on YT yet..

 

[cereal_killer]

"The nation-state remains the true foundation for happiness and harmony. I am skeptical of international unions that tie us up and bring America down, and will never enter America into any agreement that reduces our ability to control our own affairs."

 

[Avatar4321]

Not a poor speech. I'll give him that

 

[Camp]

he read all that shit without a teleprompter?!

impressive.

News reports and photo's indicate a teleprompter was used.

 

[basquebromance]

impossible to read all that with one

 

[Kat]

Starts at about the 34 min mark.

The Chinese? They make great cookies. And I love their Kung Poa Chicken. But let's face it, they're losers. That Chinese guy who does my laundry? You should see his wife. What a dog!

Rush is commenting on it right now.

Obviously Rush preferred Cruz......but I think it would be nice to have a president that actually believes what he's saying.

Long on rhetoric, short on details. Trump always evades they question on bringing jobs back, why ? When pressed on his mexican wall, he deflects, why? All he is is a pretty package, and if you really look, that's all he has ever been. Who will he sue when Putin tells him to get bent? What will he do when Apple laughs in his face and his stupid tax's just getting added to the cost of an iPhone or mac? I plan on reading it more because I really want to believe trump will do okay, but so far all we get to see is the package the product comes it. No reason why it's better then everyone else's ? All the message board slug fest aside, what (other then using a teleprompter and not saying lying ted) what makes trump so good?

 

[Crixus]

He really didn't say anything.

And has yet to do so.

 

[Arianrhod]

At least his speechwriters are "quality," as opposed to his steaks or his vodka.

If you asked him to cite any of those talking points from memory the next day, though, could he? Dubious.
