If only you were right about Don being a noninterventionist. I voted for him for this reason, but his actions prove otherwise. The cold blooded murder of the Iranian general on a peace mission, could have easily spiraled into a big war. His constant aggressive military actions and sanctions on Russia, China, and Iran could easily lead to war. We still have troops in Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq (along with numerous other nations), indicates your faith in him is misguided. His coup attempts in Venezuela, backing an unelected tyrant supported by the transnational capitalists, and his deadly sanctions on that nations, prove you’re wrong.Trump has accomplished nothing except maybe golf on your dime. The man is a con-artist and his cult members, followers and kinda niave.

100 Ways, in 100 Days, that Trump Has Hurt Americans

"What is patriotism? Let us begin with what patriotism is not. It is not patriotic to dodge the draft and to mock war heroes and their families. It is not patriotic to discriminate against active-duty members of the armed forces in one's companies, or to campaign to keep disabled veterans away from one's property. It is not patriotic to compare one's search for sexual partners in New York with the military service in Vietnam that one has dodged. It is not patriotic to avoid paying taxes, especially when American working families do pay. It is not patriotic to ask those working, taxpaying American families to finance one's own presidential campaign, and then to spend their contributions in one's own companies. It is not patriotic to admire foreign dictators. It is not patriotic to cultivate a relationship with Muammar Gaddafi; or to say that Bashar al-Assad and Vladimir Putin are superior leaders. It is not patriotic to call upon Russia to intervene in an American presidential election. It is not patriotic to cite Russian propaganda at rallies." Timothy Snyder 'On Tyranny'
