Donald Trump: Peace Candidate, Presidential Warmonger

• https://www.lewrockwell.com by Walter E. Block

"I share the American people's frustration… I also share their frustration over a foreign policy that has spent too much time, energy, money — and, most importantly, lives — trying to rebuild countries in our own image instead of pursuing our security interests above all other considerations."

I supported him vis a vis Mrs. Hillary Clinton mainly because she seemed, at least in comparison, to be a pro-war belligerent. From her support for the U.S. invasion of Iraq, in Afghanistan and Western Sahara, she has long established herself as a foreign policy hawk. For example, as emblematic of her deeply held views, she favored a: "tough-minded, muscular foreign and defense policy…"

I along with Ralph Raico and Donald Miller started up the group called "Libertarians for Trump." Some 5000 people signed on.  It was widely bruited about that no one but hicks, red-necks, morons in flyover country could support this ignoramus. To counter this, Paul Gottfried, Boyd Cathy and I initiated a separate support group for our present president called "Scholars for Trump." Signatories were limited to people with advanced degrees such as the Ph.D. We attracted signatures from about 150 people.
