DANGEROUS & IRRESPONSIBLE POLICIES Trump’s policies – if you can call them that – are marked by the same extreme and irresponsible thinking that shape his campaign speeches. There is no question that Donald Trump’s rhetoric is dangerous – but his actual agenda could be a catastrophe. Trump Has Repeatedly Proven To Be Clueless On Key Foreign Policy Issues. Over the course of his campaign, Donald Trump has proven time and again that he lacks the knowledge and expertise to be America’s Commander-in-Chief. During a debate in December, Trump clearly did not understand the principle of the “nuclear triad.” Earlier, for example, Trump admitted during a radio interview that he did not know the answers to many of the foreign policy questions he was asked. Trump wasn’t familiar with the commander of Iran’s Quds force, and then mistook “Quds” for “Kurds” during a subsequent answer.

While everything about a Trump presidency is frightening, the notion of Trump as commander and chief and America’s principal geopolitical strategist might take the cake.

He has said that he views the Chinese as our “enemies.” At almost every campaign rally, Trump brags that he is the “most militaristic person” there is. → Trump’s Strategy For ISIS: “Bomb The Sh*t Out Of Them” And Send 10,000 American Ground Troops. Despite an utter lack of specificity or detail, Donald Trump insists he does have a plan to combat ISIS: “People are thinking like I don't have a plan…I would bomb the shit out of them... I would just bomb those suckers…and I’ll take the oil.” Trump boasted he would employ a policy of “shoot first, talk later” and he supports sending 10,000 American ground troops to Syria.
