Voters Back Trump’s Foreign Policy of Peace Through Strength
December 05, 2024
 
Donald Trump made the phrase “peace through strength” a staple of his campaign. Ronald Reagan used it as a rallying cry in 1980 after the weakness of the Jimmy Carter presidency. It’s an equally fitting response to Joe Biden’s timid, clumsy foreign policy.

But some Republican neo-isolationists reject the projection of American power abroad through allies and a global military presence, decrying this as war-mongering. “Come home America” is their cry, as it was the left’s a half-century ago. And they believe a majority of Americans, including the president-elect’s new coalition, are on their side.

New polling says otherwise. On Friday, military leaders, defense-industry officials, tech executives, national-security experts and lawmakers will gather at the 40th president’s library in Simi Valley, Calif., for this year’s Reagan National Defense Forum. They’ll hear the results of the forum’s annual survey of public attitudes about America’s role in the world.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Worked for Reagan.

Maintaining a coalition of like-minded nations diversivfies risks and costs.

Leading from behind didn't work well for Obama.

As long as Trump doesn't try to make the world safe for democracy, remake the world in America's image, nor get America  back into the regime change business like Bush '43.
