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.

Not democrat voters! They back peace through capitulation.

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.
