“My personality will keep us out of wars,” Trump told the crowd
At a rally in the Bronx on Friday, Donald Trump let rip on America’s warmongering leadership and its “horrible wars” around the world.
“Remember Hillary Clinton used to point at me: ‘He will create wars’?” Trump asked the crowd.
“They said, ‘His personality will create wars.’ No. I said, ‘My personality will keep us out of wars.’ And I was right. First president in 78 years that didn’t start a war. We had no wars. None of these stupid wars.
“Such a shame when you see all of these people who died in these horrible wars in the Middle East and everywhere else.”
Trump lamented the stupidity of America’s interventions in the Middle East, claiming they had brought no benefits to the American people.
“We’ve spent $9 trillion in the Middle East. We’ve bombed the hell out of the place. Then we leave. You know, in the old days, ‘To the victor belong the spoils,’ But we don’t do that. We bomb the hell out of everyone, then we come back home. It’s so sick. It’s so sick and so stupid.”
And the former president didn’t mince his words as he laid the blame squarely on America’s leadership.
“These people who lead us are so stupid. You want to use that as a last resort. You can solve problems with a meeting or a telephone call. You don’t have to drop billions of dollars’ worth of bombs on people’s heads. You don’t have to. It’s called peace through strength.”
Trump also told the crowd that “Joe Biden puts illegal aliens first. I put America first!”
“We are going to make New York City great again,” Trump proclaimed.
While Trump was speaking, New York Governor Kathy Hochul went on CNN and blasted residents who were attending the rally as “clowns.”
“New York will never, ever support Donald Trump for president. We know him better than anyone, and that means we understand what he’s all about. He’s just for himself.”
