You have to listen to trump in a nonpolitical way. when trump starts talking on the campaign trail, "nato's pointless, it's worthless. we're paying the lion's share and these people aren't contributing, and that's gonna end. this make america great, put america first." people think, "wow! we're gonna get out of nato, finally. he's gonna close up nato!" no. if you listen very carefully, he was complaining that the other members were not doing their part.

We have a problem with drugs? let's declare war on drugs! we have a problem with crime? let's declare war on crime! we have a problem with violence? let's declare war on violence! the deeply ingrained american attitude that we can solve any problem w/enough force creates, feeds, & rewards the epidemic of violence we are currently experiencing.

With 450,000 u. s. troops now in vietnam, it is time that congress decided whether or not to declare a state of war exists with north vietnam. previous congressional resolutions of support provide only limited authority. although congress may decide that the previously approved resolution on vietnam given president johnson is sufficient, the issue of a declaration of war should at least be put before the congress for decision.
