“Donald Trump tells lots of lies, but one of the biggest and most frequently repeated lies is that he is opposed to U.S. foreign wars. He recently said, ‘We’re uniting forces to end the endless foreign wars.’ It’s not a bad line, and it is designed to appeal to Americans sick of foreign conflicts, but Trump never ended a single war when he was president and he is currently campaigning on starting a new one in Mexico. When a candidate runs on a record as hawkish as Trump’s and when he promises more of the same, no one should believe him when he says he wants to end any wars. The record speaks for itself. Trump had many opportunities to end wars when he was president, but he didn’t do it. Instead of ending them, Trump escalated every war he inherited.” (09/03/24)
