Foreign Relations

I am not a globalist, and I have also given a presidential pledge that I will not leave the country during my administration because I will need to concentrate on domestic problems. Therefore I expect that my foreign relation's policy will differ from what everyone has become used to. Foreign relations in general will change somewhat since I will be letting the world know that I am not the "king of the world" just because I am the president of the U.S. - nor do I have the answers to the world's problems. In fact, they will be assured that I personally have little time for global issues.

If there is any significant change in foreign relations, it will probably come when the rest of the world finds out that I'm cutting off the "feeding trough". When foreign nations come to us with their sad tales of woe they will need to first be made aware that the tax money of the American Taxpayers is no longer up for grabs and that they are wasting their time if they want money. That should save me a lot of wasted time. My Secretary of State will be very busy taking care of foreign matters because of my choice to focus on domestic problems.

I have the same policy on foreign relations that our founding fathers had. Mind your own business as much as possible and stay out of the affairs of other nations as much as possible. These days we find ourselves all entangled with the internal affairs of other nations because of the shift towards globalism. In case you haven't noticed, our leaders think that we need to be involved in saving the world. After all, we are Americans. So we automatically have all of the answers for everyone's problems. That seems to be the current thinking. At least that's the way it works out in the real world.

Our founding fathers understood that when America gets involved with the internal affairs of other nations, their problems become ours and our tax money becomes theirs. That's why they thought it best to mind their own business. Now, of course, it is impossible to completely isolate ourselves from the rest of the world. And we wouldn't want to since we want to carry on trade with our allies. But we have gotten much too involved in the affairs of the world to the point that other nations look to us as if we have all of the answers (and all of the money).

Just because we have the best nation in the history of the world and just because we have the best military in the history of the world and just because we are the wealthiest nation in the history of the world, that does not mean that our leaders need to flaunt it or make the rest of the world think that we are better than them. We can still be all of that, be humble about it, and mind our own business. It would save us a lot of tax money, that's for sure.

So now you know how I stand on foreign relations. I say let's have normal relations with all nations, but stay out of the internal affairs of all nations. And let's keep our tax money in our pockets. Since I will be concentrating on our domestic affairs during my administration, my Secretary of State will be a very important part of the cabinet, and very busy indeed. As for me. I will be too busy with the "Meet and Vote" program to be worried about all of the problems of the world.
