People have always claimed that Trump has no real stance on issues, especially foreign policy.

(starts at 34:15)

He went through this entire 40-minute speech outlining his approach to foreign policy. So, how can any American disagree with anything he's said here?

Spoiler

To disagree with any of those points, you'd have to think things like:

Our country shouldn't come first.
We should force the Middle East into democracy (which is impossible).
We should weaken our country to rebuild others.
Europe and Asia shouldn't have to pay us for our extensive help.
We should tell our enemies when and how we are going to attack them.

Spoiler "My foreign policy will always put the interests of America and the American people first." "We have this dangerous idea that we can make Western democracies out of countries that have no interest in Western democracy." "We're rebuilding other countries while weakening our own." "We have spent billions of dollars defending Europe and Asia. They've got to pay up or defend themselves." "We're getting out of the nation-building business." "We must stop importing extremism through immigration policies." "ISIS, your days are numbered. I won't tell them when and I won't tell them how. As a nation, we need to be more unpredictable." "In the Middle East, we must be clear-sighted about those who will always be our enemies." "The world is most peaceful and most prosperous when America is strongest. To play that role, we must make America strong again." To disagree with any of those points, you'd have to think things like: Our country shouldn't come first.
