Donald Trump calls for an end to 'nation building' by the US around the world.

Another give away to Putin. Of course Putin does not want democratic facilitation and capacity building in the countries in Eastern Europe and Asia he wants under his control. He does not want all that western money to go towards countries to make them strong. What a horrid man Trump is. He knows nothing of how hard and hard fought democracy outside of the West is. How desperate people are for civil rights and economic fairness to be implemented around the world. How at times countries need to be proped up from the outside as they evolve. This is a give away to Putin and big business (who would rather deal with dictators than real democracies). Shame on him. Shame on Trump for idolizing dictators too.

In the form of helping people get clean water, medicine, education, farming help, etc to me would help reduce the amount of people lured to terrorist groups. I wouldn't expect dipshit donnie to know that.
