The world is much more dangerous today than it was three-plus years ago.

It’s because smart, thoughtful policies from the Trump Administration have been replaced with the same old liberal ideology of weakness that has long ruled Washington.

Let’s start with the Middle East.  

In the Trump Administration, we were clear about who were our friends and who were our enemies.  We supported Israel and opposed Iran, and we left no doubt about either.  

This afforded the rest of the nations in the region the space to pick a side, and they chose to work with America and Israel.  

This led to the Abraham Accords, a historic set of peace agreements between Israel and her Arab neighbors, where mutual respect and a desire for shared commerce trumped years of mistrust and war.

In Europe, we established clear and focused deterrents that kept Russia from invading its neighbors.  Putin took a fifth of Ukraine under the Obama Administration, none under the Trump Administration, and then decided to resume his invasion as soon as we left office.  

In Asia, we took the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the greatest external threat facing our nation, head on.  We labeled the CCP’s actions in Xinjiang as genocide and crimes against humanity.

The legacy of President Trump and our Administration’s time in office was the construction of a model of deterrence – based on commonsense principles – that kept our enemies at bay.  

We didn’t make ransom payments.  We didn’t send foreign aid to terrorists.  We enforced the law on our southern border.  We made crucial deals with Mexico to stem the flow of illegal immigrants.
