Loose Cannons Tend To Misfire: Donald Trump’s Dangerous Foreign Policy
Continuing his efforts to convince the Republican establishment and the American people that he’s “presidential,” Donald Trump is set to give a foreign policy address today. But nothing he can say can hide the long list of dangerous national security proposals he’s put forward over the course of this campaign. He has used the most reckless rhetoric of any major presidential candidate in modern history.
These are not off-the-cuff quips. Despite his frequent contradictions and displays of ignorance, Trump has a long record of recklessness and has espoused a worldview that goes against everything that makes America great. A Trump presidency risks leaving both our country and the world dramatically less safe.
As Hillary Clinton has said, loose cannons tend to misfire.
Check out some of Trump’s most irresponsible comments and proposals, and experts’ condemnation of them, below:
Trump’s Recklessness With Nuclear Weapons
Donald Trump has displayed a reckless disregard for the dangers of nuclear proliferation, saying Japan and South Korea and Saudi Arabia may need nuclear weapons:
· CBS News, 3/29/16:<http://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-japan-south-korea-might-need-nuclear-weapons/> Donald Trump: Japan, South Korea might need nuclear weapons

TRUMP: Saudi Arabia, absolutely.

Trump refused to rule out using tactical nuclear weapons against ISIS:

Trump’s Dangerous Plans For Fighting ISIS
Trump has called for sending tens of thousands of American ground troops to back into the Middle East to fight ISIS.
· Weekly Standard, 3/10/16<http://www.weeklystandard.com/trump-calls-for-20000-30000-troops-to-fight-isis/article/2001505>: Trump Calls for 20,000-30,000 Troops to Fight ISIS
Trump has insisted that he would intentionally kill terrorists’ family members and has repeatedly called for returning to Bush-era torture, which has been widely denounced as ineffective, unethical, and dangerous for American servicemembers around the world.
· Donald Trump, 12/2/15<http://www.cnn.com/2015/12/02/politics/donald-trump-terrorists-families/index.html?sr=twCNN120215donald-trump-terrorists-families/0141PMVODtopLink&linkId=19235497>: "The other thing with the terrorists is you have to take out their families”

These calls clearly violate international laws, so in turn, Trump has denounced the Geneva Conventions and urged us to fight more like ISIS.
· Face The Nation, 3/7/16<http://www.cbsnews.com/news/face-the-nation-transcripts-march-6-2016-trump-cruz-clinton-priebus/>: TRUMP: We are playing by rules, but [ISIS has] no rules. It's very hard to win when that's the case. DICKERSON: Isn't that separates us from the savages, rules? TRUMP: No, I don't think so. We have to beat the savages. DICKERSON: And therefore throw all rules out? TRUMP: We have beat the savages. DICKERSON: By being savages? TRUMP: No. We -- well, look, you have to play the game the way they're playing the game. You're not going to win if we are soft, and they are -- they have no rules.
· Donald Trump on waterboarding being a violation of international law, 3/22/16<http://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-brussels-attacks-waterboarding-2016-3>: "Well I would say that the eggheads who came up with this international law should turn on their television and watch CNN right now, because I'm looking at scenes on CNN right now as I'm talking to you that are absolutely atrocious,"

Trump’s Damaging Islamophobia
Donald Trump has proposed banning Muslims from entering the United States, and toyed with the idea of creating a national database to track all Muslims. Not only are these plans un-American, but experts agree that they would play right into terrorists’ hands.
· Donald Trump statement, 12/7/15<https://www.donaldjtrump.com/press-releases/donald-j.-trump-statement-on-preventing-muslim-immigration>: “Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on.”

Undermining Our Key Alliances
At a time that calls for strengthening our cooperation with our allies to tackle shared challenges, Donald Trump seems set on undermining them. He’s called NATO obsolete, said we gain nothing from the United Nations or from protecting our allies in Asia, and has said he’d ask Israel to reimburse the US for military assistance:
· Donald Trump, 3/29/16<http://cnnpressroom.blogs.cnn.com/2016/03/29/full-rush-transcript-donald-trump-cnn-milwaukee-republican-presidential-town-hall/>: “NATO has to be either changed, or we have to do something.”

TRUMP: Personally I don’t think so. I personally don’t think so.
Trump’s Support For Brutal Dictators And Strongmen
Trump has expressed a disturbing amount of admiration for the actions of widely reviled dictators and strongmen. He has praised the leadership of Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, Saddam Hussein, and even the Chinese government’s strength in the Tiananmen Square massacre.
· NBC News, 3/11/16<http://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/trump-calls-tiananmen-square-protests-riot-defends-calling-crackdown-strong-n536761>: Trump Calls Tiananmen Square Protests a 'Riot,' Defends Calling Crackdown 'Strong'
o Donald Trump, 1990<http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/432043/donald-trump-praised-tiananmen-square-massacre>: “When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it. Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength. That shows you the power of strength. Our country is right now perceived as weak … as being spit on by the rest of the world”
· Washington Post, 12/18/15<https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/12/18/donald-trump-glad-to-be-endorsed-by-russias-top-journalist-murderer/>: Donald Trump isn’t fazed by Vladimir Putin’s journalist-murdering
