Trudy Rubin - "Trump says only he can 'prevent World War III,' but his embrace of autocrats endangers the USA." [View all]
There has been hardly any focus on foreign policy during this election season. Yet, Donald Trump has convinced his supporters that he alone can keep America safe.

But the exact opposite is true. A Trump foreign policy presidency will make global conflict far more likely during the next four years. It will make America less safe at home and abroad.
These days, Trump is still regarded as erratic and reckless with rhetoric. But allies and adversaries alike question his mental stability and coherence — and the dictators he admires have long since gotten his number. They know they can manipulate him with flattery. And they know he wants to bring U.S. troops home, not send or keep them abroad to protect allies. Or even to protect the United States.

Contrary to his bragging, he will deeply endanger the safety of this country.
