I find a great many republican/Trump supporters have almost the exact same thing to say as the news they watch, aside from my Aunt and Uncle who for reasons unknown support Trump, but they word it in a way that leads me to believe they formed their own opinions. Now they don't agree with everything he is doing, but they aren't parrots like you seem to be either. I personally think they voted for Trump because they didn't want a another politician in office. Which I do get. I didn't vote for Hillary, I wrote in Sanders.
Although Sanders is a politician, he is surprisingly clean and fair unlike his colleagues, yeah he got arrested more than a few times for protesting, I would much rather have a guy in office that went to jail for equal rights than a bloated, deluded, narcissistic egomaniac any day. Literally every single conversation Trump has in front of a camera, he makes it about himself and how he is the greatest using kindergarten level speech. He has zero public speaking skills. And Iphone predictive text has been proven to be a better speech writer than how he "talks."
Have you ever read any of his speeches? If you turned it in as a paper you would get an F.
"What's your priority among our nuclear triad?"
Trump: "Well, first of all, I think we need somebody absolutely that we can trust, who is totally responsible; who really knows what he or she is doing. That is so powerful and so important. And one of the things that I'm frankly most proud of is that in 2003, 2004, I was totally against going into Iraq because you're going to destabilize the Middle East. I called it. I called it very strongly. And it was very important.
"But we have to be extremely vigilant and extremely careful when it comes to nuclear. Nuclear changes the whole ball game. Frankly, I would have said get out of Syria; get out -- if we didn't have the power of weaponry today. The power is so massive that we can't just leave areas that 50 years ago or 75 years ago we wouldn't care. It was hand-to-hand combat.
"The biggest problem this world has today is not President Obama with global warming, which is inconceivable, this is what he's saying. The biggest problem we have is nuclear -- nuclear proliferation and having some maniac, having some madman go out and get a nuclear weapon. That's in my opinion, that is the single biggest problem that our country faces right now.
"Of the three legs of the triad, though, do you have a priority? I want to go to Senator Rubio after that and ask him."
: "I think -- I think, for me, nuclear is just the power, the devastation is very important to me."
"I do. First, let's explain to people at home who the triad -- what the triad is. Maybe a lot of people haven't heard that terminology before. The triad is our ability of the United States to conduct nuclear attacks using airplanes, using missiles launched from silos or from the ground, and also from our nuclear subs' ability to attack. And it's important -- all three of them are critical. It gives us the ability at deterrence.
"Now, some have become more critical than others; for example, the submarines. And that's the Ohio Class submarine that needs to be modernized. The air component also needs to be modernized. The B-52, as someone earlier pointed out, is an outdated model that was flown by the grandparents of people that are flying it now. And we need a serious modernization program as well on our silo-launched missiles. All three are critical for the defense of the country."
