bomb the shit out of ISIS and put nukes on the table (as a pre-emptive strike). He threatened to dismantle the Iran deal - - a massively distabilizing move. Was this libertarian asshole too busy cursing the Civil Rights Act to pay attention?

Trump also vocated:

-taking Iraq's oil (a war crime).

-killing the family members of terrorists (a war crime).

-torture methods worse than waterboarding (you guessed it, a war crime).

Where did these libertarian right-wingers get the idea that Trump was an isolationist peace dove? His foreign platform was contradictory and incoherent, sure, but at its heart, it was extremely hawkish.
