5. He Has Sound Military/Security Policies
Donald Trump is a businessman who recognizes that while economics is important, an effective protection effort is paramount to ongoing financial success. He has pledged to maintain military strength and will be tough on ISIS. He has also indicated that “tough on ISIS” will not include a massive, costly, and bloody military campaign (like Afghanistan and Iraq) but will involve a new look at military action, claiming that he will consult with brilliant military minds and push back the fundamentalists. Trump appears to be the candidate that sees ISIS as a threat but realizes that the last two major counter-insurgency campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan have been ineffective.
Aside from ISIS, Trump has said that humanitarian and interventionist military efforts are nice on paper and good for photo ops, but can cause more problems than they solve. Crippling ISIS but leaving countries that are not direct threats alone is a sound and intelligent way to maximize military efficiency, while not vomiting money around the globe unnecessarily.
