President Trump delivered a powerful message to global leaders at a U.S.-Saudi investment forum, slamming decades of failed foreign policy by previous administrations. He declared it’s not America’s job to act as the world’s moral police, saying “far too many American presidents” wasted resources trying to “dispense justice” abroad instead of protecting U.S. interests.
The 45th president made clear that rebuilding America’s military might – including a record $1 trillion defense budget – remains his top priority. “We believe in peace through strength,” Trump stated, noting advanced new weapons systems act as deterrents against foreign threats. He emphasized these tools exist to prevent conflict, not start it.
Trump’s speech marked a sharp break from what he called the “nation-building” disasters of past leaders. He accused them of meddling in foreign affairs to satisfy ideological fantasies rather than focusing on stability and prosperity. The America First blueprint prioritizes hard-nosed deals over lecturing other countries about their internal politics.
The president directly addressed Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, urging Saudi Arabia to normalize relations with Israel through the Abraham Accords framework. But he stressed partnerships must develop organically, saying “you’ll do it in your own time.” This contrasts with past administrations that strong-armed allies with ultimatums.
Trump extended an olive branch to Iran, offering to negotiate a nuclear deal while warning of “maximum pressure” if they refuse. His transactional approach rejects endless wars and nation-building quagmires, focusing instead on clear outcomes that benefit American workers and businesses.
Democrats immediately attacked Trump’s commonsense stance, with Chuck Schumer vowing to block all Justice Department nominations over the president’s willingness to accept a plane gift from Qatar. The left’s outrage highlights their obsession with undermining Trump’s America First victories at every turn.
At the heart of Trump’s message was a spiritual truth: “I believe it is God’s job to sit in judgment – my job to defend America.” This philosophy honors our founders’ vision of a republic focused on liberty at home rather than moral crusades abroad.
The forum showcased Trump’s leadership – rebuilding military strength, securing prosperity through tough deals, and rejecting globalist fantasies. While the swamp fights him, hardworking Americans finally have a president putting their interests above foreign agendas.
