1. In his 2000 book “The America We Deserve,” Trump argued that a military strike on Iraq might be necessary.

2. When radio host Howard Stern asked Trump in September 2002 if he is “for invading Iraq,” Trump responded, “Yeah, I guess so. I wish the first time it was done correctly.”

3. Trump increased troop levels in warzones.

4. In 2019, air strikes from the US and its allies in Afghanistan killed 700 civilians, more than in any other year since the beginning of the war in 2001 and 2002

5. The US dropped more bombs on Afghanistan in 2019 than any other year since the Pentagon began keeping a tally in 2006.

6. He vetoed a measure to force the end to U.S. Involvement in Yemen War.

7. He vetoed bills intended to block arms sales to Saudi Arabia

8. He destroyed all progress with Iran via the Nuclear Deal and then dropped a bomb on an Iranian General.

9. He abandoned America's Kurdish allies, ask them as they're being slaughtered if the world is more peaceful.

10. He said of Russia invading a NATO country "I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want."

11. SvennoJ can and has already posted about how Trump's policies directly led to inflaming tensions around Israel.

12. The Russo-Ukrainian War started in 2014 and then escalated into a Full-Scale Invasion in 2022. I did not see Trump stop the war when he was President the first time around, that was when Russia only occupied Crimea and parts of Donbas via proxies, Trump couldn't stop the war then but I'm now expected to believe he can stop the war when Russia now occupies 15-20% of Ukraine?

I'm convinced by "peace" that Trump voters mean Americans scrubbing their hands of everything while watching the world burn which tracks with Trump voters, they don't care about anyone but themselves and who cares about the non-whites being bombed, and as for Ukraine, that's entirely on Europe, irrelevant of the security commitments America made to Ukraine in the 90s and Israel? They can slaughter whoever they want because it's Holy Land or some religious nonsense like that and Israel has America bent over backwards (Both Democrat and Republican)

As for Trump himself, he is as much of a hawk as any other President but he tends to be sympathetic to countries like Russia and only hawkish to the countries full with non-white people, maybe he does the right thing and supports Ukraine but that definitely isn't what Trump voters have in mind, they've been all in on Trump abandoning Ukraine which they stupidly believe will lead to peace. He ain't no peace loving dove, the issue, however, is knowing who he decides to wake up angry against in any given day.
