I fully understand political leaders protecting their citizens - that goes with the job. I am querying Trump's stance on protecting other citizens. Like UK ones for example.
And will it still be great if he pursues a US isolationist foreign policy? http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/22/us/politics/donald-trump-foreign-policy.html?_r=0
@MV - when you talk of the Red Rock cafe can you tell us just exactly where it is you have in mind.
