And I will say there's a debate in our policy in our party. There are some who are arguing, oh, Trump is an isolationist. He's never been an isolationist. Never. He's not interested in extending unnecessary foreign wars. And he has been ending wars, which is the right thing. But look, he stands up to our enemies. And one of the great faults, both the isolationist left and the isolationist right believes that if you don't engage with your enemies, it will produce peace. (27:29–27:39)
