>And Trump may not believe in our current wars right now, but he has given many indications that he'd be willing to use nuclear weapons against enemies who don't have them, and to encourage our allies to develop their own arsenals, so I'm not getting a sense that a more peaceful world is his priority.
If your enemies know you are willing to use Nuclear, they will not attack. If they won't attack, then there will be no war. No war = peace.
>...he has given many indications that he'd be willing to use nuclear weapons against enemies who don't have them...
He said "as a last resort." In other word, if America is about to go down, he will use Nuclear to save America as a last resort.
If your enemies have nukes, and they are willing to nuke you, and you are not willing to nuke them back, then they'll just nuke you to bits, because they know you won't nuke them back. Remember, just because America is a good country doesn't mean that North Korea is also a good country. North Korea will not think twice about nuking America if America is not willing to nuke them back.
>...encourage our allies to develop their own arsenals...
Go read the Theory of Nuclear Deterrence. Nuclear Deterrence prevents war. It encourages countries to solve their problems through other means, instead of through war.
Trump just wants peace. And he understands how to get it.
