The US has an entire Western hemisphere it can and should be doing more to unify and improve. Like Trump said in 2016, it's time to turn our resources back hom

  But we're not doing that. We're just spending more on the military.

  >Like Trump said in 2016, it's time to turn our resources back home. Rebuild our own infrastructure, social programs, etc. Like a lot of Trump's rhetoric, this sounds nice, but the proof is in the pudding. I don't think we were spending infrastructure and social welfare resources on our military to begin with, so not doing so doesn't necessarily free up resources. The US is fully capable of doing all of these things, it's not short on resources. Also, it's now 2020, and Trump is toying with war in Iran, moving new troops into Iraq, increasing military expenditure by billions of dollars, repealing and cutting funding for social programs and AFAIK not actually rebuilding our infrastructure at all in any significant way.
