  • A USA today article seems to dispute this slightly. It’s a minor tweak but in the sake of fairness it completely changes the interpretation.

    “The job of the U.S. armed forces is not to host drag shows, to transform foreign cultures (and) spread democracy to everybody around the world at the point of a gun,” he said. “The military’s job is to dominate any foe and annihilate any threat to America, anywhere, anytime and any place.”

    Does anyone know whether he said “but spread democracy…” or “and spread democracy…”?

    If the former like this post suggests, then it is indeed another notch in Trump’s belt of horrific quotes that would get any other politician at any other time in American history vilified. If the latter like USA Today is reporting then he seems to be arguing that the US military’s role is not to “spread democracy at the point of a gun.”
