Are journalists really this dumb these days? He was booed when he mentioned stuff that deserved it like Hillary or Obama's previous actions as political leaders. What he said as far as his policy got cheers because it makes perfect sense. The idea that the US must nation build every time it wins a war is absurd yet we have been wasting unimaginable amounts of money on it. Money we don't have I might add. Nation building has pretty much not been done or not worked with the exception of the one instance of Japan after the WWII, and we had to bomb the snot out of them before hand. Building a nation you don't want to control after beating them in war is not possible as they don't want to be rebuilt.  The goal of war is to win by eliminating the threat not to encourage a game of patty-cake afterwards. Thus Trump's statement and thus the cheers. Journalists used to understand more than smear tactics. It's a shame they're too dumb to get it these days.
