Balancing global leadership with America First economics: Tom Basile | America Right Now

Mr. Trump and his team must continue to balance their foreign policy achievements with a bold domestic agenda. Contrary to what Megan Kelly, Tucker Carlson, and others would have you believe, Americans actually don't mind helping the world. Part of the American DNA is an appreciation of that old axiom of those whom much is given, much is required. It is the price that we pay for being the leader of the free world. When America doesn't lead on the world stage or leads behind, as Obama used to say, the world gets far more dangerous for everyone, including Americans. However, Americans are still keenly aware that their own personal economies and ability to achieve their own personal goals cannot be left to languish at the expense of military or foreign policy agendas, however important those may be. One of the reasons George W. Bush left office with such low approval ratings was because his second term was entirely consumed by the Iraq conflict and its aftermath. The daily drum beatat of bad news from the war and an ineffective strategy to counter both the narrative and the situation on the ground paralyzed the administration. Second Bush Bush term had virtually no domestic policy agenda. For Mr. Trump, the answers here are pretty clear. Don't get consumed by the war in Iran, but rather continue to drive the domestic agenda, to identify and prosecute fraud, to urge the passage of the ban on stock trading in Congress, and the Save Act, or some measure of it. He should be talking about the Affordability Agenda and his efforts to lower health care costs, aid local municipalities, and tackling crime, and continued devolving power away from Washington. Those are all winning issues. Forging that balance will help ensure he wins on the world stage and here at home, avoiding the traps of his predecessors who tip the scales too far in the direction of foreign policy. >> Information truth is [music] freedom is Newsmax.

Tom Basile breaks down the critical balance the Trump team must maintain between international leadership and a bold domestic agenda on "America Right Now," warning that a second term consumed by foreign conflict can paralyze domestic progress and tank approval ratings.
