In his second inaugural address, Donald Trump affirmed his nationalist agenda and his intention to shift America to the right. He reiterated his commitment to peace, claiming it as his legacy. This stance contradicts the prevailing interventionism among elite foreign-policy circles. Trump critiqued the wars of the 21st century, asserting that a president's success should also be measured by the wars they prevent. Although not a pacifist, he aligns with historical leaders aiming to strengthen America. His vision of 'peace through strength' remains divisive among different political ideologies.
"We will measure our success, not only by the battles we win, but also by the wars that we end, and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into."
