Back on the Campaign Trail - Er, Thank You Tour

Donald Trump promised a “new era of peace” during the first stop of his “Thank You” tour in Cincinnati, Ohio, vowing that the US will stop trying to overthrow world governments and will cooperate with countries fighting terrorism.

Seems a little counter to his appointments of generals and hardliners, but if this is true, I'm looking forward to it.

I am, however, feeling skeptical, considering this Trump Tweet:


He vowed to rebuild the country's "depleted" military and went on to repeat many of his other campaign vows, including a promise to "construct a great wall at the border" with Mexico.
I wonder why we need a larger military if we're not going to be doing any regime changing. Is the military going to build that wall? Last I heard him say, it's going to be more of a fence. But that was for the non-Fox TV audience, so these guys at the rally probably didn't hear it.
He called for affordable childcare and help for female entrepreneurs, as well as for an investment of federal resources for law enforcement across the country.

[...]

Additional stops on the tour will be announced after the venues have been booked, according to officials cited by Bloomberg.
On the fly. This may be the hallmark of the Trump presidency.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
