"You said it over and over again."
The Bulwark @BulwarkOnlineWelker: "You insisted no new wars."
Trump: "First of all, I didn't guarantee no war."
Welker: "You said it over and over again."
__On 6 November 2024, election night, Trump stood before supporters in Palm Beach, Florida, and returned to the theme. He told the crowd: 'We had no wars. They said, he will start a war. I'm not going to start a war. I'm going to stop wars.' That speech, archived by the University of California, Santa Barbara's American Presidency Project, stands as a formal record of the incoming president's stated foreign policy intent on the night of his victory.
While campaigning in Pennsylvania in 2024, Trump was equally explicit. 'I will not send you to fight and die in stupid foreign wars that never end,' he told supporters. 'I will not send our sons and daughters to go fight for a war in a country that you've never heard of. We're not going to do it.' That pledge was among those catalogued by Politico in its review of his anti-war record following Sunday's interview.

“I will tell you, you’re not going to have a war with me and you’re not going to have a third world war with me, that I can tell you,” Trump told attendees at a campaign rally in New York in October 2024, where his comment was met with a series of cheers and applause.
