Trump brought Gabbard on stage during a speech at the National Guard Association's annual conference in Detroit on Monday, introducing the former Hawaii congresswoman as a "true American patriot" with "great common sense" and "great spirit."
Gabbard, a 17-year National Guard veteran who served two combat tours in the Middle East, praised Trump's isolationist brand of foreign policy.
"We saw this through his first term in the presidency when he not only didn't start any new wars, he took action to de-escalate and prevent wars," she said, adding that Trump had "the courage to meet with adversaries, dictators, allies and partners alike in the pursuit of peace."
"The same can not be said about Kamala Harris," Gabbard continued. "In fact the opposite is true, and we're living through this reality today as this administration has us facing multiple wars on multiple fronts in regions around the world, and closer to the brink of nuclear war than we ever have been before."












Comment: Guess the optics of trying to force the terms Harris' campaign wanted were just too awful.
