Pence is more of a true conservative than trump is. Trump is more of a populist moderate (of course the modern left makes moderates seem like Nazis)

In the western world conservatives are almost always establishment, it's liberals that are usually trying to change the foundation of a country.

Establishment as in cross party lines growing the scope of government and its spending. McConnell graham pelosi Schumer all in the same.

The traditional conservative view is that military spending should universally be expanded. Same with the economy however under conservative policies.

However fiscal responsibility would include cutting back spending like foreign aid yes.

I want someone to tell the rest of nato to pay their fair share or even better get out of nato. We don’t need to be financing the worlds defense

To be fair countries like Japan and Korea pay almost all of the costs for our bases in their country as well as giving good trade deals in exchange for their protection.

But yes nato countries that don't maintain our military costs should develop their own instead of free loading.
