One of the best lines at the Republican National Convention recently was by the president of Ultimate Fighting Championship Dana White when he introduced former-President Trump to accept the GOP presidential nomination and close out the convention.

White said, "America needs a strong president. And the world needs a strong United States."

These words perfectly reflected the urgent need for a strong and decisive U.S. commander in chief following three and a half years of the weakest U.S. president with the worst foreign policy in history.
