On foreign policy issues there is very little difference between the Ds and the Rs. In fact there is really one establishment, which is USA Inc. The foreign policies of both parties are guided by what they consider to be the interests of US business. I am not happy at all with the fact that HRC will do nothing to change the way the US behaves in the world. Even Obama's election made very little difference, although the US is perhaps not as closely bound to the Netanyahu faction in Israel as it was before Obama came along, and as it will be again when Clinton takes over. One of the worst things about HRC is her callous attitude towards the Palestinians. Her friendship with Kissinger is also sickening. But nothing would change if Trump were elected. Some of what Trump has to say on these matters has an element of truth, but the idea that somebody who has been so deeply embedded in the establishment for his whole life is going to act against it is ludicrous. In fact he just lies with abandon, like a used-car salesman - anything to close the deal. He has changed is positions on so many things so many times that it would be extremely naive to believe anything he says. It's just that he has discovered how to con the gullible (people he would normally describe as "losers") into believing that he will act for them, while in fact his actions will benefit people like him. His tax plan, which favours the wealthy, has been described as the mirror-image of Clinton's.
