I'm more concerned about our President's view about foreign wars that kill tens to hundreds of thousands of civilians, but I guess if you want to focus on their tweets then go ahead.

I haven't gotten to a point where I can compare Clinton and Trump on policy. First I don't think Trump really has consistent or in depth policy on anything. Second, I just don't think Trump has the temperament or stability to be President. I don't know why Trump would be better on foreign wars. But I think foreign policy under a Trump presidency would be based entirely on Trump's personal opinion.

Sure, tweets are inconsequential, and I think politics would be more productive if disagreements focused on policy differences. But his words and actions show that he's a really petty and shallow person. And he would be a petty and shallow President. I don't think he really has many specific well thought out plans he could actually implement.

...which makes me wonder whether Trump has any "view" at all about foreign wars that kill thousands of civilians.

The fact that he never had to worry about such stuff doesn't bode well for his ability to handle such stuff.
