If Trump Didn’t Send Musk to Talk with the Iranians…He Should!

By Ron Paul

​One of the most encouraging and promising things President-elect Trump said in his post-election acceptance speech was, “I’m not going to start a war. I’m going to stop wars…” We all understand that campaign promises often have a short shelf life after the election is over, but the Trump campaign’s repeated talk of peace over war at least demonstrates that he finds it a winning point to make to American voters.

Will that talk of peace turn into action in the second Trump presidency, e...

So the big issue is not who has more authority over the other; the president o...
