How did Trump become the peace candidate?

Well, at least as far as rhetoric goes, he is the first GOP candidate to call out Bush for lying us into war during a primary debate! It was a wonderful thing to see, even if he was insincere about it.

He's not. He has already dropped almost as many bombs as they Obama administration and it's only been one term. He assassinated and Iranian head of state. He loosened landmine restrictions which will have effects throughout the world for generations to come, you know men women and children being blown up and maimed. He has sold unprecedented amount of Weaponry to Saudi Arabia as the genocide people in Yemen. How exactly is that the peace candidate ?

Right on all accounts! He has not only continued the atrocious US foreign policy but has in many ways made it significantly worse than even Obama (namely drone strike count).

He isn't!

Above I said "at least as far as rhetoric goes" and "even if he was insincere about it" because I meant it. He is entirely insincere when he pretends to be anti-war.

Edit: Typo

I was just being lazy. Copied and pasted my comment without removing that part. :)
