Following his acceptance of the presidential nomination for the Republican party, Donald Trump has made a number of political gaffes._ by [Maya Rhodan](https://time.com/author/maya-rhodan/) ## Maya Rhodan Aug 15, 2016 12:21 PM UTC by [Maya Rhodan](https://time.com/author/maya-rhodan/) ## Maya Rhodan Aug 15, 2016 12:21 PM UTC Donald Trump will revisit his proposed [Muslim immigration policy](http://time.com/4367213/orlando-shooting-donald-trump-immigration-terrorism/) in a foreign policy speech on Monday, and set out a vision for a United States waging war against ISIS and radical Islam. The Republican presidential nominee is expected to say that any nation that shares the U.S.’s goal of destroying ISIS, regardless of underlying ideological divisions, should be considered an ally, the [Associated Press](http://www.militarytimes.com/story/military/2016/08/15/donald-trump-ohio-speech-preview-foreign-policy-realism-replace-nation-building/88751986/) reports. In the speech, set to be delivered from Ohio on Monday, Trump will also lay out a new approach to immigration under which the U.S. would restrict visas for citizens of countries where the U.S cannot perform accurate security screenings. The new immigration policy is a new iteration of the controversial “[total and complete shutdown](https://www.donaldjtrump.com/press-releases/donald-j.-trump-statement-on-preventing-muslim-immigration)” of Muslims entering the U.S, first announced in December. The plan has taken many forms throughout the campaign. [After Orlando](http://time.com/4367213/orlando-shooting-donald-trump-immigration-terrorism/), Trump said he would “suspend immigration from areas of the world when there is a proven history of terrorism against the United States, Europe or our allies, until we fully understand how to end these threats.” The latest, [CNN reports](http://edition.cnn.com/2016/08/14/politics/donald-trump-isis-fight/), also includes a test to determine how visa applicants consider American values. Trump considers his approach to global events as “foreign policy realism,” the AP reports. The U.S., he will say, is in a Cold War-like standoff with radical Islam. Trump’s remarks come on the heels of a stretch of off-the-cuff statements and off-message moments — including [calling President Barack Obama the “founder” of ISIS](http://time.com/4448441/donald-trump-isis-founder/) — that have pushed top Republicans to put pressure on the candidate to stay focused. \[[_AP_](http://www.militarytimes.com/story/military/2016/08/15/donald-trump-ohio-speech-preview-foreign-policy-realism-replace-nation-building/88751986/)\] ## Transcript I humbly and gratefully accept your nomination for the presidency of the United States. Why did Hillary get rid of her middle name? Hillary, no but why did she get rid of it? Hillary Rotten Clinton. She'll go home, she'll take a nap for four or five hours, then she'll come back. No naps for Trump! No nap! I don't take naps! Her running mate, Tim Kaine, who by the way did a terrible job in New Jersey, first act he did in New Jersey. Was asked for a $ 4 billion tax increase and he was not very popular in New Jersey. If you look at his wife she was standing there. She had nothing to say. She probably maybe she wasn't allowed to have anything to say. But he made a deal with the devil. She's the devil. He made a deal with the devil. Thousands of people outside, thousands, that were turned away by For political reasons. Purely for political reasons. Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish the second amendment. By the way and if she get's to pick, if she get's to pick Her judges, nothing you can do folks. [ APPLAUSE ] Although the second amendment people maybe there is I don't know. [ APPLAUSE ] But I tell you what that will be a horrible day. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4452131/donald-trump-foreign-policy-islam/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4452131/donald-trump-foreign-policy-islam/"},"headline":"Donald Trump to Focus on ISIS Fight in Foreign Policy Speech","datePublished":"2016-08-15T12:21:18.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-07T06:42:52.309Z","description":"Campaign says Ohio remarks will focus on 'foreign policy realism'","url":"https://time.com/4452131/donald-trump-foreign-policy-islam/","keywords":["Foreign Policy","Terrorism","Islam","Donald Trump"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7edc87f7cd44e639/6988a26d196cf4779103cda3/donald-trump-foreign-policy-speech.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Maya Rhodan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/maya-rhodan/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7edc87f7cd44e639/6988a26d196cf4779103cda3/donald-trump-foreign-policy-speech.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Donald Trump","caption":"Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump gives a thumbs up after speaking during a campaign rally at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Conn. on Aug. 13, 2016.","creditText":"Evan Vucci—AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4452131/donald-trump-foreign-policy-islam/","name":"Donald Trump to Focus on ISIS Fight in Foreign Policy Speech"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Donald Trump's Meltdown","description":"Following his acceptance of the presidential nomination for the Republican party, Donald Trump has made a number of political gaffes.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/ZnrBU8IB/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2016-08-10T19:41:07.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/ZnrBU8IB.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4452131/donald-trump-foreign-policy-islam/","duration":"PT2M50S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4452131/donald-trump-foreign-policy-islam/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
