Sen. Rand Paul’s support for President Trump during his Republican National Convention speech on Tuesday leaned heavily on anti-war themes — for good reason.

“President Trump is the first president in a generation to seek to end war rather than start one,” Paul declared in his prepared remarks. “If you hate war like I hate war, if you want us to quit sending $50 billion to Afghanistan for luxury hotels and natural gas stations … you need to support President Trump for another term.”
