I agree that we need to stop supporting other countries so much.
As for ISIS, it's all talk. You think it's really that simple to where Obama and our allies can easily get rid of them if they want to? It's an extremely complex problem that requires a complex, and lengthy solution.
Trump doesn't do complex. He's used to twitter--limited characters. Cannot believe all the hoopla because a candidate managed to make a vague, rambling 'foreign policy' speech with a teleprompter and without screaming. But he still couldn't do it without his usual insults.
Trump's puppetmasters should have done a little research before adopting the America First tag. It's been done:

The America First Committee, created in September 1940, was not only against entry into the war. It also opposed aid. Its program was simple. Since the United States, if properly armed, was impregnable against German attack, there was no reason to help England. Aid would not only fatally weaken America‘s own defenses. It would also draw the country into the conflict.[2] The leaders of the AFC claimed they were motivated by concern for American lives. For some, this was no doubt true. For others, humanitarian rhetoric hid different motives. Many joined the AFC as a way of attacking President Roosevelt and the New Deal. Still others had more sinister reasons. The evolution of the America First movement in the eighteen months of debate preceding Pearl Harbor revealed xenophobic and anti-Semitic sentiment both within the AFC leadership, and among its supporters.
