After promising to build a “beautiful wall” on the US-Mexico border throughout his election campaign, inspired by Israel’s “illegal” separation wall built in the West Bank, Trump on June 16 reiterated another promise – to construct a missile defence system like Israel’s Iron Dome but better and over the entire United States. He vowed to make it the world’s greatest missile shield. The former US President first made this pledge in December last year after the Israel-Hamas war broke out and he has repeated it several times at campaign stops since. Trump’s poll promise has been met with great enthusiasm from his supporters.
But does the US need an Iron Dome of its own? How feasible is it for Washington to invest in a short-range missile defence system?
Watch for more details.

He didn’t even finish the wall and he’s already promising something bigger

No, not possible. When Israeli Iron Dome has failed, how's a 100x size Iron Dome over USA possible? Not possible.

I've played StarCraft 2... Never rely on stagnant defense alone... It's just not enough

Iron dome in the US makes little sense. If Canada and Mexico became threats, then yes. In FL, it might make a little more sense with Russias friendship with Cuba.

Trump: "Listen I know all the missiles!, big missile, small missile, medium missile.. If anyone knows a lot about missiles its me!, Nuclear missile bad bad bad, Super defend shield good good good"
