Right-wingers do commonly say "there should be no foreign aid given until we fix our problems". The problem is, there's a difference between giving aid to another country that just had a really bad natural disaster, vs giving money and military aid to help another country commit a genocide.
Also worth noting that foreign aid isn't done out of the kindness of their hearts, it's usually used as a tool of US imperialism. Trump and his base are just too stupid to realize that.
