The Public Trust Is At The Core

Recently In Washington, Unfortunately, We Have Seen Examples Of The Wrong Kind Of Leadership -- When Politicians Choose Scorched Earth Over Common Ground, When They Operate In What I Call The 'evidence-free Zone,' With Ideology Trumping Everything Else.

You Know, We Did A Good Job In Containing The Soviet Union, But We Made A Lot Of Mistakes, We Supported Really Nasty Guys, We Did Some Things That We Are Not Particularly Proud Of, From Latin America To Southeast Asia, But We Did Have A Kind Of Overarching Framework About What We Were Trying To Do That Did Lead To The Defeat Of The Soviet Union And The Collapse Of Communism. That Was Our Objective. We Achieved It.

China Is Illegally Dumping Steel In The United States And Donald Trump Is Buying It To Build His Buildings, Putting Steelworkers And American Steel Plants Out Of Business. That's Something That I Fought Against As A Senator And That I Would Have A Trade Prosecutor To Make Sure That We Don't Get Taken Advantage Of By China On Steel Or Anything Else.

I Hope Donald Trump Will Be A Successful President.

I Don't Think That The United States Has The Bulk Of The Responsibility. I Really Put That On Bashar Assad And On The Iraqis And On The Region Itself.
