The First Step Is To Take Weapons

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.

We Know That Donald Trump Has Shown A Very Troubling Willingness To Back Up [vladimir] Putin, To Support Putin, Whether It's Saying That Nato Wouldn't Come To The Rescue Of Allies If They Were Invaded, Talking About Removing Sanctions From Russian Officials After They Were Imposed By The United States And Europe Together, Because Of Russia's Aggressiveness In Crimea And Ukraine, His Praise For Putin Which Is I Think Quite Remarkable.

I'll Get Involved In Philanthropy.

The United States Has Kept The Peace Through Our Alliances. Donald Trump Wants To Tear Up Our Alliances. I Think It Makes The World Safer And, Frankly, It Makes The United States Safer. I Would Work With Our Allies In Asia, In Europe, In The Middle East, And Elsewhere. That's The Only Way We're Going To Be Able To Keep The Peace.

I Know That So Many Of Us Hoped That, By Electing Our First Black President, We Had Turned The Page On This Chapter In Our History. But, Despite Our Best Efforts And Our Highest Hopes, America's Long Struggle With Race Is Far From Finished.
