And that's what we see as it relates to Donald Trump and Pete Hexeth and all the people who have gotten us into this war of choice without any justification.
They've got no plans, no objective, and no idea how to get us out of this situation that they themselves got us into.
And as you've pointed out, you now have a dozen countries in the Middle East who are under attack from Iran and are trying to figure out, okay, if the United States doesn't really know how to deescalate a conflict that they raced into,
They're considering other options.
So Donald Trump, as the American people know, hasn't made this country safer.
The American people correctly have come to the conclusion he's actually making us more vulnerable.
And this guy, by the way, doesn't even know the difference between friend or foe.
It seems like he had a friendly conversation with Vladimir Putin, of all people.
who apparently is providing intelligence to Iranians to be able to target U.S.
military service men and women.
And rather than admonish, punish, make sure there are consequences for what Vladimir Putin and Russia appear to be doing, this guy, Donald Trump, continues to go after Ukraine, who's our ally, partnering with Western Europe, trying to push back against Russian aggression.
The whole thing
is extraordinary and out of control.
It's one of the reasons why, though, the American people have been rising up and Republicans have been losing elections literally for 15 consecutive months because the American people are done with the extremism.
And we as Democrats are going to continue to lean into focusing on the issues that matter, driving down the high cost of living, fixing our broken health care system, and yes, cleaning up corruption wherever it may be found.
Absolutely abnormal.
Absolutely abnormal.
from the perspective of someone who's a New Yorker, we've known there's something seriously wrong with this individual for decades.
He's been in our face, but the deterioration has certainly accelerated.
And now it's frightening for the American people, understandably, because this guy is the commander in chief at this moment.
