It's for the thousands of other people in the federal government who handle sensitive information and are held to a higher standard.
And they need to know that those standards apply up and down the line.
They're not going to get that from the guy who had untold classified documents at Mar-a-Lago after he left the White House.
Right.
Well, it was a very petty and vindictive thing for Trump to do.
It wasn't just me.
It was Mike Pompeo, Mark Esper, Mark Milley and others that he pulled their security details.
Trump himself, you know, before the election was the target of the Iranians also trying to hire a hit man to go after him.
So he knows this threat is real and present.
And it's a terrible signal to our adversaries around the world of what kind of leader, quote unquote, he is.
Well, I think in particularly in the international area, because of the way Trump sees things all through personal relationships with the likes of Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping and Kim Jong-un and the rest, that it's very, very much a risk that he will give away core American national security interest in ways that harm us and harm our allies in ways we can't calculate decisions he could make.
that will go even further than he has so far and undo really decades of effort to make America more secure, like, for example, withdrawing from NATO.
I'm worried already that the fabric of trust and good faith and confidence in us has already been damaged severely.
It will take a lot of effort to put it back together, but we're only three months in.
We've got 45 months to go.
How much more damage he might do, it's very, very concerning.
And tariffs?
Well, this is a disaster all the way around.
There are legitimate issues in international commerce, particularly with China and the way that they've abused the system, stolen our intellectual property and a whole range of other things.
There are always individual objections to tariff arrangements with trading partners.
