And there wasn't a big divide.

President Obama had a similar worldview.

The idea that now one of the country's two political parties is not only not repulsed,

Do you think he understands the history of World War II?

It has been until now beyond politics and beyond debate to go to Normandy and honor those sacrifices.

And it seems that the enthusiasm for destroying NATO, which is a through line.

I mean, he's been indifferent about NATO.

I mean, I remember his first foreign trip in his first term.

I mean, obviously, H.R.

McMaster and Dina Powell couldn't get him to publicly commit to honoring our commitments to our allies when we're the only people that have ever called in a chit from NATO.

I mean, and so I often wonder if he understands why we're in NATO and what we get out of it.

He reiterated in Davos, we must have Greenland.

He said in an interview with the New York Times, it's a quote, it is for me psychologically, we need to own it.

How are we orienting ourselves around what he said is a personal psychological need to own Greenland?
