So I was born in the Congo of Haitian parents.
And I know that there are ways that American power has been used in the world generation after generation that disadvantages Americans.
folk from other side of the world in order to advantage Americans who need access to resources.
That is a real thing in our politics that gets underexpressed.
It gets overexpressed by Donald Trump in some really naked and rapacious ways where he says, this is why we're going to seize Greenland.
Here is why the Germans need to do what we say on this pipeline issue.
We're going to go after the oil industry.
He has said this out loud repeatedly, and he's been cheered forward by the crowds who come to his rally.
So I'm going to really, in an effusive way, disagree with you on that.
We've got more disagreements coming.
That's okay.
I'm sure.
But I will agree with you that that is not the focal point.
of people who are showing up and who are voting for him because they think that this businessman, that this reality show businessman that they saw on television can get a handle on things, bring down inflation, can help them have stable jobs and access to all the benefits that they need in a secure way that assures their dignity throughout their lives and that will be building on strength.
Last night, when Trump said that he's restored American strength, I was thinking about
the way he's behaved in the Gulf and these extrajudicial killings off of our coast and these ridiculous irrational tariffs.
And in a real way, we should be making an argument that every single day, this man is making Americans weaker at home and abroad in ways that we need to be able to have a counter for.
I hear you.
He's been talking about stealing the oil for a long time.
