“When he campaigned for this office, the president pledged to put ‘America First.’ The sign outside the White House is not ‘America First,’ but rather ‘For Sale.’ As time passes on, the facts increasingly suggest that the president was and is using the levers of power to enrich himself and his family. For example, one need not be a constitutional lawyer to see the apparent self-dealing and conflicts of interest inherent in Trump’s lease of his hotel steps from the White House. In hindsight, this appears to be relatively benign.”

“We view the path of the present administration as corroding the international standards the United States had as a negotiator, a mediator and a compromiser for good. Frankly, we lost our way. We did not allow the UN inspectors to proceed in completing their work and did not allow a vigorous international debate before the decision was made to go into Iraq. There were those of us who voted ‘No’ even based upon the overwhelming evidence that this administration tried to present. We have come to the understanding that much of what the members of Congress heard was misrepresenting and misleading. So, that counters what we have been known for in the United States and that is our diplomacy, our willingness to listen, our ability to negotiate.”
