when trump does things i disagree with, i will protest. for example, his refusal to properly separate himself from his businesses is truly unconscienceable and makes this country look like a banana republic. but if he ends up doing things that are sensible, i will cheer. trump has a unique opportunity. a vast number of americans are deeply distrustful of elites in washington in new york and elsewhere. they believe that there are simple solutions to the problems that america faces and resent the country's engagement with the world, which they see is harming the average american. these people have put their faith in donald trump. if trump can help make them understand some of the realities of the world and the could nstrs on government, it will be a huge step forward. if donald trump tells his followers that the climate change is worth preserving ornaor sme or nato is crucial for stability. let's get started. ♪ earlier this week, i traveled to d.c. to interview president obama's national security adviser susan rice. there are just 55 days un
