America’s place in the world is taking a beating.  A poll from The Pew Center taken from more than 26,000 people around the world found Donald Trump is less trusted than Vladimir Putin!

Our place in the world matters.  Those who’ve sat in the halls of power and are intimately aware of our friends and foes are ringing the alarm bells.  Today we heard from former Secretaries of State Madeleine Albright and Colin Powell. The Democrat and Republican shed light on what they think about the way Donald Trump has been handling some important issues.

Powell: “We’re walking away from the alliances that we used to have. The president goes to Europe to a NATO meeting, but he starts out by insulting some of the other participants, our allies. America has to take a hard look at itself. Especially the Congress. Take a hard look at yourself and see what we are to try to keep their forces in check and put America back in the middle of all this as opposed to a reluctant player and trying to pull out agreements rather than helping to make new agreements.”

Albright: “I think in many ways Trump is almost a gift to Putin in terms of trying to explain why should we deal with those Europeans or why should we have anything to do with NATO.”
