it does not want to trade war with the u.s. and relations are significantly worse off today than a week ago. why? what is the benefit? how does that impact what the world is seeing right now regarding mexico? how does that impact our relationship with china, with asia, with the rest of the world? well, countries like china have seized the opportunity that the trump presidency is offering, to fill the vacuum for international leadership of this global system. when trump says america first, china is saying, no, we put the global system of trade and economics first. we are going to be your new partrs ande are going to be the new leaders. i thk that is something people need to think carefully about. we are dismantling piece-by-piece the structure of american economic and security power around the world and if we are not careful, we are going to end up weaker than before.
story and detracting in this ambitious change agenda and it s puzzling. the mexico example is a perfect one and i think another clear example is the question of cia interrogation where the president has new people and the president after listening to jim mattis, i m not so sure about torture. all of a sudden, he is back in the thick of that very divisive painful issue. then last night, david, you know, we have talked about this a good bit and i have tried the past several days to get clarification on what is torture, where does waterboarding fit. obviously, we consider that to be torture. but part of that exercise was i knew the president was speaking in an exact way, that he was talking about torture when what he meant to say was enhanced interrogation techniques. he tried to clear it up last
just that. katty kay, obviously, some real concerns from not only britain, but europe and across the world because donald trump is actually doing what donald trump said he was going to do. yeah. there is an element of fear and confusion about what is going to replace all of this. if he is going to rip up the world order that is underpinned the west since the world war ii what comes next and is politics like science and nature, in a vacuum and will somebody else step in again? that is what you heard teresa may saying. i thought it was a nuance speech. it sympathized what is happening in britain and america while staying, we are still here and we are still responsible for leading the post world war. she called out nato and the united nations and mentioned
you know, just kind of put this on the back burner for the next four years because that is not what this president is about. we have been saying it for the past year and a half. he doesn t care about balanced budgets. he thinks big. he wants big. and he said it last night. he specifically said last night, he doesn t care about balanced budgets. no. i look at his tax plan and it blows another hole in the deficit. i think part of the problem with this conversation about entitlement spending is that americans don t understand that it can be a crisis quickly, that they don t feel it in their everyday life. what is the moment at which social security catch up to the country for real? this is the sort of thing i believe i saw that under the sorts of things that donald trump has proposed, i think around 2034 some of this goes bankrupt. it s hard to get people to think about things that don t touch their lives. we talked about he very beginning with gene saying, look, we got to talk abou
