It shows me somebody who’s not focused on the American people and the job they’re supposed to do.

There’s no doubt that we are going through a period right now of disruption, polarization.

We’ve now fought a war, spent billions and billions of dollars, you know, put enormous strain on our military. A lot of people have died. And it feels like we’re back where we were before we started the war, except maybe a little bit worse…

That's what I hope every visitor to this center takes away from their experience.
