Gutting USAID is a travesty, and it's a tragedy. Because it's some of the most important work happening anywhere in the world.
Real strength is about working hard and taking responsibility and telling the truth even when it's inconvenient.
Look, I don't think what we just witnessed in terms of economic policy and tariffs is going to be good for America.
Some of you know when I was growing up, I didn't have a father in the house. But I did have people around me, stepfather, grandparents, teachers, coaches and most of all my mother, who tried to teach me the difference between right and wrong, who showed me what it meant to be honest and responsible to work hard, to treat other people the way I wanted to be treated.
