This week, Donald Trump made one of his most reckless statements in recent memory — and that’s saying something.
Speaking in South Carolina, Trump told the story of when one of the presidents of a big European country asked him what the U.S. would do if they were attacked by Russia.
Trump responded: “No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage [Russia] to do whatever the hell they want.”
His statement is completely unhinged and should concern every single American, not to mention the message it sends to European democracies — and Vladimir Putin.
Donald Trump wants to be president of… what country again?
This is why I worked for years to pass a law blocking any president from leaving NATO. And it’s one reason I’m fighting so hard to win reelection — to ensure we have a Democratic Senate that could serve as a backstop to a potential Trump presidency.
