The reason I take pride for that is one of the things you worry about when you're in the bubble, and there's all this pomp and circumstance and hail to the chief is, do you lose touch with what you thought was important and what brought you here? And I'm proud that I don't think I have lost touch.

Hillary Clinton was an outstanding secretary of state. She would never intentionally put America in any kind of jeopardy.

Both of our nations [America and Germany] were proud to join the Paris Climate Agreement which the world should work to implement quickly. Continued global leadership on climate in addition to increasing private investment and clean energy is gonna be critical to meeting this growing threat.

What is important is that we make sure to work together, that we understand our strength comes from unity and not division.

I do think that all politicians today have to be more attentive to people wanting to be heard, wanting to have more control over their lives.

It's time to fundamentally change the way that we do business in Washington. To help build a new foundation for the 21st century, we need to reform our government so that it is more efficient, more transparent, and more creative. That will demand new thinking and a new sense of responsibility for every dollar that is spent.

You don't take it personally. You understand that if people are angry that somehow the government is failing, then they are going to look to the guy who represents government.
