We can rewrite history all you want, but the simple fact is that we`re in a much more unstable place because America pulled back.

This is a tough business to run for president.

I just think there's a point past which we are over the line.

I'm working hard to be president of the United States.I'm running to change things, and I'm not going to be part of the political class in Washington, D.C. I have the skills to disrupt the old order and bring about a new culture.
