The Islamic ideology is a political ideology based on a religion.

I'm standing up for the U.S. But it's hard when Russians don't have any respect for the current leadership.

Russia ought to get Iran to back out of the proxy wars they are involved in.

We have a problem with radical Islamism and I actually think that we could work together with Russia against this enemy. They have a worse problem than America does.

Trump respects people who are selfish about their country. Putin is a guy who is very selfish about Russia and about the Russian federation, and he understands the history of his country. You can't say, "I don't like you." You've got to respect him. He's a world leader.

Foreign policy is about US national security, it is definitely not non-intervention. It is definitely not isolationist. That's where people want to hear what they want to hear and not listen to what Donald Trump says. It is about national security for the United States, and that's fine.

What I know is it is a disservice to those who continue to serve to think that there's going to be a civil-military breakdown because those who serve, they know who they serve. They know what their loyalties are, that's why you take an oath to the Constitution and your loyalty lies in the chain of command and your buddies. That's always been there. We are a professional military.
