Sellers: We Have To Look at Trump’s Speech in the Totality of Everything He’s Said

‘If we’re going to have a conversation about Donald Trump and his future foreign policy going forward, we cannot just look at this speech in isolation’

EXCERPT:

SELLERS: "Many people who saw this speech and compared it to the 2009 speech of Barack Obama saw a lot of similarities. You can even go back to George Bush and you saw a lot of similarities in the tone and the language that was used. But you can’t look at this speech in a vacuum from who Donald Trump really is and what he said along the campaign trail. Is the person we saw today someone who wants the Muslim world to help us fight ISIS and combat terror? Is that the president who is going to be leading from this point forward? Or is it the one, who, on the campaign trail, said that the Islam hates us, who was a proponent of the Muslim ban. And so I think that if we’re going to have a conversation about Donald Trump and his future foreign policy going forward, we cannot just look at this speech in isolation. We have to look at the totality of everything that he said."
