Kamala Harris: Trump’s ‘Been Conducting Foreign Policy Through Tweets’

‘Understand the severity and the seriousness of one’s decisions and put the time and effort into studying an issues’

EXCERPT:

MADDOW: “Do you think that we should keep troops in Afghanistan? The president seems to want to withdraw a large number of them but it’s not clear that’s going to happen.”
HARRIS: “So I do not and I believe we need to do it, though, in a responsible way and that is not what the president has done. He has been conducting foreign policy through tweets, instead of what a commander-in-chief should do, which is understand the the seriousness and the severity of one’s decisions and then put the time and effort into studying an issue, consulting with their experts, be it generals, be it foreign policy experts, be it ambassadors and members of the State Department, and our allies, to make a decision, instead of this approach that -- that assumes that we’re the only one in the room, or that he’s the only one in the room."
