Lindsey Graham: ���I Don���t Know What America First Means���
And there it is.
On Friday, in his inauguration speech, Donald Trump talks about putting ���America first,��� and on Sunday, Lindsey Graham is telling the world he doesn���t know what ���America first��� means.
Trump���s message at his inauguration talked about protecting both the nation���s borders and economy from ���the ravages of other countries,��� and said that he would work to ���rebuild our country with American hands and American labor.���
���From this day forward a new vision will govern our land,��� the new president declared. ���From this day forward, it's going to be only ���America first.������
Two days later, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., was on CBS News��� Face the Nation to say that he did not know what that meant.
���To the president, if America first is a throwback to the 20���sand 30���s isolationism when it was first used as a phrase, the world would deteriorate even quicker, if it is a new way of Ronald Reagan���s peace through strength I would like to work with him,��� Graham said. ���I don���t know what America first means.���
What is troubling to some observers of Graham���s reaction is that it appeared Trump spelled out in his speech precisely what he meant by ���America first,��� and that there is no reason for anyone to be confused.
Except, perhaps, those who are so accustomed, or comfortable, with America subordinating its own concerns to those of the globalist agenda, that any talk of the nation prioritizing its own national interests is received as unintelligible gibberish.
