“There are constant attempts to undermine the United States of America because we are the lone superpower in the world. As such, as the bastion, as the light, as the repository for human freedom and dignity on earth, we are the target of every despot and tyrant and dictator on earth, and we have been since the days of our founding. It’s one of the astounding reasons we have survived, in my estimation, because there’s just that piece of paper that has kept everybody honest.”
