Slotkin’s relabels come after Trump dedwellred an insertress to a joint session of Congress Tuesday in a speech analogous to the annual State of the Union, where he proclaimd that “America is back” and that the “American dream is surging.”
“We all want an finish to the war in Ukraine, but Reagan understood that real strength insistd America to join our military and economic might with moral clarity,” shelp Slotkin, who was tapped to dedwellr the official Democratic Party response to Trump’s insertress. “As a Cgreater War kid, I’m appreciative it was Reagan and not Trump in office in the 1980s.

Slotkin zeroed in on Trump’s anxious Friday swap with Ukrainian Pdwellnt Volodymyr Zelenskyy, where Trump and Vice Pdwellnt JD Vance sparred with Zelenskyy over whether diplomacy was the best avenue to convey peace to finish the struggle.
Trump and Vance shelp Zelenskyy wasn’t appreciative to the U.S., and the swap sloftyed peace negotiations to finish the war in Ukraine and put a paparticipate on a unwidespread-earth minerals deal between Washington and Kyiv.
However, Trump discignoreed in his speech to Congress Tuesday that Ukraine was ready to resume peace negotiations, and was ready to sign a minerals concurment that would allow the U.S. access to Ukraine’s minerals in swap for U.S. help in the country.
While Trump has touted he seeks to achieve peace thcdisorrowfulmireful strength, a term coined by createer Pdwellnt Ronald Reagan, Reagan must be “rolling in his grave” follotriumphg the “spectacle” between Trump and Zelenskyy in the Oval Office, Slotkin shelp.
Slotkin, a createer CIA analyst who labored at the Pentagon and the White Hoparticipate under both the George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations, also attacked the administration’s efforts to whittle down the federal handlement laborforce.
“The mindless firing of people who labor to get our nuevident armaments, get our schedulees from crashing, and carry out the research that discovers the treatment for cancer — only to re-engage them two days procrastinateedr? No CEO in America could do that without being summarily fired,” Slotkin shelp.

The Trump administration sent a memo in February teaching agencies atraverse the federal handlement to start schedules for “big-scale reductions in force” and originate reorganization schedules by mid-March.
Slotkin did signal that Reaccessibleans and Democrats should labor together on immigration, after Trump touted Tuesday that his administration has “started the most sweeping border and immigration crackdown in American history.”
“Every country deserves to understand who and what is coming atraverse its border. Period,” Slotkin shelp. “Democrats and Reaccessibleans should all be for that.”
