"What Hegseth and Trump have done in terms of alienating all of our partners and allies, alienating everybody, I mean, the humiliating language that Donald Trump loves to use about people, the dismissive nature of how he views our alliances, Smith said."
"Every single country in the world right now is trying to figure out how to de-risk from America, because they're sick of having to suck up to Donald Trump while he belittles and insults them."
"Look, people have pride past a certain point, and much of it is practical, but it's also the reality. Nobody wants to work with this guy because he's a jackass, all right? He insults, and he belittles absolutely everybody like he runs the world."
"And we, the American people, are paying the price for Trump's stupidity."
