Trump Let A Foreign Government Edit One Of His Speeches

As a presidential candidate, Trump let the UAE add language to his energy policy address.
ABC News reported:

Two weeks before Trump was scheduled to deliver the energy policy speech, Thomas Barrack, a California investment tycoon with extensive contacts in the Middle East and who later helped oversee Trump’s inauguration, provided a former business associate inside the United Arab Emirates with an advance copy of the candidate’s planned remarks. The associate then told Barrack he shared them with UAE and Saudi government officials, after which Barrack arranged for language requested by the UAE officials to be added to the speech with the help of Trump’s campaign manager at the time, Paul Manafort.

ABC News has obtained copies of more detailed emails and texts from House investigators, who gathered more than 60,000 documents showing what they say are the intermingling of private interests and public policy decision by Trump aides both before and after he took office. The resulting investigative report, made public Monday, presents events surrounding the 2016 energy speech as a prime example of how Trump’s close aides were granting their foreign business contacts access to campaign policy decisions.

Presidential candidates shouldn’t have their speeches written by foreign governments

It should be obvious to everyone, but a presidential candidate who has a speech reviewed and edited by a foreign government is not putting America first or working in the best interests of the people of the United States. Trump has always been owned by foreign governments. Whether it’s Russia, UAE, or Saudi Arabia, Trump is the most compromised president in the history of the nation.

As Donald Trump attacks the patriotism of non-white Americans, keep in mind that this is the same man who gave his speech over to foreign governments for review and editing.

Trump isn’t a president. He is a hostile takeover which was installed by those who want to see democracy fail.
