Trump is not a champion of human rights. He is a clueless clown.; The Washington Post, November 22, 2018

Eugene Robinson, The Washington Post; Trump is not a champion of human rights. He is a clueless clown.

"There is no mention in his statement of human rights, no mention of freedom of the press. There is no notion of the United States as an advocate for liberty or a foe of despotism. There is only the amoral pursuit of what Trump sees — not very clearly — as U.S. national interests."
