Susan Rice says Trump's 'America First' vision only makes the US LESS safe

For some reason, leftovers from the Obama administration just keep talking as though they weren’t sent packing in a big way when the American public refused to coronate Obama’s chosen successor. They seem to have suffered some memory loss as well, often overlooking their own massive failures.

Take, for instance, Susan Rice, who’s most famous for shopping the outright lie about a YouTube video causing the “protest” that led to a lethal terrorist assault in Benghazi. On Wednesday, she declared in a New York Times op-ed that President Trump’s “America First” vision is weakening the country.

Trump’s “America First” National Security Strategy is the summation of his abdication of traditional American global leadership. We have relinquished our moral authority, and this will make us less safe. See my piece in NYT. https://t.co/JXLyav5zqZ

Rice writes:

In Mr. Trump’s estimation, we live in a world where America wins only at others’ expense. There is no common good, no international community, no universal values, only American values. America is no longer “a global force for good,” as in President Obama’s last strategy, or a “shining city on a hill,” as in President Reagan’s vision. The new strategy enshrines a zero-sum mentality: “Protecting American interests requires that we compete continuously within and across these contests, which are being played out in regions around the world.” This is the hallmark of Mr. Trump’s nationalistic, black-and-white “America First” strategy.

You shamelessly, repeatedly lied to the nation to protect Obama from the consequences of leaving Americans to fight & die alone in #Benghazi.

You have NO moral authority & NO right to lecture anyone after you & Obama did everything you could to weaken & endanger our country.

Yes, gone are the days when a badly made "internet video" (so we're told by masters of the universe) can trigger a world made more sensitive by our former President, Ra the Sun God. Missing him so much. https://t.co/uPsNbAxQQZ

Thank you for reminding us what a disgrace you were in representing America at the UN, and especially your diabolically deceitful performance on Sunday morning shows to explain Benghazi attack. https://t.co/eCtE2S76lK

Apologizing is not leadership. https://t.co/8SqCqNvgrU

The Obama administration's "moral authority" = funding Iran's murder around the world and protecting their terrorism wing. https://t.co/RU4cajqgcj

The Obama administration actively and eagerly strengthened the leading state sponsor of terror in the world. Maybe sit this one out. https://t.co/dG0wZm9CK9

Hey, look who else joined the party … Ben “Iran Deal” Rhodes. Great.

The Iran Deal rolled back the Iranian nuclear program. Meanwhile, nothing since 1979 has strengthened Iran more than the decision to invade Iraq, installing a friendly, Shia-led government next door. https://t.co/aTcul1pzsu

You forgot the part where you withdrew from Iraq, leading Iran to essentially take over the country wholesale and helping create ISIS-stan. https://t.co/DbqHhQxMX7

Good advice for both Rice and Rhodes:
