| Democracy is always an unfinished creation. | ||
| Democracy is worth dying for. | ||
| Democracy belongs to us all. | ||
| We are here in the sanctuary of democracy. | ||
| Great responsibilities fall once again to the great democracies. | ||
| American democracy is bigger than any one person. | ||
| Freedom and democracy must be constantly guarded and protected. | ||

We are still at our core a democracy. | |
| This is also a massive victory for democracy and for freedom. | ||
| President Trump, a little while from now, will address the U.N. General Assembly and here to talk about that and other related issues. | ||
| Alex Tarquinio of the publication Foreign Policy. | ||

Good morning. | |
| Thank you for having me. | ||
| It's an honor. | ||
| What does the president face this time around in his first term versus issues that he faced the last time around he was a president? | ||

Well, it's considerably more complicated this time, and I think I can say with a fair degree of confidence that the diplomats here are really waiting with bated breath to see what he says in his speech in just a few hours. | |
| He, you know, the first time around, Trump was obviously an unknown quantity. | ||
| You know, he hasn't spent his life in politics. | ||
| He was a businessman. | ||
| So, and I think he was also learning his way around the United Nations. | ||
| Now, it is also fair to say that on the other hand, he is a New Yorker, and so he was very familiar with the United Nations and that every September the city almost shuts down this final week of September with all the world leaders coming in. | ||
| So I think he does, on a personal level, perhaps enjoying the title. |
