    Donald Trump talked foreign policy today to the Center for the National Interest, a group formerly known as the Nixon Center. To scattered applause, he repeated attacks on the Obama Administration for weakening America's military. He also repeated the claim, familiar to crowds of supporters at campaign events, that he is the only person who knows how to fix what's wrong in America.

    Indira Lakshmanan covered foreign policy and politics for Bloomberg News, and recently wrote, "The Mystery of the Two Hillarys" for Politico magazine.
