Dalai Lama says Trump has a 'lack of moral principle'
https://www.alternet.org/2019/06/dalai-lama-says-trump-has-a-lack-of-moral-principle-and-explains-why-america-first-is-wrong/?utm_source=&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=415snip of article:
During an interview with the BBC’s Rajini Vaidyanathan, the Dalai Lama weighed in on everything from Donald Trump’s presidency to Brexit — and the Tibetan spiritual leader clearly isn’t a fan of Trump’s isolationist views.
“When he became president, he expressed, ‘America first.’ That is wrong,” the Dalai Lama told Vaidyanathan. “America, they should take the global responsibility.”
The Dalai Lama also described the U.S. president as scatterbrained, saying that his “emotions” are a “little bit too complicated.”
“One day, he says something,” the Dalai Lama said of Trump. “Another day, he says something.” And he added that Trump suffers from a “lack of moral principle.”
Even the Dalai Lama has something to say about Trump.
