Trump said "Wise leaders always put their own people and the good of their own country first," this is incorrect. You cannot practice the 'golden rule' (do unto others) if you do not care about them. We achieve our maximum rights and freedoms when we care more about our neighbors rights than our own.

Yes, it was his speech at the UN in 2019, and the speech was probably written by Steve Miller.
I don't know that we should care "more" about our neighbor's rights than we do our own in every circumstance; but we should certainly, at a minimum, care equally. We may have languages, cultures, religions, and artificial borders that divide us--but we share a planet. The world would be a much better place if everyone did this and always considered the ramifications of their actions, locally and globally.

If you take the command of Jesus to love our neighbors as ourselves, then this must extend to everyone. Also, our maximum freedom can only be realized by making the rights and needs of others more important than our own. In a predatory society like ours this seems suicidal, but if human consciousness can be released and raised, then it would bring about a transformed society and world.
