Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin says President Trump has taken "reckless" approaches to managing the U.S. economy and foreign affairs.

Slotkin: America wants change, but there is a responsible way to make change, and a reckless way.

Michigan invented the Middle Class: the revolutionary idea that you could work at an auto plant and afford the car you were building.

Donald Trump's actions suggest that, in his heart, he doesn't believe we are an exceptional nation.

He believes in cozying up to dictators like Vladimir Putin and kicking our friends, like Canada , in the teeth.

America 's democracy, our very system of government, has been the aspiration of the world, and right now, it's at risk.

President Obama promises to keep changing the country for the better.

He says he will do everything in our power to be the principled leaders that you deserve.

Obama : "I'm a student of history, and we've gone through periods of political instability before. Engaged citizens who do a little bit more than they're used to doing".
