The pastor of a Virginia church has asked God to give President Donald Trump wisdom to lead the country.
Retired Gen. Colin Powell and his wife, Alma, are"two people to really look up to," President Donald Trump said Sunday.
"We do want to preserve this heritage and this center's treasured legacy," said Trump, who was accompanied by his wife, first lady Melania Trump, the gala's honorary chairwoman."I also want to congratulate tonight's Lincoln Medal recipients, a man I have a lot of respect for, Gen. Colin Powell and his wife, Alma. And maybe even more respect for you, Alma."
Powell, a Republican, ended a 35-year career in the Army by becoming chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under President George H.W. Bush. Russell's career as a political humorist dates to the Eisenhower administration. Trump said Russell is"somebody I used to watch a lot.""This is an event that we hope to be here, what do you figure? Another six times, right?" he said.
