My thoughts and prayers are with the families of those killed and wounded, and all the people of Belgium. -H

These terrorists seek to undermine the democratic values that are the foundation of our way of life. They will never succeed. -H

Our hearts break for the men and women of Brussels this morning. Make no mistake -- these terror attacks are no isolated...

Donald Trump:
Do you all remember how beautiful and safe a place Brussels was. Not anymore, it is from a different world! U.S. must be vigilant and smart!

President Obama looks and sounds so ridiculous making his speech in Cuba, especially in the shadows of Brussels. He is being treated badly!
