I can't imagine anyone caring much what Donald Trump says, and you failed to provide any direct quotes or context.
Have we lost our moral authority? Yes. It was becoming shakier and shakier for decades of putting brutal dictators into power, and supporting brutal and oppressive governments.
When we started torturing people, that cost us MUCH moral authority. We aren't in a moral position to criticize the human rights abuses of anyone else, when we are abusers ourselves.
I mean, how much credence would you give Jeffrey Dahmer's admonitions to behave?
Then we illegally, immorally, and against the will of just about every citizen of the world invaded a country for no real reason.
The way to regain it is to become a civilized country that is governed by the consent of the governed, and rule of law; abide by international law; and cease supporting the oppressors against the oppressed.
For a long time we used the excuse of fighting communism to support and commit atrocities; now we use the excuse of fighting terrorism.
We ARE terrorists. Terrorists have no moral authority with anyone but other terrorists (and only those who happen to be on the same side).

That is really hilarious! Imagine the biggest venture capitalist in the world saying such a thing. The only reason he is laughing is because of the relative ease he had in making his first billion dollars. Get real-It has nothing to do with moral authority.
