remain secure.
I don't remember that being part of the Constitution.

It's not. What you quote doesn't claim that it is, either.
The federal government has (at least in theory) limitations imposed by the Constitution. Within those limitations, though, it can operate on any theory of foreign policy that it wants, including that of "core interests".

If the country’s “core interests” can be defined and redefined based on the whimsy and preference of the current administration, then for the Trump administration to suggest that a certain thing will “always” be in the core interests of the country is ridiculous. The next administration will have their own core interests. Also, what a waste of resources that is.

Expand on your point, lest you simply appear to be lazily coasting on mildly popular sentiment, without effect.

He's quoting TFA... If that's "coasting on mildly popular sentiment" then the least you can do is accuse the proper party.
