Trump is trying - he's insulting and trying to tear down most of the most vital institutions we have. If enough americans follow him down that road, we're toast.

Just a guess, but he might have been referring to the rule of law - no man is above the law, independent judiciary, free press, judge a man by the content of his character, land of the "not terrified by 'others'", free trade, POTUS as a public servant, not as a professional kleptocrat, leading in science, technology and progress, ready to economically compete and beat the rest of the world - not wanting to run away and hide, believers in actual truth (not alternative "facts"), leaders of democracy and freedom worldwide . . . oh yeah, and not looking for a daddy in the WH to save us from the big bad world.
