Trump and Vance are an EMBARRASSMENT and DISGRACE. It was absolutely shameful to watch them berate the President of another country. Let alone one of our allies!
Trump saying, “You’re either gonna make a deal or we’re out “is beyond disrespectful.
That’s not leadership—this is a power play with no regard for what’s really happening in the world.
President Zelensky, is literally fighting for his country’s survival!

I thought this country was built by
Europeans, escaping living under the rule of a King, to establish a New World governed by the people.
Currently we have a president who calls Himself.
Our King
If this is a joke,
I'm not laughing
