An orange small-government uber-capitalist felon, by imposing severe government regulation on cross-border free enterprise, has pushed a whole nation of super(ficially)-socialist/anti-capitalists to "get their elbows up" in defense of free enterprise.

📌NOTE: Immediately after the vile attack on Zelensky by Putin's puppets Friday, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries should have called a joint press conference and explained to the American public the significance, heinousness and danger of that sickening surrender.
📌They should STILL be talking now.

I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore.

What is happening in the #UnitedStates today under @realDonaldTrump is what happened in the crumbling Soviet Union under Gorbachev & in Russia under Yeltsin.

Grows from nearly nothing to fill the whole world."
