So, no—we can’t say, “This isn’t who we are.” It is who we are right now. The question is: are we going to stay this way? Are we going to let these people keep dragging us further into disgrace? Or are we finally going to wake up, get angry, and do something about it?

Trump and his enablers have dragged this country into the mud, and yesterday’s spectacle was just the latest proof.

isn’t some accident. This isn’t a misunderstanding. This is the result of years of deliberate corruption, of selling out American values for personal gain, of treating democracy like a game where only the rich and ruthless win.

A nation that mocks the brave while bowing to tyrants. A nation that once fought against fascism, only to now embrace it with a smirk and a handshake.

Yesterday, in the Oval Office, Donald Trump and J.D. Vance showed the world exactly what America has become under their leadership: a nation that spits in the face of its allies and cozies up to its enemies.

This is what happens when cowardice is rewarded, when liars are given power, and when too many people look the other way instead of standing up.

I wanted desperately to say, “This is not who we are. This is not who we will be.”However, we can’t hide behind the illusion that “this is not who we are” anymore—because it is who we are. This is what we’ve become.

But make no mistake: Trump and Vance do not speak for all of us. Real Americans don’t turn their backs on allies. Real Americans don’t side with tyrants. And real Americans don’t stomach the kind of disgraceful, self-serving garbage we saw yesterday.

We don’t stand for what’s right anymore. We stand for whatever makes Trump feel powerful and whatever keeps his enablers in his good graces.

Think about what that means. The country that once led the fight against tyranny, that stood up to dictators and defended freedom, is now a nation that bullies the brave and grovels before the corrupt.

This wasn’t tough leadership. This wasn’t some grand strategy. It was weak, petty, and shameful. It sent a message loud and clear: that under Trump, America no longer stands with those who fight for democracy—we stand with their enemies.

They mocked a wartime leader, dismissed his people’s suffering, and in doing so, they disgraced all of us.

In a moment when the United States should have stood tall beside Ukraine, Donald Trump and J.D. Vance instead chose to belittle and humiliate Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a man who leads a nation fighting for its survival.
