It's a weird thing to root for America but against its president.
That's what happens when you elect a traitor.

In case you're wondering, authoritarians use this strategy of escalation to manufacture crisis, provoke outrage, then use the reaction to justify repression. It’s not about restoring order, it's about creating a spectacle of chaos they can claim only they can control.

Valleys are flooding just so Donald Trump could brag that he "turned on the water in California."
Planes are crashing just so Donald Trump could brag that he "trimmed the staff at the FAA."
