Donald Trump’s address to Congress last night was not a presidential speech. It was an inappropriate hyper-partisan stump speech peppered with exaggerations, half-truths, and outright lies. Once again I felt embarrassed for my country.

Six weeks in and I think we have to face the cold hard truth, bolstered by the appalling spectacle yesterday in the Oval Office, that the president and his sycophantic minions, are staging a coup d’etat against the United States of America.

Today marks the third year of Russia’s attack against Ukraine. Now our president Donald J. Trump has turned his back on a sovereign nation and spewed lies against its president Volodymyr Zelensky. He has betrayed our European allies and NATO and climbed into bed with a brutal dictator.

It is almost unimaginable the history we are living through today. I am concerned about my family’s and my country’s future. A would-be Tyrant is overseeing the methodical destruction of the very foundations of American society.

I do NOT want Elon Musk and his Z-gen gang of zealots rifling through my or my family’s private information! Who knows what they have already accessed. They have unlawfully attacked the Treasury, IRS, Social Security Administration, and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid.

I am a retired physician. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is NOT qualified for Secretary of Health and Human Services. He has no training in medicine, public health, biomedical research, epidemiology, or infectious diseases. Vaccines save lives. Vaccines do NOT cause autism.
