HOLY SHIT - Message from Canadian Ham Radio Guy to Americans

[orangecrush]

This guy is an amateur radio operator/repair tech.

The kind of people I get on my radio and talk to daily

"For God's sake, somebody please put a stop to this man."




Thanks, Trump.

1. My grandfather loved radios all his life

He was a ham operator and inventor. He was also a radioman during WWII. It's a hobby I've thought of pursuing to better understand him.

[orangecrush]

2. It's not difficult.

Find an amateur radio club near you and talk to someone.

You don't have to spend a ton of money either.

$50 or so will get you on 2 meters with a handheld, which will enable you to use your local clubs repeater.

It's a great hobby/avocation, especially during emergencies

[momta]

41. Yup. Hubby and I are both hams.

We were practicing morse code on our honeymoon thirty-three years ago. We both passed the test the next year. I learned a lot just studying for my license.

[orangecrush]

81. ...

[thinkingagain]

78. Thanks for the good idea

I’m gonna try to dig around and see if there’s one in my area

[orangecrush]

79. Good luck!

[SheltieLover]

105. I'm thinking about trying to pursue this

Just in case the assholes interrupt internet service.

Ty for sharing! I had no idea how to look into it.

[orangecrush]

112. Most welcome

Actually, it was the method the French Underground used to communicate with the Allies in England.

"Radio operators played a key role in the Allied liberation of France during World War II. They were parachuted into France to link up with the Resistance and provide a vital link between the Allied command and resistance fighters.
Radio operators in France
Georges Bégué: The first SOE agent to parachute into France in 1941
Noor Inayat Khan: A radio operator for the SOE who was arrested by the Gestapo in 1943
Jedburgh teams: Radio operators who parachuted into France from June to September 1944
Radio operations in France
Radio Londres
Broadcasted to the Resistance, including the first stanza of Paul Verlaine's poem "Chanson d'automne" shortly before the D-Day landings
Allied underground radio operators
Were ruthlessly pursued by the Germans and had a life expectancy of six months
Radio operators and the Resistance
The Germans had a particular interest in turning radio operators who could compromise an entire Resistance network
To avoid capture and torture, the ideal for an agent was to set up, transmit, dismantle, and get away within a maximum of 20 minutes "

[SheltieLover]

114. Wow! Quite impressive!

Ty for sharing.

Communications are always disruped first during wars...

Maybe I can get adult gs interested in this hobby. He's quite techie.

Ty again for sharing!

[orangecrush]

115. The story of Noor Inayat Khan is quite sad

She was literally Indian royalty, a gentle soul who wrote children's books.

She was captured, tortured and died in a concentration camp.

14. I share my grandfather's love of radios.

My second grade teacher noticed my fascination with radios and electronics and gave me a copy of "The boys' first book of radio and electronics" from her own library.

https://archive.org/details/boysfirstbookofr00morg

I've been building and experimenting with radios ever since. My grandfather supplied me with parts.

Obtaining an amateur radio license doesn't compel you to hang out with the MAGA old men who spend there days recalling some glorious past that never existed.

[SheltieLover]

33. Awesome about you sharing your grandpa's love of radios

And what a wonderful teacher you had!

[xmas74]

66. I tried joining a local club 20 years ago

But they were exactly the kind of men I didn't want to be around. The current leader drives around a truck covered in Infowars stickers and claims Alex Jones was railroaded.

[hunter]

77. Most amateur radio activity these days is on the internet, it's international...

... and you don't have to suffer whatever MAGA fools make your local amateur radio community look ugly. My own local community is largely engineering nerds who are disinterested in politics, sometimes frustratingly so, the sorts of people I imagine sitting out this last presidential election. They are serious about leaving religion and politics out of the conversation.

My radio socializing happens mostly on the internet. For me that doesn't take away the thrill of actual radio communications.

Look at Jim in this video. He can pursue radio contacts all over the world yet there he is on YouTube.

[orangecrush]

89. Thank you!

I have seen the book discussed elsewhere

Appreciate your sharing your experience!

[sinkingfeeling]

3. He's 100% correct.

[ElementaryPenguin]

4. Wow!

The disgust with Trump's America is so very real!!!!!!

[orangecrush]

5. This actually

.brought tears to my eyes.

Hams from all over the world are friends and generally don't let politics put a damper on goodwill.

[CanonRay]

8. My wife is in Brussels

and she is getting an earfull.

[orangecrush]

9. As Jim said

He doesn't think we can stop this.

[DFW]

46. I'm there once a week

And I speak both French and Flemish. So I get both ears full.

[orangecrush]

92. It has to be hard

To hear it.

It was hard to watch this video.

[DFW]

104. I've had plenty of training

Cheney-Bush, Larded Cargo’s first term, e.g.

[orangecrush]

110. I'd take two Chimpys

.over this monster

[Amaryllis]

70. Do most of them understand that so many of us feel terrible about all this? The cruelty?

[orangecrush]

93. We will be judged

Probably similar to Germany after WW2 at this rate

[bdamomma]

72. I bet

she is. They are saying how ignorant (excluding present DU'ers) we are.

[orangecrush]

12. "The U.S. has become a predator"

[BonnieJW]

18. We are the prey too

It's our jobs and money they're stealing

[orangecrush]

19. He said the same

Your institutions are being destroyed.

[CanonRay]

6. KG7WYP

Thats me.

[orangecrush]

10. 73

[mitch96]

83. 73's from 4 land... .- .-.

[orangecrush]

94. 73

From 3 land!

[Wounded Bear]

7. Sorry he feels that way, but I can't blame him at all...

[orangecrush]

11. As he said

A lot of people are going to get hurt.

Americans and Canadians

[Mike 03]

13. Really sad, but he's 100% right and more honest than many of our pundits.

Been listening to the CBC and the Canada Talks talk station on SiriusXM all week and there has been a shift.

Monday and Tuesday, nearly every person who spoke about the tariffs was careful to say that Trump was doing this, not the American people--because they still wanted to believe in our goodness. But for some reason--maybe the initial shock has given way to seething rage--that distinction was absent this morning in the programs I listened to.

The Canadians on those stations have begun to just lump us all together. It's "the Americans" doing this to us. It's "America." They are not wasting any time drawing a distinction between Trump, or the Trump administration, and all of us.

It's horrific what this tyrannical degenerate is doing to our alliances and reputation.

[orangecrush]

23. This hit me hard

Because it is completely reasonable, an outsider view of what we have become.

[Ilsa]

40. I figured it would change soon, but not this quickly.

They saw roughly 250 people cheering the orange menace on Tuesday night.

[Wednesdays]

57. In World War II, German and Japanese civilians of all kinds were killed in bombings

It didn't matter whether they supported Hitler and Tojo, or not.

[ruet]

15. I Agree With Him 100% But,...

I used to listen to radio all the time with my RTL-SDR and in 99% of the conversations I picked up the operators were Trumpers. It was either gear talk or "Biden's a communist". It's why I stopped listening. It's mostly a wasteland.

[orangecrush]

20. A lot of U.S. operators, yes.

The "Parks On the Air" guys tend to be liberal environmentally aware people, and there are several liberal operators in my area

Some bands are notorious for MAGATs, particularly the 80 meter band around 7.2 mHz.

I don't listen to them.

[groundloop]

63. 7.2 MHz is in the 40 meter band

But nitpicking aside, yeah, there's a large number of older white men in ham radio and a lot of them are magats. It used to be taboo to talk politics on the radio but the magat cult has blown that convention out of the water.

[ruet]

69. Man, This Topic is Making...

want to se my rig back up. I think I'm going to hold off and set it all up a a cabin I frequent during the summer months.

[orangecrush]

95. Sounds like a blast!

[orangecrush]

75. You are correct

Got my frequency wrong.

But that is the frequency where a group of "sad hams" hang out.

[orangecrush]

80. From Reddit

"I tuned there a week ago and they were also broadcasting Trump speeches. It was pretty fun to listen to for a while, but yeah a lot of illegal stuff happens on 7200. Just give them some room, we'd rather have them all bottled up on 1 frequency than all over the bands."

[groundloop]

116. That frequency is also good for tuning up radios and amplifiers

Because you know you won't be interfering with any meaningful conversation.

[Duppers]

16. Keep an eye on the Market

We may be in for a big depression ❗

[orangecrush]

21. World wide.

[Callie1979]

52. I went 1/2 cash few weeks ago. At 62 that seems like a good place to be

Until one of Musk's "bullet points" finds home.

[Johonny]

85. Me too.

I just couldn't see anything positive economically. Trump is making no demands. There is no reason for these tariffs other than to destroy America. This is an implosion.

[arthritisR_US]

99. No it won't destroy America because the 1% will be fine😖

[Callie1979]

109. The plan is to get "regular" folks to bail. Then the billionaires will BUY

He threatens tariffs to tank the market. Then he'll back off the tariffs which will bring the market back. Thats when his buddies jump I and make MORE billions.
Although Elon has lost over 100 billion since December.

[Keepthesoulalive]

130. What they are doing is irrational

Please stop believing these people are smart, they are just connected. The Great Depression wiped out a lot of the rich. There will be very few economic survivors.

[Joinfortmill]

17. Made me weep.

[orangecrush]

22. Same.

It was like hearing someone pleading for sanity with 1939 Germany.

[AllaN01Bear]

24. get off yer duff and get your techition license .

as many people have said ,find a ham club , a friend of mine took his during covid online .

[orangecrush]

27. Got mine in '97

Bill Clinton was President.

[AllaN01Bear]

32. got min in 2009, gasp

went to a ve site and passed . met one of my best friends kb6uui and wife n6zln. uui died in 20212 unbenowt to me

[orangecrush]

36. Sorry for your loss

It's a tight knit community.

[PortTack]

25. We all wish for it everyday....

[orangecrush]

29. Fervently

[SheltieLover]

26. Kick

[orangecrush]

28. Thanks

[Wild blueberry]

30. He's correct

Good sir, you speak for all of us.
Thank you.

[GoCubsGo]

31. Yup. It's like having Commander Queeg, only WAAAAAY worse.

He's never going to demand who took the strawberries, because he's probably never had produce cross his disgusting cat anus lips. But, his lunacy will be exponentially worse, as it already is. And, no Captain Keith or Lt. Marek in sight. Only an entire party full of Lt. Keefers.

[orangecrush]

37. Pretty much that's it.

[Paladin]

44. My compliments on the fine usage of a classic Naval war movie.

Makes me think of the ending, with Fred MacMurray's character taking that well-deserved splash of champagne in the face. Plenty of present-day trump ass-kissers who deserve the same scornful treatment.

[Aristus]

64. I played Lieutenant Maryk in a local production of TCMCM about thirty years ago.

The point of the play, and the novel, is that Queeg wasn't really the bad guy. No matter his incompetence, he was regular Navy before and during the war, when everyone else was "living their free little non-Prussian careers". Lt Kiefer was the bad guy, for roping Maryk into a mutiny.

Trump isn't Queeg. Trump is Caligula.

[Solly Mack]

34. ...

[allegorical oracle]

35. Your radio discussion cracked me up. Many years ago I babysat often for a neighbor. She

had both a piano and an organ in her living room and said I could play them after the kids were in bed. One evening, left the organ to go check on the children. All of a sudden a man's voice was coming from the living room. Scared the tar out of me. The voice was coming though the speakers of the organ.

My neighbor explained later that it happened often -- was a ham radio operator in our area.

What would've caused that? Some frequency sync?

[orangecrush]

38. Running too much power

Without the required RF filters would do that.

Most hams are very careful about that as no one wants pissed off neighbors.

Also you can get fined for creating interference.

A lot of times CBers using illegal linear amplifiers are the culprit.

[c-rational]

39. K&R Thanks you for postng this orangecrush. 100% agree - great explanation of what is

happening. He nails it when he says he is not sure if the American people can stop this, and that is leading to so much unease.

[orangecrush]

42. It's like someone pleading

With pre WW2 Germany to stop Hitler.

[Aaeia]

43. 🇨🇦 What he said 🇨🇦

[Mr. Mustard 2023]

45. Trump is aligned with evangelical "Christians".

Christians don't stop and narcissists don't stop. I don't know the answer except enough of the people rise up & tell Republican leaders to stop this madman. The only way I see the dipshit losing is 80% of Americans are in their faces, every where, every day. I'm not sure about anything however.

[Evolve Dammit]

47. He is right. The world wonders WTF we can't remove a convicted criminal coup dicktator??

[orangecrush]

49. Rude Pundit said something similar

It's Goddamn pathetic.

[dixiegrrrrl]

48. Hope you will share more of his comments. n/t

[orangecrush]

50. This is 4 hours ago.

It isn't political, it's his normal thing.

Which imo makes his statement even more powerful.

This isn't a man who speaks lightly.

?si=QDKzu8nSLbGMlHv2

[wordstroken]

51. His message is so true -- and excruciatingly sad.

[Ocelot II]

53. This made me want to cry.

[orangecrush]

60. Same

[spanone]

54. K&R

[orangecrush]

58. Thanks

[barbtries]

55. my dad did that.

but he died when I was 13 before I learned anything beyond SOS

[orangecrush]

61. Sorry for your loss

Morse code is no longer required for a license.

[birdographer]

56. My exact words for a very long time...

Wish he had given some suggestions as to how.

[orangecrush]

62. He doesn't think

We can do it.

[MontanaMama]

129. I don't know if we can do it.

I want so badly to believe in American exceptionalism and I fear it is gone.

[paleotn]

59. In any manner possible.

[bluestarone]

65. KICK!

This deserves a thousand kicks

[MustLoveBeagles]

67. I can't disagree with anything he's saying 😔

[pansypoo53219]

68. the nimrom has a time limit + judicial leash. he was be cuffed + he will lose everything in 2026.

[bdamomma]

71. The man

is correct, we have become the enemy because of this stupid unstable criminal thug, and we are now Putin's toys.

We do have to stop this. People are going to get hurt or worse. I will not make known what should be done to this pathetic SF. I bet many of us feel this way.

[Marcuse]

88. Truth.

[Hope22]

73. Par for the course.

No concept that people have been working since the Patriot Act to stop the madness here. I’m sorry for his pain. We all feel it. For years I have been telling my Canadian friends to watch out. The QAnon/ MAGAs were a global group and Canada had them too ….nope, they said couldn’t effect them but yet the bridges were blocked and pickup trucks with Maple leaf flags had been building in the country. They lifted nose and said it could never happen there. It was the Americans fault…United States problem. Until……this monster regained the WH and he started telling everyone what he was going to do. Canadians woke up in a big fat hurry. Who knows what another ten years of Q would have done up there. I am happy that Canadians have the politicians in place to guide them through this. They have pulled together. By standing strong with other nations around the planet the message may get through to Washington! This may be our last hope.

I’m so pleased that this man can say all of this with such bravado. Feel good about yourself sir. But I have to ask if you found a raped teenager in a ditch would you tell her to quit her crying, pull up her pants and track that guy who did that and put him out? Many people have been trying to stop the madness here but it is beyond the pockets of most of us. Half of this country does not deserve to hear your story sir. My best to you. Stay safe and live to tell how you told people off who already knew they were on a trail that more than likely would end in disaster.

[orangecrush]

76. It sounded more to me like

Someone begging Germans in 1939 to stop Hitler.

[Hope22]

84. Yes, exactly!

Most of my Canadian friends feel as this guy does. Only one has cried over what has happened here but he has worked through the fear and anger. He wasn’t much for Trudeau in the past but is so proud the way the Canada is working to protect country and citizens. He understands that things may have been different for his country without this huge wake up call!

[arthritisR_US]

101. As a Canadian what you say is so spot on. My daughter and

I saw those fecking truck strips and knew the Maga’ts were in the “brains” of other “fellow” Canadians. Stupid doesn’t need a country just the internet’s numerous lying leading sites.

[Hope22]

107. I'm hoping that your unity holds.

The global map of QAnon is frightening! We took baby steps with the Tea Party and then it blistered wide open with MAGA. It is impossible to break the code in their brains. As Canadians witness disaster down here hopefully it will leave a lasting impression. This is not a trip you want to take. It is devastating. Take care. My best to you and yours. 💗🙏🏼

[Quixote1818]

74. K and R

[orangecrush]

82. Thanks

[halobeam]

86. I have a ton of emotions going on right now

It isn’t just one man to stop.
It isn’t all Americans that brought this on.
He doesn’t believe we can fix this. I get that, not at the rate we are seeing right now. More and more Americans are waking up and I believe, so many more will.
No one knows, no one REALLY knows how this will end. If we all believed what this man believes -that we can’t fix this, we would not be doing all we can to do so.

We ARE doing all we can, and we are growing, and strength lies in numbers.

So, I am going to keep fighting, I am going to have a bigger tent for those who wake up, however late. BUT - they need to decide to become part of the solution and for those that do, we need to recognize when they are willing to do exactly that, and let them in. That is going to make a world of difference!

More people did not even vote, than those that voted for trump.
More people didn’t vote than those who voted for Harris.

So, what do we do with that?
My guess is we aim to reach for those who are regretting their trump vote and for those who didn’t vote at all.
How?
Perhaps by forgetting the divisive rhetoric in social media, the resentment toward those who regret and truly feel betrayed by the lies, and also toward those who didn’t vote that regret it and learned their voice actually does matter - that their silence was a vote in itself.

Perhaps we Incorporate bulleted facts and bulleted solutions in our messaging toward them —

-SPEND EQUAL time addressing THESE People, as we spend with what we are saying now.

We can not afford to ignore these other Americans for one more minute.
-Most absolutely not in our airtime when we get it.
-Not in our speeches when we give them.
-Not in our town halls when we have them.
-NOT in our never-ending podcasts andinterviews
-Most definitely NOT in our abundance of YouTube shows!

But of course, it’s just my opinion, and a mere fraction of the thoughts and feelings I’m having (and I’m aware that I’m not alone).

[orangecrush]

91. Thank you.

[halobeam]

108. Thank you back...

I appreciate your response to my "out-pour", my rant! I realize at some point I might have to get it all this shit out. It's so much to absorb. In hindsight, I could have gone on way longer, but it's really a challenge to process the sheer volume of incoming madness. It takes time to accurately express a thought.

Sometimes I begin a response in a thread, andi I wind up never posting it because frankly my head is spinning half the time. I'm sure it's happening to most of us.

I'm so grateful for this community, I never feel alone here. There are countless times I read threads and there's always someone who will verbalize exactly what I'm feeling and it helps me clarify some of what is going on inside me. I truly value that amongst so much more.

100. ""but for god's sake, somebody put a stop to this man" (trump)

no shit.

this video is so sad; it truly resonates. the comments on youtube are so supportive of him, of canada & with many american voices so frightened. and angry. and frightened.

thank you for posting this. i reposted in a couple places on fb.

[orangecrush]

117. Most welcome

And thank you.

[Meowmee]

96. What is happening is terrible, I would completely understand if they never trust the US again along with others

Last edited Thu Mar 6, 2025, 11:43 PM - Edit history (1)

As a duel citizen born in Canada, I feel for him and people there. I think he should acknowledge though that just under half the people in the US (of those who voted and who were not suppressed etc. )did not for vote any of this and we are not to blame for it. Canada has its own fair share of right wingers too. The system there I believe though and in the UK would not allow for such a person to rise to power. And there is a way to get rid of anyone like that pretty quickly, especially in the UK.

I think Canada is strong and will prevail over this insanity. Last I heard orange psycho has reversed the tariffs again? I hope so.

My brother got a radio I think 3 years ago... he was talking with people in different countries but he has not used it much since then.

[orangecrush]

118. Thank you

[SunSeeker]

97. Heartbreaking. A decent man, incredulous at what Trump has done to his country and the world.

He is absolutely correct. The trust is gone...and will not be regained in our lifetime.

[orangecrush]

119. Project 2025

Is in full swing.

[3catwoman3]

98. This is so sad, so embarrassing...

…and so totally unnecessary.

[orangecrush]

121. Six weeks

To do this much damage.

[LudwigPastorius]

102. Of course other countries don't trust us.

I don't trust us.

[orangecrush]

120. Not anymore.

[BlueKota]

103. I have an issue with this

There are a great many of us who didn't vote for tsf, and who are just as pissed of as the guy in the video is about what's being done. Some of us are aware of how bad things are and they're going to get worse. We do care because we are losing our country to the shit head and his cult.

I remember on Twitter before Muskrat took over. A Russian woman who loved to chat about American TV posted "I hope people don't hold all Russian's responsible for Putin's actions". This was in 2017 so my reply was I won't as long as you don't hold all Americans responsible for Trump. She put a laughing emoji, and replied "I won't because a lot of you have made it very clear you didn't vote for him."

So this Canadian guy can be pissed at tsf, muskrat and the asshats that voted for them. Many of us share that anger, but don't lump us in with the scum who voted for tsf or talk like we are all to blame because a lot of us didn't vote for him.

[orangecrush]

113. If this continues on its present trajectory

Americans will be judged like the German people were after WW2.

There was resistance in Germany too, such as the White Rose, but the majority of Germans loved Hitler.

[Bev54]

128. He is angry at your country, who is raining chaos on Canada and the world. The people of US elected him

and you cannot deny that is 50% of your electorate. This great "democracy" has shown its impotence in the face of tyrannical leader that lied his way through to obviously ignorant and unengaged voters. I have watched people say well I voted for him for this and that, but not what he is doing now. Anyone with half a brain would have known what he would do if elected. I once thought maybe it was rigged but after listening to Americans that voted for him, I am just convinced there are a lot of really stupid people. If someone criticizes your country you cannot take it personally but you MUST acknowledge there is a very big problem and you are living with the results.

[BlueKota]

136. I get that he's angry at our government.

Hell I am angry at our government and those that voted for tsf. If you count the number of Harris voters, the people who were disenfranchised, and the percentage of people who didn't vote, however, it should be clear tsf was not given a mandate by all of us.

I do think people who didn't vote are partially responsible, and shouldn't be sparred some criticism, but if they were his rabid cult members who applaud everything he does, they would have voted for him.

Again I don't hold all Russian's responsible for what Putin does, or all Israeli's or Palestinians responsible for what their leadership does, or all Chinese people responsible for Xi's regime. To not even recognize there is a large number of people who oppose these regimes is giving an unfair and unbalanced assessment of the situations, and ignoring the pain and anger of people who are also innocent victims.

Also at least on social media there are plenty of Americans siding with and defending Canada.

Just my opinion, but I don't like it when people make generic assumptions about a large group of people, and lump them all together, or blame even the people who aren't responsible for the bad actions of others. Then again group punishment is a sore spot for me because of grade school, and a mother who was constantly blaming me for things I didn't do.

[North Coast Lawyer]

122. This Guy Gets It

We need more old people like this. People who have kept their minds sharp. People who age brings wisdom.

We need the polar opposite of old people who are Fox News and NewsMax junkies.

[SpankMe]

123. Trump is traumatizing people in other countries

Also, the following statements in this video are true and especially chilling:

"I don't think American people are really interested in what their government is doing. I also don't think American people can stop their government." (At 0:44.)

One main feature of our government from its founding has been our ability to change it. But a strong majority is required, and something strange is happening in that I don't see a majority bubbling to the surface and objecting to Trump's agenda. I don't know if it's fear, apathy, ignorance or that a true majority actually understands and agrees with these changes.

The first opportunity for change is the courts. That method has been underutilized and has yielded mixed results so far.

The next opportunity is the house and the '26 election. Our opposition voice must start now if we are to have a chance there.

But, we need an opposition to take the lead and give us an institution we can rally behind and build a critical mass. Standing up for what's right at an individual level won't cut it. The longer opposition to Trump stays as silent as it has been over the last 45 days, the worse things will get, and the harder it will be to stall this Nazi agenda.

[Justice matters.]

126. De Gaule was helped by PM Winston Churchill.

From abroad in London. He was alone in a small apt. but Churchill made sure he was given all the tools - radio transmitter, telephone, typewriter, et al - to organize "La Resistance" from afar. Europe should be the next "Democratic Resister" residence, it seems...

[the_liberal_grandpa]

124. Like the man said

"Somebody please put a stop to this man"

134. Soon.

125. For those who got sidetracked

From this mans message and on to ham radios I would also suggest you make sure you have a good working AM radio to find out what is happening should your internet and cell phone service go down

But the emotions are deep.

131. Being devils advocate here...The whole eight years of the George W. Bush administration...

proved that the American voter could not be trusted, and all it took was a bad presidential choice to upend everything again.

Anyone here remember how messed up America's reputation was back in the 2000s? And how relieved the world was when George W. Bush was gone that Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize?

135. Also being devils advocate

During the bombing of Dresden, there were probably a few people thinking "but I didn't support Hitler, I was too frightened to speak out".

138. Canadian speaking from the heart

I want to thank you sir for expressing your views regarding the danger of Donald Trump's road map to autocratic control of our previous democracy.

Using Project 2025 as their model, Trump and his sycophants are in the process of taking down the Constitution and replacing it with a dictator run government. From appointing totally unqualified cabinet secretaries to support from the spineless Republican congress and senate chamber. In just over a month,Trump has gleefully carried out Putin's orders. Ukraine is being forced into capitulation with Trump and Vance by the obvious set up in the oval office. This was the second time Trump has ambushed Ukraine, the first during Trump's first term when he threatened Zelenski of stopping $190 million in military and aid support unless Zelenski came up with dirt against Biden.

How many times have his claims been outright lies? Too many to count, the election was rigged, he will fix everything in 24 hours, nothing was fixed. The problem is the fact his MAGA morons keep getting taken by his non-stop conspiracy theories, perpetuated by the news media like Fox News, right wing radio, Russian propaganda, Podcasters, etc., etc.

Wake up America and pressure your weak Republican reps to resist his corrupt intentions and don't believe anything that either Trump or his supervisor Musk says. God save America.
