Public Notice: Trump has united the free world against a grave threat

Public Notice - Trump has united the free world against a grave threat

It's coming from inside the White House.

Stephen Robinson
Mar 13, 2025



In his own twisted way, Donald Trump has become a unifying figure. He’s more politically divisive than ever, but his outright attacks on liberal democracy everywhere have managed to rally America’s traditional allies against a common threat — one he sees when he looks in the mirror.

After the shameful Oval Office ambush of President Volodymyr Zelenksyy, Trump announced he was suspending aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine, thus aiding in Putin’s project of subjugating his neighbor. (Trump has since walked those measures back.) He escalated his trade war against Mexico and Canada, our closest trading partners, and incessantly talked about making Canada “the 51st state.” He told Congress he’s going to “get” Greenland “one way or the other,” then effectively killed NATO by announcing he’s not committed to defending America’s NATO allies.

REPORTER: Are you gonna make it US policy that the US wouldn't defend NATO countries that don't pay their fair share?

TRUMP: Well, I think it's common sense. If they don't pay I'm not gonna defend them. No, I'm not gonna defend them.

All of that took place in the span of a single week, but Trump’s actions aren’t just random idiocy. They form a pattern of outright hostility and mounting aggression toward America’s closest friends.

He needs to be isolated, shunned, ignored, and ridiculed as much as possible out there in the real world (as opposed to the upside-down one where we live). I just hope that those other nations are well aware that the majority of American citizens abhor the man and want him and his dickhead companion gone. His aggression is not just directed toward America’s closest friends, but Americans themselves.

I also believe that six months from now there will be considerably fewer trumpers in this country. We may never be united again but we will be on the same side.

Make him a pariah that only the North Korean, Russia and Saudi Arabia invites him. It a company he fits in with autocrats and evil people.
