Trump is holding a knee on the neck of American Democracy, and the GOP is the three cops just watching it happen while protecting him.

Watching Trump preen in front of St. John’s, moments after he threatened to deploy the American military against the American people, with a bible held above his head, I remembered this quote, “when facism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross”

Compare the words, tone, & spirit of any previous President with the undignified, divisive, & hate-filled invective spewed by Mr. Trump. Until so-called “Republicans” put nation above party & condemn his vile rants, this crisis will only get worse & more dangerous for all.

Can you believe the world isn’t screaming about the fact that Trump talked to Putin about Mueller but refused to talk to Mueller about Putin? Which country is 45 loyal to? What oath did 45 take?

This is despicable. The Trump administration is not only ceding America’s role as a leader on the human rights of women, it’s actively working against those rights. We all have to work together to right this wrong and undo this damage. bbc.com/news/world-us-canada…

Terms that don't appear in Trump's address: liberty, equality, freedom (though "freedoms" used once), duty, Constitution, self-government.
