The Ambassador is very knowledgeable
HEALTHCARE IS THE NUMBER 1 TOPIC IN THE UNITED STATES! Not the immigration distraction. Keep pushing for Single-Payer! Keep healthcare #1 in the news!

Time between Nov. 2024 to January 2025 was classy with no barrage of hate, details, conspiracies and lies! Jan. 06, 2025 duties were quietly done without an insurrection. The process leading up to January 20th was cordial – in fact, The White House provided the jet to fly âfamilyâ from FL to D.C on the 19th. Attendance at Jan. 20th event was done as expected and as 249 years previous times except in 2021. ALL done with class and dignity in very sharp contrast to 2021. We in the U.S. and people in all nations should RESIST Donald J. TRAMP!
Really ?
Trump is an actual menace to decent society. This must be taken with the utmost seriousness – in the same way we understand Putin to be a danger. Trump is less practiced, but no less mendacious or malicious. His inexperience as a statesman can be and has been used against him. This is only part of the danger. His greed and pettiness are other dangers. I could go on about this person. In my opinion, it is hard to overstate the ugliness and lack of character Trump has displayed throughout his repeatedly lawless adult life.
None sense!!! Trump was lied to about troop withdrawal from Syria!!!! And talking about fighting ISIS, who does the Ambassador think is in power now in Syria, if not affiliates of ISIS!!!! đ˘đ˘đ˘
I ask⌠how does one take another seriously when the otherâs histrionic behavior, narcissism, lack of empathy and, impulsiveness has those who worked with him and for him wondering?
Donald Trumpâs Administration – In Jan. 2017, Trump signed an Executive Order to expedite construction on the wall, but on Sept. 20 of that year, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra filed a lawsuit alleging that the Trump administration had overstepped its powers.
In June 2018, Trumpâs administration established an additional policy designed to separate parents from their children at the Mexican border. The judge ruled in favor of advocacy groups, placing an injunction on the administration. In an escalation of rhetoric, on March 31, 2019, former President Trump threatened to shut down the border with Mexico, effectively cutting off trade between the two countries.
Reported by Vanity Fair Magazine journalist Bess Levin in Aug. 2019, âUndocumented immigrants have also served another, lesser known but nevertheless vital function in the presidentâs life: providing cheap labor at Trumpâs businesses. And not just, like, in years past, or in the first few months of his presidency, but as ofâwhatâs that now?âtoday. Yes, itâs a tough job to foam at the mouth daily about people entering the country without going through the proper channels first, use it to justify separating families and sending people back to nations theyâve never knownâall the while relying on them to keep your golf clubs runningâbut somebodyâs got to do it!â
Then thereâs his threats to abolish birthright citizenship, which he cannot do unilaterally because it is enshrined in the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. This in addition to his rhetoric alarming immigrant rights advocates who are concerned about his mass deportation plans.
âWith phrases like âI could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and
shoot somebody and I wouldnât lose any votersâ, Donald Trump gives us a clue about his mental stateâ.
~ John Gartner, psychologist of John Hopkins University Medical School
The personality of Donald John Trump, with his ups and downs and tweets generates more than anything, mistrust. His unpredictability is a risk when it comes to a public figure when given too much power.
If the TrumpâUkraine scandal wasnât enough – a political scandal that arose primarily from the discovery of his attempts to coerce Ukraine into investigating his political rival Joe Biden and thus potentially damage Biden's campaign for the 2020 Democratic Party presidential nomination. And then blocked payment of a congressionally-mandated $400 million military aid package, in an attempt to obtain quid pro quo cooperation from Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy
Thereâs the rebuke he faced in 2022 from officials in both parties after calling for the âterminationâ of parts of the Constitution over his claims that the 2020 election was stolen.
Oh, I would be remised if I do not mention Project 2025 (also known as the 2025 Presidential Transition Project). A project said, aims to promote conservative and right-wing policies to reshape the federal government of the United States and consolidate executive power.
If Donald Trump was ever honest, it was when he said, âA failed and corrupt political establishment. The Washington establishment and the financial and media corporations that fund it exist for only one reason. To protect and in-rich itself.â
It has been reported that the worldâs five biggest tech firms each gave at least $1 million, either directly or through their chief executives, to Donald Trump's inaugural committee. Unbelievable!
What had the ruling classes, operating within secret societies offered Donald Trump to carry out their will under the âNovus Ordo Seclorumâ ?
The thoughts this man holds means that his personality could constitute a serious danger for every living being on the planet.
