Trump and Vance abandoned America's founder's values in their treatment of Zelenskyy. We're in trouble, people. [View all]

For the first time in American history, a sitting President of the United States abandoned a fellow democratic world leader of a developing democracy at war with an avowed enemy of the United States. Delivering a litany of distortions, outright lies, and an especially false narrative invoking the name of former President Biden, Trump loudly proclaimed to the world that the ideals of George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and all of America's founding fathers are no longer honored or practiced by his Presidency.

Never before has the United States abandoned a country in which there were people who were committed to building a constitutional democracy, and bringing the kind of freedom we enjoy as Americans to a group of people whose history has never provided a place for them to experience this kind of freedom. But our current President only sees the world, and measures it, in terms of monetary value. Idealism is well beyond his grasp, unless it can be turned into something off of which to make a profit, and he's not above stealing even that from the American people for his own personal benefit.

The world watched that press conference today, which showed the President and Vice President of the United States cannot be trusted to tell the truth, are not honest men, and one is a weak sycophant, while the other is an insane egomaniac. They showed that the United States does not have competent leadership, a position that makes us extremely vulnerable to our enemies. Their blatant misrepresentation of the United States, especially the lies they told, borders on treason. The false narrative they spouted puts the United States and its diplomatic corp around the world, those that Musk hasn't fired yet, in grave danger.
