If America will not stand against evil, then who will? America is the hope of millions, without hope, there is little to fight for.

History’s portrait of humanity, is less than flattering; since the beginning, mankind has been locked in a struggle to survive. The war between good and evil rages on. Evil exists throughout the world and is getting worse; it must be controlled. The United States normally plays a significant role in that process.
Kim was able to talk Trump into visiting his country for a warm embrace, during a summit meeting with America's allies. Kim turned the tables on Trump, the photo opportunity elevated him in the eyes of his people and did nothing to boost Trump's popularity. His actions aided in Kims control of his people and boosted his respect among America's enemies. I would ask Trump why he is helping the bad guys and hurting the good people? In most of the photos, Kim dominates the frame. It is obvious, in photos with, other, world dictators, Trump cowards down and looks like a schoolboy admiring a school yard hero.
Donald Trump asks Jong-Un for an American citizen, Otto Warmbier, who was falsely imprisoned there, in 2016, to be returned to the U.S. Un said no problem, you’re welcome to him; we will send him back so you will look good to your subjects. I hope no one notices he is in a coma and will soon die.
Trump's relationship with Jong-un and Putin is a disgrace. it's a slap in the face to every American, fighting for a free democracy. Trump has embraced Kim Jong-un and Vladimir Putin, two of America’s biggest threats. He admits to getting beautiful letters from Kim and he accepts the word of Putin over his own intelligence agencies.
The Democrats asked pertinent questions, while the Republicans asked questions defending Barr’s’ actions. I’m not interested in pointing fingers, any entity out to harm America, must be held accountable. No matter the perpetrators, national affiliation, (emphasis on trader) they must be stopped. My main interest is in defending our nation, and its democracy. Watching Barr squirm, under sensitive Democratic, questioning was worth the time watching it. We should take note of, senator Blumenthal’s questions, about the phone call to Muller. Barr called Muller for clarification on the letter Muller sent him. Muller was concerned Barr’s summery of the investigation was misleading to the public; he was correct. Barr is under pressure for, lying to Congress, by not telling them about the letter.
The price of the Harley Davidson, almost went up $6000. The White House imposed sanctions on steel coming from China; Harley-Davidson was forced to move to Indonesia or raise prices. Jobs were lost; we will have to see how the trade wars work out. The short term seems to be hurting consumers and farmers as much as China. We are very limited in the information we obtained so we can only go by what we hear, read and see. From where I’m sitting, things are looking pretty bad!
Trump said that Iran and Russia hate Isis too, “let them kill Isis; “there are three things wrong with that statement. One, they kill innocent men, women, and children, two, they hate America and three, when the region is controlled by people who hate America, then it will no longer be America first, in Syria. To the victors go the spoils. Trump said there’s a lot of sand over there, did he forget there is a lot of oil over there too. What did America get by pulling out? Trump gets to say he brought our brave, fantastic, terrific young people home. He said we defeated Isis; that was true until earlier this week. It took less than one week for Russia to take over where we left off. Isis soldiers are escaping and fighting alongside our, united nations allies, how is that defeating Isis?
If it can’t be proven it didn’t happen, it’s only a theory. Here then is a theory; that may very well have happened. Without Russian influence, events of the last three years would not have occurred. Russia would not have control of Syria, Turkey would not have annexed a large piece of it, there would not have been a resurgence of Isis there and Assad would not be in the, offensive, position he is now in. Iraq’s position has been improved while The Unit Nations has been weakened. The Kurds would not have been displaced, and forces against Assad would not be retreating. The battle between good and evil was lost in Syria, in one week, because Trump made a horrific decision.
When the 2016 presidential election arrived, Putin was ready, and so was Trump. The Muller report proved that the Russian, influence was real, no hoax. Putin’s horse came in first, and he was off to the races. It was obvious to, most, Americans the wrong person, was elected. Trump took to Government, like a duck takes to fire; he was terrible at it. Careless and costly mistakes were made, chaos in the White House ran rabid, and cabinet members were leaving at a record pace. The Democrats and Republicans would not work together; little got done. Trump managed to turn enemies into friends and allies into foes. He got out of good deals and into bad ones. This president is great to our adversaries and is killing America.
The balance of power is there for a reason, one person can not take, complete, control of the government. House Speaker Pelosi asks Trump, if he has a plan, for Syria; not answering the question he called her, "a third rate politician," she gave a strong response and left the meeting. In my opinion, she held up the wrong finger.
No one has said that he was innocent, they only question the process. The White House refused to cooperate with the investigation; they do not seek the truth. His Republican defenders are scrambling for ways to defend him. Their strategy makes no sense, those who defend him are putting politics before the country.
Trump said it himself about one of his opponents. "If he has nothing to hide why hide it?" He ordered everybody who works under him, not to cooperate with congress. The far right radicles, are muddying the waters, it worked on the Muller investigation it could work for them now. Two problems, brave patriots and legistrators.
"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer," has been taken to a whole new level by Trump. Keeping your friends' close makes sense, but why push away America's allies?
Terminating NAFTA pushed Mexico and Canada away, ignoring North Korean, missile testing, pushed away from Japan and other neighbors of the communist country. His tariffs created a trade war with China, and the U.K. and France have indicated frustration with U.S. policy, set by Trump. When will he start acting like a responsible leader? He has embraced Russian and North Korea's leaders who have been proven to be America's most dangerous adversaries.
Stop the madness, keeping your enemies closer, does not include warm embraces, handshakes, and visits to enemy countries. When a leader shows respect to an enemy, it makes the enemy stronger and the United States of America weaker. The world thinks all Americans are like their leader. I do not share Trump's sentiment, and I resent the respect and admiration he shows to murdering tyrants.
Trump's kind words and warm embraces did wonders for North Korea's' standing in the world. After Kim Jong-un played Trump for a fool, he met with Russia, China, and other Authoritarian governments for trade talks, and the devil knows what else. North Korea continues to test nuclear weapons, oppress its citizens, and torture its enemies without restraints or mercy. Not only does Trump do nothing, but he agrees with Jong-un and Putin's' ways of running things.
Trump warned, Kim Jung-un, (Rocket man), to stop testing nuclear weapons or he would cast fire and fury down on him; instead they exchange warm correspondence and handshakes in the tyrant’s own country. Jung-un not only continues to send up rockets but, has since built a submarine, capable of delivering them; Trump does nothing. Trump gravitates towards the wrong side of democracy, he makes friends of enemies and enemies of friends.
The bad guys are winning the war, and they are doing it with the help of the U.S government. America has always stood for human rights, and freedom for all, that is what the Constitution is all about. All U.S. presidents swear, to honor and defend the Constitution, to violate the oath is to break U.S. citizens. Our democracy is under siege by our adversaries, Mr.Trump is leading the charge. He is out in front, on his high horse, screaming to everyone, willing to listen, Trump first everyone else lasts. China, Russia, and North Korea are among those coming after us; they now have the upper hand. They are using Donald Trump for their gain, and America’s loss; where its leaders go, there goes the nation. Trump has aligned himself with the most ruthless dictators in the world.
