When Hitler took over countries in Europe, he did not start with gun registration and confiscation. He started with division of the people, setting one faction against the other. Then he silenced the free press. The only news citizens were allowed to hear came from his sources.

Donald Trump and some Republicans are now using the same strategy. If you do not think and act the way they believe then you are an enemy to the country and freedom.

A free press and free speech are as essential to our freedom as anything in the Second Amendment.

It says in the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag, “with liberty and justice for all” but many in our country do not believe this is true. They chose to make a peaceful, non-violent protest to bring attention to this injustice,”take a knee during the pledge.” Some in our country, including Donald Trump, wanted them punished for this protest, that stance is the real unpatriotic statement!

Donald Trump has so many financial ties to Russia, that he tries to hide, he is more of a Russian ambassador than an American president.

With the polar ice cap melting, Russia is claiming more territory with rich assets, that once belonged to the U.S. Are Trump and Republicans doing anything about it? Trump wants us so divided as a country and focused on Korea, that we ignore what Russia is doing.

Do you really believe Russia and China care if we have a war with Korea? Trump is egotistical and corrupt as anyone in Korea.
