First, a threat, a short delay before action then actual action. It's the only way Congress might feel threatened enough to act. This loon will not stop on his own, too many yes men and ladies.

End cooperation in the World Cup, threaten partipation in the Olympics, threaten the closure of American bases. Tax the hell out of all Tr*mp properties, begin Street maintenance at all of those properties. Cause delays on incoming flights. End cooperation in joint exercises. Pick any or all of the above. Sure it's harsh, but the majority of Americans will understand and will probably applaud you for it.

We truly are the ugly Americans, now. We don't seem to be able to get our sh*t together (Congress) so once again, we have to rely on the goodness of our European friends in a time of need.

When the MAGA's and non voters put this vile excuse for a walking, talking, non-thinking excuse of a human being in office, they made us a Russian satellite Nation.

If billionaires, law firms, the press, military leaders, Congress and some of the Judiciary don't stand up to him, what chance does the ordinary citizen stand against this demented fool with his army of arse kissing clowns. We sure could use some Ukrainian heart.

Historic. Of course, Trump put us here. Idiot who thinks he's a genius. God help us. surfered Jan 18 #1
