He’s selling out Ukraine. He’s selling out Europe. He’s selling out the free world. He promotes war criminals. He threatens political enemies. He weaponizes the justice department and protects an all-time scandalous pedophile ring. He’s sending the economy to a chop shop to aid the rich. He must go.
