Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.

But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.

He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

The meanness of inviting someone to your house, only to berate them and then kick them out- it breaks every rule of hospitality in the world. It’s gross
You would not treat a guest in your home — even one you really didn’t like — the way Trump and Vance treated Zelensky today.

They take this seriously. (For each person who calls, 10x are thinking that.)
