Vladimir Putin is a war criminal. He's responsible for killing over 150,000 Ukrainians — including more than 15,000 civilians — and the murder of political opponents & dissidents.   Witkoff & Trump's bootlicking is an embarrassment to our country.

Trump is all in on Putin. Explain to me why anyone can trust Trump with anything, like say your vote. If you vote Republican, you are enabling a traitor to continue tearing the free world apart.
