I am beginning to think Democrat Liberals are NOT Americans at all—They are, as some admit, Citizens of the world, not simply Americans. Their President is Zelenskyy in Ukraine. Or Dr. Fauci. Obama is their Founding father and Greta their pope. Trump is a fool con man who thinks he speaks for America. They speak for the WORLD GOVERNMENT. They would be pleased if the UN Ran things (as long as they could kick out Hitler-Putin and the backward Ruzzians).
