Americans! You need to raise NOW! And I am not talking marches of protest. I am talking a revolution. What your president just tweeted is nothing less than Hitler's statement before he became what he did. If you don't stop these people now, it will be too late for you. #Nonazi #nofascism

Trump is joining Putin in ripping off the natural resources of Ukraine and selling the country, its people, Europe and any idea of democracy down the river. Wake up US - You have a dictator in the making and it is only you, the people of US that can stop it. We will support you!
