To every Trump supporter calling me a traitor because I’m “rooting” against my own country: When my own country is on the wrong side in a fight for freedom, sovereignty and democracy, I will root against my own country. Every single time. If that makes me a traitor, so be it.

Some have disappointed, some have bad policy, some made big mistakes. But I’ve never in my life been ashamed of American leaders. Until today.

The goal is to terrorize federal workers into quitting. That’s it. Constant changes. Canceling work from home then closing offices. Laying off probationary employees. It’s designed to break the government. Then privatize it for profit. It’s not efficiency. It’s collapse. Only peasants will suffer.

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.
