President Trump has abandoned our allies and our agreements. The president of the United States of America is no longer the leader of the Free World. Germany and France will have to assume that mantle, and Russia and China will fully exploit the situation to their maximum advantage.

Yet, the U.S. Congress continues to do nothing while President Donald Trump brings an end to the American era.

Lawmakers swore an oath when they became members of Congress. They must abide by it, and take action. America’s history is being written today.
