Subject: Re: Trump Threatens Zelenski
Expressing pride in our country is easy

Not when the president of the United States so beclowned himself and brought shame on this country by his attempted humiliation of Zelensky. I say “attempted” because he failed in that effort, only bringing shame upon himself and the country that elected him.

You may recognize it or you may not, but today Trump drove a knife through the heart of the international order that we brought about 80 years ago, and paid for with the blood shed by 350,000 American soldiers.

Trump just killed it.

And that is shameful. He did it in our name. So permit me to be sad for the loss….not only for the international order as embodied in NATO, but also for the loss of the America I thought I knew.
