📢 The Hard Truth: Trump’s Agenda is Weakening America
When people show you who they are, believe them. Donald Trump has shown us, over and over, precisely who he is: a man obsessed with his own power and wealth, willing to sacrifice America's freedom

Trump's second term is no accident — it is an all-out assault on America, driven by the Party of Putin. Felon President Trump is isolating our nation, fueling division, and empowering authoritarian regimes. These are not random missteps. They are deliberate choices that weaken our nation, strip away our rights, and erode the very institutions that protect our freedom.
Every attack on our democracy, every betrayal of our allies, every policy of chaos leaves us more divided, more vulnerable, and more at the mercy of foreign dictators like Putin.
If we don't rise to stop the Party of Putin now, we risk losing everything.
Our security, democracy, and children's future depend on us standing together, speaking out, and fighting back — before it's too late.
The Hard Truth: Trump Is Putin's Asset and America's Ongoing Threat
When people show you who they are, believe them. Donald Trump has shown us, over and over, precisely who he is: a man obsessed with his own power and wealth, willing to sacrifice America's freedom and security to serve Vladimir Putin. Trump is no mere sympathizer — he behaves as a willing asset, pushing Putin's agenda while undermining our democracy from within.
Under Trump's leadership, the Republican Party has become the Party of Putin, trading loyalty to America for allegiance to authoritarianism. Their mission is no longer the rights of everyday Americans but the ruthless consolidation of power — even if it means abandoning allies, destabilizing global security, and advancing Russia's imperial ambitions.
The danger is not hypothetical. It is unfolding before our eyes.
Domestic: Trump Dismantles Stability at Home
Economic Pain from Tariffs - Rising costs are continuing to crush families and small businesses, gutting local economies, and straining household budgets.
Persistent Inflation - Tariff-driven price spikes are making essentials unaffordable, pushing families to the brink.

Federal Overreach in States - Heavy-handed mandates override local values, stripping families of hard-won rights.

Polarization and Division - Culture wars are tearing communities apart, eroding trust, and making it harder to solve challenges together.
International: Trump Weakens U.S. Power Abroad
Trade Wars with Allies - Reckless tariffs on Canada and Mexico triggered retaliation, gutting North American cooperation and fueling resentment toward Americans.
Punishing Tariffs on China - A crushing 34% tariff on Chinese goods slams global supply chains and American businesses while eroding trust in U.S. leadership.
Exit from the WHO - Abandoning the World Health Organization isolated America from global health efforts, breeding hostility and doubt about U.S. global responsibility.

Reduced Global Scientific Cooperation - Anti-science policies and withdrawal from partnerships have stalled progress while breeding resentment of America's isolation.
Cozying Up to Autocrats - Praising dictators and sidelining democracies invites global distrust and resentment of America's shifting values.
The truth is, our families, our freedoms, and our democracy are under attack—from Elon Musk to Donald Trump, from MAGA extremists to Putin's propaganda machine.
But here's what they don't want you to know:
Their power only works if we give in to fear.
Fear is the weapon of tyrants.
It isolates us. It paralyzes us. It makes us forget our worth.
But courage—especially when it's shared—is more powerful.
We have a choice.
We can stay silent, play small, and hope the bullies don't come for us next.
Or we can stand up, speak out, and reclaim the power that has always belonged to us.
It's how we challenge injustice. It's how we protect each other.
And it's how we win.

Why have People Power United not formed a Veterans group to mass veterans to picket the V A headquarters in D C? We Veterans should have a 24/7 ongoing occupy action picket or encampment at the VA Headquarters bldg. With an estimated 9 million veterans in the US we should strive to mass at least a million or more Active Veterans in the National Mall and at the V A headquarters Bldg. I will come for the duration of any such actions.
