He is an unpleasant, ill-mannered very rich old, corpulent, self-absorbed boor of a man, who sticks his nose into the private and public business of Americans. He acts according to whim, ignoring those who need his help in his role as a President. He has two sons from a first marriage, has had multiple divorces and affairs, and is presently married to a rich bimbo, who is much younger than him (Americans ignore her most of the time). </p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/TrumpRegime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpRegime</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/TrumpCoup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpCoup</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/KingCharles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KingCharles</span></a></p>

However much one may compare the <a href="https://c.im/tags/RussianRevolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RussianRevolution</span></a> with the Great French Revolution, the former can never be transformed into a repetition of the latter."<br>In the <a href="https://c.im/tags/FrenchRevolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FrenchRevolution</span></a> of 1789, France experienced what Marxists called a "bourgeois-democratic revolution"—a regime was established wherein the bourgeoisie overthrew the existing French feudalistic system.

Charlie McHenry<p>“Trump’s administration is testing out anti-democratic power grabs and violating our due process rights. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says he’s monitoring student visa holders’ social media posts and aiming to deport people who criticize the U.S. government. Then they might come for anyone who criticizes Trump, including citizens.
