I left this message this morning.

America needs a Volodymyr Zelenskyy now more than ever!

A President who LEADS by example and truly cares about his country and his people!

We all watched yesterday as our Putin backed bully and his vice president embarrassed us all as they rudely pressured Ukraine’s president!

This was one of Trump’s “I” quotes, “The problem is, I've empowered you to be a tough guy, and I don't think you'd be a tough guy without the U.S. Your people are very brave, but you're either going to make a deal or we're out, and if we're out, you'll fight it out. I don't think that’s going to be pretty. You’re in a much better position with us, but you’re not acting at all thankful, and that's not a nice thing. I'll be honest. That's not a nice thing.”

That is Mob Boss rhetoric to a T!

Today I am ashamed to be an American!

I believe that all of our Patriotic Americans have to stop this GOP, totalitarian regime, while we still have Time!

We have to restore our government back to a government of the people, by the people and for the people.

Couldn't agree more, Zelensky is currently on our welcoming British soil where, I can assure you, he will be treated with the utmost decorum and decency that his heroism dictates... 🙏💚🙏

Thank you, Elisabeth. So grateful to Britain! I pray that hero Zelenskyy never returns to the US. It’s not a safe place for him.

I understand your thought but having a ticker tape parade for him in front of the White House or Marsala go would be extremely extraordinary!

Thank you. I hope you understand that the president and his sycophants are taking our country in a direction that , likely the majority of Americans, are VERY UNHAPPY about.

Please tell your circle of friends and family that this is the case. Ask them NOT to believe that Americans are Butcher Putin supporters. tRUMP is in this for himself, not us, and not the part of the world that embraces democratic principles.

Thankfully we still have Free Speech and media coverage here in Blighty so the educated and informed amongst us can truly resonate with true American morals and values as we see Project 2025 unfold and attempt to infect your great Nation, we will always stand in solidarity with you for democracy, decency and truth x 🇬🇧

I cried! Yesterday the anger and the embarrassment was overwhelming! However, there are more of us than of them! I try to find a positive in something and this morning I saw the Americans who have been silenced so much by MAGA! We are getting loud and yesterday I think k we found the enough is enough! We will find our footing and build back! We need to be louder than MAGA! Standing with all our allies and Ukraine we are sorry! 🇺🇦🇺🇦

Bless our friends across the pond. Heroic President Zelenskyy needs to be among true friends & supporters after the disgusting display in the Oval Office. I have been alive in the U.S. for almost 7 decades. This not a federal government that I recognize. The shame for us here, seeing the president & v.p. (I shall not even capitalize the titles because we have degenerates in those roles now) align themselves 100% with an evil dictator? They lick the boots of Putin & 💋 whatever he wants kissed, while purportedly being in the highest offices in the U.S. government??

We support Ukraine 🇺🇦.

We support President Zelenskyy.

We ARE the true people of the U.S.

This horror must end.

Absolutely! The majority or Americans are with President Zelenskyy. May he keep the strength in fighting tyrants (Putin and felon and liar Trump). In solidarity with the Ukraine! 🙏🏽

Never was a man more welcome on our soil. The performance of American leadership should be an eye opener to all! However the heavy lifting against Trump will have to be done in American hearts before the coup really takes place.

I think you'd agree we all got a good look at who the real current leader of the Free World is, and it's not the guy with the spray tan.

Elisabeth,

Thank you for the support of Britain. What took place yesterday will have the world sending aid to Ukraine. The clown car that is the WH has become a bus.

I applaud Zelenskyy. Trump obviously has no idea what the meaning of courage is because he's such a coward.

And unfortunately, if only Zeleneskyy had played the obsequious little sheep at least for the display of news cameras, he'd have metaphorically licked trump's ass enough to potentially avoid whatever withdrawal of funding this is very likely going to motivate by the orange loaf.

Not a chance in hell should President Zelenskyy have "played' a thing for the cameras, Trump's Russian agent, or the WH thugs. He is a hero personified and Trump is clearly "Not like him". Didn't you hear him ..."I'm not playing cards"?

I don’t think is a coward- far from it!He has taken on the job of being President after a very close assassination attempt. He is a narcissistic authoritarian with noticeable dictatorial tendencies!

He’s too protected. But where there’s a will, there’s a way. All these ppl being fired. It’s not sitting pretty with someone who has nothing to lose. IJS.

Not ashamed to be an American. But I am ashamed of the current administration in my government.

I appreciate the passion with which you wrote this, but I AM NOT ASHAMED to be an American. I don't believe in collective guilt. I did not vote for Trump nor any other "Reds," and I donated money to Blues in and out of my state. I wrote a lot about how the media -- including Meidas -- was doing a disservice to America by repeatedly claiming Trump's base was leaving him, giving the false impression that all was good so no need to fight for every vote. I am truly appalled that enough Americans embraced Trump's lies and philosophy that he was elected, but that's shame on them, not on me.
