'Robert De Niro just delivered a SPECTACULAR takedown of Trump's America' [View all]

https://substack.com/@rawstory/note/c-219738610

WOW: Legendary actor Robert De Niro just delivered a SPECTACULAR takedown of Trump’s America: “Can you love a country where our neighbors are shot down in the streets by masked government thugs? Can you love a country that denies healthcare for tens of millions of our fellow citizens? Can you love a country that trashes our economy to give tax breaks to its billionaire cronies? Can you love a country that pardons violent criminals and protects pedophiles? I feel betrayed by my country. It doesn’t have to be perfect, but it does have to return to the values that gave us our strength and humanity.” Share this widely!

My words: Your turn, Trumpy.
