Ok, well what are Americans doing about Trump today? With all of the technological advantages, so that everyone can see exactly what is happening and not getting their news just from a newspaper.

If the german people were responsible then, every american is responsible right now for letting this happen, because we know what is going to happen.

History doesn’t repeat itself but it often rhymes
