No D-Day with the Donald

Before American troops ever landed in Europe, FDR had said, "We must be the great arsenal of democracy. For us, this is an emergency as serious as war itself. We must apply ourselves to our task with the same resolution, the same sense of urgency, the same spirit of patriotism and sacrifice as we would show were we at war."

In his radio address to the nation on the evening of June 6, 1944 - 80 years ago today on D-Day - Roosevelt led the nation in prayer. Here’s an excerpt from that address about American soldiers and our allies:
"They fight not for the lust of conquest. They fight to end conquest. They fight to liberate. They fight to let justice arise, and tolerance and good will among all Thy people. They yearn but for the end of battle, for their return to the haven of home."

Putin is the first European leader to lead an invasion of a neighboring country since Hitler. Here's what Trump said to European allies concerned about Putin's invasion of Ukraine and his threat to other European neighbors.
"No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them [Putin and the Russians] to do whatever the hell they want."

Imagine WWII with Trump in the White House instead of FDR. There would be no D-Day celebration today. Hitler would have been unstopped. Stop pretending that there is anything normal or noble about Donald Trump.
