For 250 years, the United States has supported democracy.
Now, in the middle of a horrific war that Putin started, Trump is turning his back on Ukraine and democracy, all to the benefit of a brutal dictator in Moscow.

Even under Obama in 2015, the United States was providing weapons and/or military training to 73% of the world's dictatorships as classified by Freedom House. The US is the #1 supporter of dictatorships in the world.
