"Demolish the deep state" - Trump has overseen the most corrupt administration in modern history making billions of dollars for him and his friends while your costs go up. "Expel the warmongers from our government" - Trump started a war with Iran that has cost taxpayers billions and raised your gas prices to almost $5 a gallon. "Rout the fake news media" - Trump's order banning news outlets from the White House was just struck down by a judge because it violated the First Amendment. … How much taxpayer money did the government spend on this ad?

Civilians were tackled and restrained, and agents fired pepper balls and spray into the crowd.

Americans don't want to go to war with Iran. By launching strikes, President Trump has made the same dangerous and foolish decision President Bush did a generation ago. He put Americans in harm's way without clearly showing there's an imminent threat to our national security.
