As @realDonaldTrump golfs this Memorial Day weekend while Americans continue to die due to his failed leadership, here’s a photo of a monument he placed along the Potomac at his VA golf course, which is as fake as his Putin installed presidency.

This battle never happened.

1/4
The plaque of @realDonaldTrump honoring a civil war battle that never occurred, which he branded “River of Blood,” sits under a massive American flag; which is now symbolic of the immeasurable damage he continues to cause our nation, including through disinformation warfare.

2/4
Historians reached out to Donald Trump when he first memorialized a civil war battle that never happened. They asked him not to rewrite history, but he dismissed them and the fake memorial remains today where he golfs as he allows Americans to perish.

Coincidentally, “Rivers of Blood” was a 1968 speech delivered by a conservative British MP - Enoch Powell. It was anti-immigrants and seen as a blatant demonstration of racism. Unlike Trump, Powell was held accountable by his own party for his hate rhetoric and divisiveness. 4/4

RT is funded by the Kremlin and vital to its disinformation warfare apparatus. It’s used to undermine the U.S. all over the world & once aired ads comparing U.S. military to terrorists. It was problematic Flynn & Jill Stein celebrated its 10 yr anniversary, & this is bad too.
Jane Sanders going on a Kremlin funded disinformation warfare tv station and advocating for open primaries in the Dem presidential nomination process because they allow GOP to vote for the Democratic nominee, after Putin targeted Dems to help GOP win, is insane and inexcusable.
It’s inexcusable that a spouse/advisor of a Democratic presidential candidate normalizes a Kremlin disinformation tv station all while the Kremlin was and is attacking our democracy, including helping elevate her husband in 2016 and 2020.

The hashtag Devin Nunes uses when he’s gaslighting the nation about Trump’s impeachment crimes and his own compromised role in the Ukraine scandal is #GoodnightVienna, which is currently trending with the help of troll bots.

1/9
‘Goodnight, Vienna’ is a song released in 1974 by Ringo Starr. The phrase is Liverpool slang for “it’s all over” but was inspired by a 1951 American black-and-white science fiction film, ‘The Day the Earth Stood Still,’ which also inspired the song’s album cover.

2/9
The 1951 film ‘The Day the Earth Stood Still,’ that inspired Ringo Starr’s song & album cover, ‘Goodnight, Vienna,’ is about “a humanoid alien visitor, Klaatu, that comes to Earth, with a powerful tall robot, Gort, to deliver an important message affecting the human race.”

Rep. Marcy Kaptur’s letter to @realDonaldTrump re his rally tonight in Toledo, Ohio, the heart of her district.

“Hardly anyone here was born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Most have had to build the ladder upon which they have advanced their lives.” - @RepMarcyKaptur

1/5
“Toledo is a place that has traditionally created wealth, not just traded money...”

“It is a far cry from the America you know best, for ours is a community well acquainted with struggle.” Your homes (Trump Tower & Mar a Lago) “sit among wealthiest in the world.” - Kaptur

2/5
“Toledoans are practical and expect more than your words. Your ‘Tax Cut & Jobs Act’ overwhelmingly benefited the wealthiest Americans & multinational corporations at the expense of working people. Your policies further beholden us to overseas financiers.”
- @RepMarcyKaptur
