It is disgusting and dangerous that President Donald Trump continues to drag terrorists and dictators onto American soil as if they are honored guests. This isn’t diplomacy — it’s betrayal. From his first term to now, Trump has shown a sick willingness to cozy up to some of the world’s worst criminals, undermining our security and humiliating our country. Putin’s Visit to Alaska (2025) Trump is rolling out the red carpet for Vladimir Putin — a war criminal wanted by the International Criminal Court — and bringing him to Alaska. This is an authoritarian thug responsible for thousands of deaths, including the slaughter of civilians in Ukraine. Hosting him here is spitting in the face of our allies and rewarding his brutality. Taliban at Camp David (2019) In his first term, Trump invited the Taliban — the same terrorists who harbored the 9/11 attackers — to Camp David just days before the anniversary of those attacks. This, after they killed U.S. soldiers and civilians in a bombing days earlier. The meeting was canceled, but the invitation alone was a disgrace to every American who has fought or died in the War on Terror. Freeing 5,000 Taliban Prisoners (2020) Trump also brokered the release of up to 5,000 Taliban fighters, many of whom went right back to killing. This was not “peace” — it was arming the enemy. These aren’t isolated mistakes — they are a clear pattern of siding with murderers and enemies of the United States. By normalizing them, Trump emboldens them. By hosting them, he legitimizes them. And by doing so on U.S. soil, he disgraces every American who has served, suffered, or sacrificed to keep this country safe. I demand that you: Publicly condemn Trump’s decision to host Putin. Support legislation banning terrorist organizations, war criminals, and hostile foreign leaders from receiving official invitations to the United States. Hold public hearings to expose the full security risks of these reckless acts. America’s enemies are not our dinner guests. If Congress refuses to draw that line, then it is complicit in Trump’s shameful betrayal.
