Trump’s Betrayal of Ukraine and the Need for Impeachment
4 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!
Donald Trump’s recent comments and actions regarding Ukraine are an outright betrayal of U.S. interests and our allies. His response to President Zelenskyy—publicly belittling and dismissing Ukraine’s urgent security concerns—directly aids Vladimir Putin’s war effort and undermines America’s global standing. This is not just reckless; it is what some might consider treason.
By siding with Russia over Ukraine, Trump has demonstrated that he is unfit for office. His administration’s push to abandon our commitments to Ukraine, combined with Vice President JD Vance’s shocking suggestion that Ukraine should cede its territory to Putin, is an attack on democracy itself. We are watching an American president actively work against our allies while strengthening an authoritarian adversary. This cannot stand.
I am calling on you to take immediate action:
1. Publicly condemn Trump’s betrayal of Ukraine and his appeasement of Vladimir Putin.
2. Demand accountability for his actions, including an investigation into whether his statements and policies constitute an impeachable offense.
3. Support articles of impeachment if and when they are introduced.
4. Reaffirm U.S. support for Ukraine by ensuring continued military and financial aid, regardless of Trump’s reckless foreign policy.
History will remember those who stood up to dictatorship and those who remained silent. Trump’s actions today demand more than statements—they require action. I urge you to be on the right side of history and fight back against this administration’s dangerous betrayal of American values.
I expect to hear from you on where you stand.
