Donald Trump x REM – Losing My Civilians

In a time of crisis, the public looks to the political leadership for support and comfort.

I wish I could say that about our current leadership, but we all know that we can’t.

Enter Donald Trump x REM – Losing My Civilians.

Based on the classic 1991 R.E.M. song Losing My Religion, the song is perfect. This President has failed this country. We have no choice but to vote his behind out of office in November.
