Accountability might.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Steve Siebold<\/p>\n<p>#USCrisis #DemocracyInDanger #Authoritarianism #freepalestine #fyp<\/p>\n<p>English Script:<br \/>\nSteve Siebold: Please do not come to the United States. We are not the same country we were four months ago. It is not safe here anymore. They can pull you off the street. They can detain you. They&#8217;ll do God knows what to you. They&#8217;re doing it to our own citizens. They will do it to you. Please do not support American products. Don&#8217;t buy American. Don&#8217;t vacation here. I&#8217;m very sorry to say this, and I want to apologize on behalf of all rational Americans in this country are fighting Trump tooth and nail with everything we have. We&#8217;re sorry. We&#8217;re doing the best we can to get rid of this guy, and all his crooked cronies. But we&#8217;re having a very difficult time doing, we handed in the keys. Ignorant, ignorant populace handed him the keys to this kingdom. And we&#8217;re finding it very difficult to slow him, to even slow him down frankly. I think America&#8217;s done. I hate to say that, but I don&#8217;t know how much we can do, what we can do to slow this guy down. We&#8217;re trying very hard. Please don&#8217;t support us anymore. And to my government, my friends and government all over the world who we dealt with in business and for so many years. You guys were so good to us all over the place. You know, France, Australia, the United Kingdom, of course, Canada, of course, Mexico, you know, Costa Rica, Panama, all over Asia. You know, you guys have been wonderful partners to us for years. I&#8217;m so sorry Trump is treating you like dirt. Don&#8217;t expect anything better from him in the future. He&#8217;s a tyrant. He wants to be a dictator. And frankly, he&#8217;s turning into one very quickly. Again, we&#8217;re having a hard time slowing him down. I&#8217;m sorry to say that. Please don&#8217;t trust this guy. If you&#8217;re working in government, he makes you a promise. His promise is worth nothing. I&#8217;ve known this guy for 30 years. His word is worthless. And that goes for all of his crooked cronies in our GOP that are supporting him. Do not trust this guy. The reason I&#8217;m telling you this right now. If you&#8217;re wondering, it\u2019s because I&#8217;m getting out to a couple million people on social media a week now and he&#8217;s going to shut me down. He&#8217;s shutting friends of mine down. He&#8217;s threatening my friends that have millions and millions of viewers on social media that are rational, thinking people. He&#8217;s threatening them with an inch of their life. He&#8217;s going after him for taxes. He&#8217;s going after him for any way he can. And I&#8217;m afraid it&#8217;s going to continue and I won&#8217;t be able to say that. So I&#8217;m saying it now. Do not trust anything American at this point. We are not the same country. I don&#8217;t know that we ever will be. Again, apologies from America. You guys have been so great to us. And, you know, just we&#8217;re so sorry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>View this post on Instagram A post shared by Daizy Gedeon (@daizygedeon) \u201cDo not come to the United States.\u201d Not a threat.
