For years, Republicans have sold their party as a defender of states' rights from an overbearing federal government that wants to impose its cultural will on communities that may have different beliefs.

National Review writer Noah Rothman found himself utterly aghast after watching President Donald Trump berate Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during an Oval Office meeting on Friday.

"What just happened in the Oval Office defies description," Rothman began. "In sum, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was treated to a scolding lecture about why his country should be content with the extent to which it has defended some of its citizens from foreign aggression and should capitulate. He was berated, and forced to defend himself in a non-native language, for his failure to express sufficient gratitude to the United States for its support in its existential war effort — gratitude Zelensky has expressed on countless occasions."

Many took to social media to express their anger at how Trump and Vance just humiliated their country — and their fear that it is setting up America to be powerless in its dealings with other countries.
