The following day, Wilson commented on ongoing global conflict and leadership in Russia. On September 23 he wrote: “I totally agree with President Trump.

The only obstacle to peace and prosperity is the maniac in Moscow. https://t.co/rJFaijAEQG”.
Later that day, Wilson addressed protests in Georgia: “Today marks 300 days of non-stop protest by the courageous and patriotic Georgian people. They will not accept the anti-American Georgian Dream regime’s sale of their country to China, Russia & Iran. This regime is illegitimate. We must pass MEGOBARI!”.
