Chuck Todd: Trump's Speech Was Reminder To GOP That He Owns Their Party | MSNBC

66 comments

  1. I watched. It was horrific. It was Fascist, vindictive, filled with lies. They call it “cult of personality”, yet he has zero charisma.

    1. It bugged me when Pelosi and the dems didn’t clap when trump talked about the progress that minorities and women have made recently. Shame on them

    2. All of the Hate, Violence, Protesting, Racism, Fascism, Vindictiveness, Divisiveness, Lying and Cultist behavior that I’ve ever seen is from Liberals.

    3. Heather, what PROOF did you come up with regarding your comments ?? we are waiting for your answer ?? don’t let us down here….

  2. Republicans like Joni Ernst and Susan Collins are trying to convince us that by some miracle, Trump has finally seen the light, and that he has now learned his lesson. Really?!?!
    Republicans are treating Trump the exact same way that his parents treated him as a child, by rewarded him for his bad behavior. They have basically told Trump that there will be no consequences for anything that he does, and not only will they not punish him, they will protect him from being punished by anyone else. This is how Trump’s parents created a monster without boundaries. A sociopath who is oblivious or indifferent to the devastation he causes to everything around him.  A sociopath who will never accept blame himself, but instead blames others, even for acts he obviously committed. 

    “Trump’s temperament and his habits have hardened with age.” Schwartz said. “He was always cartoonish, but compared with the man for whom I wrote The Art of the Deal 30 years ago, he is significantly angrier today: more reactive, deceitful, distracted, vindictive, impulsive and, above all, self-absorbed.”
    “Every American ought to be concerned about his character.” Schwartz said.

    –Tony Schwartz, the ghost writer for Trump’s book “The Art of the Deal”:

    1. @David J,
      I would like to thank Trump’s parents for creating one of the best Presidents of modern history, a Boundless Conservative Monster of a President able to cause much Devastation to the Democrat Crime Organization!

  3. Collins is talking about a spoilt brat, who will be a good boy from now on.
    White house turned into a kindergarten

    1. @Folk Aart so i take you don’t know the meaning of communist :: Communism is a philosophical, social, political and economic ideology and movement whose ultimate goal is the establishment of a communist society, namely a socioeconomic order structured upon the ideas of common ownership of the means of production and the absence of social classes, money and the state

  4. I would say he stole their party, like he’s done his whole, miserable life. Better grow a spine republicans.

    1. @Dre Day remember that. Enjoy the fleas, you can’t see the eggs and it takes warm weather to make them hatch. Also bedding with neo fascists is just Un-American as it gets.

  5. VOTE November. Vote for sanity. Decency, Liberty and Justice for all. basically the things trump and the senate majority seem to be against. it’s easy folks, VOTE NOVEMBER

    1. Jeff Cooper
      I really hope the vote is different and I y support your view. But I have no faith in the level of stupidity of your country men. Honestly what a dumb country and I do not regret giving up my green card. Does not stand for much ask Kashoggji!

    1. The question is, how many people in other countries does he have a hardon for? He’s in control of the largest military in the world and has no guard rail now. If he’s willing to threaten his political foes what is he capable of in another country.

  6. I guess all those other “Christian” republican senators don’t take their oaths to god as seriously as Mitt. 🤔

    1. Stock market is soaring,today record highs. Lowest unemployment in history for blacks and latinos. Wages are going up. New trade deals with Mexico and Canada and China and soon England will bring hundreds of billions of dollars to America. Lowest number of people on food stamps. Trump got NATO countries to pay up what they owe,hundreds of billions of dollars already paid last year. New tax law was passed and de-regulations have businesses on the boom. And you call this damage to America,lady go get your head examined!

    2. @kissmyaass1 Good try but suggest u don’t waste yr time cos Dems do not have the intellect to comprehend what u just outlined! They r sheep n just follow the MSM blindly, not realizing that the MSM have their own evil agenda based solely on $ n power!.

  7. This is an insane country. Thank God I wasn’t raised there. Deadwood USA, hoople head nation.

    1. Gewöhnheit Spiel It’s called cleaning house America will be a far better nation once we’re done. 🇺🇸

  8. like real genius said – “Mental wounds not healing
    Life’s a bitter shame

    I’m going off the rails on a crazy train “

  9. It’s a message/speech from an insecure little man who knows he’s going to jail after he looses 2020. Very transparent

    1. That’s way he is telling every lie he can come up with to stay in office. Once he loses 2020 he will be heading to jail with the quickness. Lock Trump up!!!!!!!

  10. If the people are that upset over some torn up papers, imagine the reaction when the people find out these demons are pedovores!
    They won’t be able to walk the streets.

  11. He owns the GOP, he owns the evangelicals, and he seeks to own the military (Secretary of the Navy’s resignation). Open civil war in 3,2,1 . . .

    1. C.A.T. Mexico is turning around the democrat funded caravans as we speak. At least he got them to do something unlike the left that paid for them to march here by the tens of thousands at a time. Trump was right you people are on a mission to destroy this country thank god Americans have woken.

    2. Weston Shortnacy u r a prime example of a trump cult member who believes everything he says! U r STUPID STUPID STUPID! Dems paid for the caravan?!! Lol 😂 omg YOU ARE STUPID and delusional

    1. Remember there is no fence to sit on where God’s truth is concerned.Nor wholes to sneak back and forth through. And you are with him or against him. HIS WORDS NOT MINE.

    2. A demonrats who kills babies quoting the bible….Get thee behind me, Satan! Matt 19:18 Jesus said, Thou shall do no murder! And Matt 19:4 He which made them at the beginning made them Male and Female. Which of these words of Jesus do YOU not understand?

    3. Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.

    4. @Nota Bene practice what you preach….Matt 22:37, Matt 22:39 and John 3:16. Believe in those three things, follow them and you will be fine.

  12. How come no one talks about his obvious drug addiction? He was really messed up today, constant sniffing, couldn’t complete a sentence or thought , and his eyes were really dilated.

    1. I don’t know, maybe for the same reason no one talks about how Pelosi has banked over $100,000,000 in office on her salary, or how Maxine Waters lives in a $4,000,000 mansion? I could go on, but you get the point. When you find the answers to your questions, and mine, please let me know.

  13. Susan Collins should resign. I cannot imagine her winning re-election or even surviving a primary challenger.
