'No Real Agenda To Run On': Supporters Question Trump's Campaign As Election Approaches | MSNBC
Trump’s agenda is to scam more money from the government the next 4 years.
TRUMP donates pay to charity. Crooked Obama was broke then left office worth 60 million in only 8 years fool.
@JeanDage85 EXACTLY Right, Very Well Said!!!
Government money is supplied by taxpayers!!
@Pete one Ha ha! And Ivanka’Jared’Eric and Donnie Jnr AND Daddy too!!
@Val Syaranamual Remember In 2016 when Hillary was a 95% win? Welcome to another 4 years of crying. Wish I Had the Time to share with you what I’ve learned. Best wishes fool.! Educate yourself or let your TV set tell you what to think. Got a dollar that says you’re an adult that still watches cartoons.
The AGENDA for Trump to run on is doubling unemployment and deaths to Americans!
@SouthSide Chicago Sure, Biden is still in his basement.
Obviously, Trump told you not to believe your own lying eyes and you took him seriously.
Here are a few things for you to consider while the Trump-fog clears:

SouthSide Chicago Biden’s election headquarters just happens to be his basement, he’s not hiding from anyone.
Zach Addington WHY NOT? It is our RIGHT
Big Buss PUTIN IS THAT YOU?
SouthSide Chicago Democrat’s aren’t in power republicans are. I can’t wait for November’s bye bye
trump and the GOP never had an agenda. they simply ran on racism.
Is anyone even real in this thread?
David McCoy, are you serious? Listen, I’m a conservative and I’ve never voted for the Democrats, but this year I support Biden. You ask why? It’s because despite anything Biden has done wrong, when you list it all, it’s still no where near the magnitude of worse that Trump has done. And then you look at the character of the two, who Biden is as a person and who Trump is as a person. If you still think there’s no difference between them, and that’s why you say may as well stick with Trump because he’s no better than Biden, then you were always going to support Trump no matter what.
To be truthfully honest, that’s the same flawed argument that people convinced themselves of when Trump ran against Hillary. They told themselves “they’re both as bad as each other, may as well give Trump a go.” Even Trump told people to vote for him because “what have you got to loose?”. Well now we know. We gave our lives to lose, 125,000 and counting.
We now know Trump was WAY worse than Hillary ever was, and again I say that as someone who didn’t vote for Hillary.
One can only make that mistaken argument once. Vote whoever is up against Trump.
@The Alpengeist obama is 50% white. Race is deeper then skin

@Bob Fischer that was a fair opinion. Hispanics are likely to be biased against Trump
Agenda for a second term? Trump doesn’t have an agenda for after lunch.
Dude Thinking
tRumps daily agenda is have another test for a hoax virus Covid19!
Now now, that is unfair. After lunch there are always the sixth and the seventh cheeseburger, then there are usually the fourth and the fifth soda. Then, there is always a short nap with sweet dreams of Ivanka, and then he has loooots of time with Hannity insanity and tweeting. Sometimes, there is some nice bunker time too. See? The president has a very sound plan for every occasion. (Well – almost every occasion.) Ts, ts, ts – bad liberals with their fake news! 🤨
@13bustah Yet you just heard Spanky himself….His ‘policies’ for a second term are ‘experience is a good word with a great meaning’. Immediately after that clip Spanky goes on to say ‘I know people in Washington now’
Sounds to me like Spanky is endorsing BYE DON there. He has more experience than Spanky and has known some of those same people much longer and actually worked with them.
Funny how you claim Biden’s broad policy outlines lack ‘substance’ when Spanky can’t even manage to ‘acchomlish’ it. Even when asked in a friendly arena by one of his bootlicking hacks.
Keep trying cupcake…The stench of desperation wafting off of you and your ilk as you weakly flail about is incredibly amusing.
@13bustah he hasn’t even been formally nominated… so whataboutism is your whole case? Impressive …
@Michael Beelby amen
The entire republican party is a sham hiding behind religion.
@Mr. T
Please explain
what a “sense of humanity” means if a person believes there is no soul? Is it like taking pity on an suffering animal to put it out of its misery?
@Lynny Board
Your 4th of July
“dead democrats” THREAT just got you ousted… Bye, bye .
@Lynny Board 🙄oh brother…..
45,600,000 AMERICANS ARE NOW UNEMPLOYED UNDER THE ORANGE FAT BASTERD.
@Jesus Anaya
And that FAKE Pres/ businessman wont negotiate infastructure contracts for OUTDOOR work that can save our nations economy bc its the best bang for our bucks. Use some of that military $$ they didnt need or the surplus he got for the wall where it cant be built!!!! Do something other than be a clown at rallies.
Bigotry greed and corruption defines the Republican party.
+j welsh- Well said! George Wallace must be smiling in his grave!
@Biden is NOT the candidate So Valdy Putin is not paying Ftrump ????
Biden is NOT the candidate Yet there’s not one republican politicians name included on your list. Don’t you understand the irony and the hypocrisy in the way that you think and view reality? If you’re really so concerned about that issue then how can you defend and still support this destructive “president” and his entire administration? You want to be on the Republican “team” I suppose you have your reasons and that’s fine, but to be so blind to what’s been going on with your “team” for the past 3-1/2 years is irresponsible and wrong.
Nailed it perfectly!!!
Defines America, you mean
Their one and only agenda is *_”feed our greed!”_*
Exactly!!
His only agenda was destroy everything President Obama had his name on. Period.!! No agenda.
@cptunicorn He isn’t even remotely Christian either!
@cptunicorn Supply the evidence!!!!!
@Val Syaranamual whatever his beliefs are, he is fighting for freedom of religion, so you get to keep yours and I get to keep mine…
Ill answer questions but i wont do your homework for you. supply your own evidence. study history.
Revealing Serendipity if I could give you more likes I would, extremely well said 👍👍👍
connie baldwin bravo 👏 👏👏👌excellent!
The GOP is out to plunder the USA. They’ve got nothing else. Nothing.
Good interview and lots of right on observations from the two commentators.
@TJK723 Right, many people are brainwashed to think anti fascism is a bad thing. They don’t know what fascism is and don’t understand what antifa actually is.
@michael murray you are a troll of antifa
When the Virus first came out some people called it “The Boomer Remover”
It seems like The Rich are just waiting for all those Beautiful Charming Old Homes…Perhaps it really is “The Plandemic”
@Ariki Royal Trump only has the support of Russian trolls with fake accounts. They are the only people who defend him. He needs to wise up and realize he has NO chance of winning.
The agenda is “IF I’M GOING DOWN I’M GOING DOWN I’M TAKING YOU ALL WITH ME!”
This
That would involve him acknowledging that everyone else actually exists.
And what exactly did you expect a failed president to run on? He’s running on the only things he can : conspiracy theories, fear mongering, and blame games.
Don’t forget the racism.
At this point, Trump can win only by dragging Biden down in the mud and driving down his likability.
@James Jones You think!
Mirrorgirl yeah the racism is ingrained in the conspiracy theories through fear mongering.
@James Winny 💯
WITHOUT Hillary , Trump has really nothing. MAKING FUN OF HILLARY distracted from all of his faults and shortcomings. HE IS PATHETIC
You’re the ones that fell for his distractions. Pathetic don’t even begin to describe it.
This is a Trump virus!
He is the virus.
Good one
Trump is moving deck-chairs on the Titanic
@Michel Brisebois IT IS DONE !!!
He is the one that would take the children and women place in the life boat
I would love that analogy if it wasn’t so tragic. And accurate. :/
What an amazing and original analogy. Well done.
Sailor ” captian, we are taking on a lot of water. captian ” don’t tell any people that. they will think the ship is sinking.
Genocide and corruption also to dismantle all that was achieved previously by Obama and Biden…
Just so it’s clear: all the tax payers money that goes into Trump’s golfing trips is pocketed directly by Trump himself. A liar and a thief!
@sweets1964s Are you joking!? Or, are you just willfully ignorant? It went to trial… he has to inform the DOJ if he ever plans to start another charity. His kids had to take ethics classes in lieu of jail time! He stole $10,000 from his own charity fund, to commission a painting of himself, TWICE!
Get your head out of the sand, ffs!
https://www.npr.org/2019/11/07/777287610/judge-says-trump-must-pay-2-million-over-misuse-of-foundation-funds
The guy steals 2.8 million from my brothers and sisters and all you can say is “proof”? Try opening your eyes… be less ignorant. I bet you go around claiming to support the troops, too, don’t you? Well, take it from a veteran, we don’t want or need your kind of hollow, empty, fake support. 👋
@Justin Libby-Perry It was a mistake that A CHECK was written from the wrong account. The MISTAKES found by his auditor and corrected . VETERANS VOTE FOR TRUMP
@Gary Mellow nosey RACHEL MADDOW REPORTS TRUMP PAID 35MILLION IN TAXES ONE YEAR
All past taxes were unlawful. Null and void.
@Barbara Witchey If it were a mistake, then why did the judge rule that it was unethical and unlawful? Why must trump now notify the DOJ if he plans to start another charity fund, if it were a mere clerical error? Why did junior and ivanka have to take ethics courses to avoid punitive penalties, if it was just a simple flub?
You cultists will bend any truth to fit your “alternative facts,” so long as it allows you to keep your head in the sand.
_Real_ veterans support America, they don’t _blindly_ follow one man. No single man is greater than us as a Nation. Yet, here you are, spinning truth in defense of what should be the indefensible. Especially to a veteran!
Also, if it was “A CHECK,” as you so eloquently bashed into the keyboard, then, by all means, how did it happen twice, huh, Barb?
Trump just wanted to “win”, not become president.
@cptunicorn Were YOU At His Tulsa Rally?
According To The Low Turnout By His Supporters, Doesn’t Seem Like He’s So Great After All.
Be careful of people who claim to know what another wants. They are presenting an assumption as fact and cannot be trusted
@slow motion is that the metric you measure greatness by? How many showed up to Bidens rally? Ohh.. I see
@Richard Miller 😂 yeah, the tiktokers really changed the world by buying some seats…
definitely not just a display of brattiness that will hurt their cause in the end.
but good, hurting their cause is for the good of all humanity… twerps are supporting the ones they think they are protesting.
@Michael Hoerig AGREE, Absolutely!!
We all want Trump in jail for the rest of his life
@John Hillman Biden has gone on the record to say no he won’t pardon Trump and his friends.
Yes, he should be brought up on charges!
@J C Just To Name A Few For Sure, To Include Biased Juries As Well.
Roland G. They usually execute murderers.

The only policy that Republicans have had for decades is to give more money to the rich and corporations. Nothing has changed.
It’s very sad, And Most TRUMP Followers are Religious people.. Makes you wonder why they don’t care about our many Poor American’s, many living out in Cold Tents on our American Streets. Why have so many forgotten what he said?
“Whatever you have done for the least among you…You did it for me”
You got right.
Trump run on tax cut to 1% and he pressure fed’s to lower it’s interest rate.
If recession comes know, we have no tools to fight against it.
27 trillions end this year in debt.
Scary number, but tRump never talks about. Wonder why
@**{[Redacted]}** Maybe it’s because people like you hate Christians, and rioters have even torn down the Saint junipero Serra statue. Meanwhile Democrats are supporting the destruction of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, all white pioneers that went west, and Christopher colombus statues
and that is the agenda.
Trump has no agenda and no message . He can’t even make a case for himself – his whole movement is about grievance and resentment
