Trump's Total Failure: Francis Ford Coppola On His Old Classmate, 'The Godfather' & Wine | MSNBC
*Five most shameful things you can be:*
5. Drug Dealer
4. Bank Robber
3. Serial Killer
2. Child Predator
1. Trump Supporter
@Shawn Corbin – Um – they’re not, moron…
Trump is all 5.
He is not the best but the beast.
2-5 are inner city Democrats
@Shawn Corbin wack job alert, hide your wife and children.
@Forrest Trump God that made me laugh way too easily way too hard
Is Gary Busey still alive? Because if so, he’s the clear pick to play t’rump in the movie about his life, tentatively called “t’rumpster Fire: How the Dumbest Man in New York Became the Worst President in History.”
@Abel Gonzales Trump’s daughter can play his wife hes already f***ing her ☝️
You couldn’t pay me to watch that movie, I’ve had enough of the real, or is it fake, orange sphincter.
@Abel Gonzales “creepy Joe” = argumentum ad hominem That’s attacking the man instead of his argument. Is fallacious reasoning and of zero logical value.
The next 4 1/2 years aren’t going to be kind to you guys. Try not to go to insane ok? Sorry MORE insane.
@James Tinsley TRE45ON
Francis Ford Coppola is an American genius. he went to high school with Donald Trump. Amazing. I went to high school with Rusi Giuiliani; he was a putz then, and he’s aged into a slob.
“he was a putz then”. thanks for the chuckle.

@Yolanda Denny The redoubtable Alice Roosevelt Longworth (“If you haven’t got anything nice to say about anybody . . . come sit by me”) once said “Warren Harding wasn’t a bad man really, he was just a slob.”
Apparently, she was speaking in tones of something like endearment, or at least forgiveness. We won’t be saying anything endearing or forgiving about this slob when he’s been strumped out.
You can correct that, ya know…
Indeed, it’s a small world…
Everything good that America stands for trump has been and is trying to DESTROY and turn our country into a “Rich Mafia controlled family authoritarianism” .and the Republican party is responsible for not only allowing it to happen but for making it happen and participating in it. IT IS ALL ON THE Republican party..almost all of them..a few are exempt..
Nice try but Trumps personal wealth has declined since he entered the White House
@Michael S You are repeating the typical BS that Trump tries to sell to American citizens, the sad aspect is that you fell for it.
@Jessica DeTrant .
@harrison wintergreen Has it really? I don’t think so…he and his family are raking in tons of money for their D.C. hotel where many “foreign leaders” go and let’s see all of those secret service people having to pay tons of money for their Mara Largo rooms. Jared and “family” are also raking in “big financial deals” with Saudi Arabia. Also the deals trump has made with CEO’s for building the wall…and I wonder if all of we taxpayers are paying for all of these trump rallies “CV-19 testing everyone around trump…he is tested and protected but doesn’t seem to care about anyone else at these rallies..what a selfish A hole trump and his family are. I”m sure there is a lot more but I don’t have all night. We will be finding out once trump loses the election, and Biden comes in, we will be finding out how much trump and his family have been ripping off of the American people.
harrison wintergreen of course it has bankruptcies are Trumps thing, now he wants to bankrupt the USA. He would have more now if he just lived off the family money. If you bankrupt then you should have to use your personal money to payoff the debt.
Donald Trump is more Danderous than Covid 19,
Trump to prison 2020!
Kinda wish there was hereditary sentencing like in N Korea, i don’t think dude has 10 years left
True, and soon all his supporters will suffer the pain. Bankruptcy, COVID-19 and death.
Danderous is my favorite album by Midael Jadson. 😆
Trump IS Covid 19
“I don’t think science knows” person who claimed there were airports in 1776.
Haha ikr and when he said that that this is the worst pandemic since “1917” — then added that the “1917” pandemic “probably ended the Second World War.” 🤯😩👩🏫

@Sara Ford The depths of Trump’s stupidity is astounding and his ineptitude is immense. The only two things that are huge in relation to Trump are his ignorance and ineptitude.
I forgot about that one…there’s been so many… I’m thinking the bone spurs are actually in his head.
Idea is vote overwhelmingly in a way it can’t be denied
Trump is the product of chain immigration
You are as well my friend, unless off course you are a native American. Wise to remember that America is the country built by immigrants, for immigrants.
LIBERALISM IS A MENTAL DISORDER
Right on brudder
He think he is the native American.
He’s a product of his culture, he’s 100% American.
Daily Reminder: Trump said Covid-19 was a Democrat hoax that will miraculously disappear.
Trump/Plague 2020
I went to high school and was taught by WWll veterans that used the GI bill to become teachers. All of them are rolling over in their graves.
Jr high school teach with one leg teaching earth science. The classes where war stories on blackboard.
especially the ones whose children support trump.
I bet bin Laden is *laughing* in his watery grave wherever it is, America being torn to shreds. by Americans.
Let me go ahead and tell everyone what trump will say “I don’t know Francis, did he say he knows me. I know a lot of people but I couldn’t pick him out of a room if he was here now” 🤔☝️
jason rodgers But, I have one of the best memories in the world. Tremendous memory.
@Elizabeth White “no one has ever heard of a memory like mine, the doctors said they were amazed I was even alive” – trump
Francis Ford a very talented and educated human being.
I didn’t see an educated man in this video, I saw an elitist millionaire Hollywood celebrity confirming how disconnected he is from the reality of everyday ordinary people.
Thyalwaysseek, somebody is going to sleep with the fishes.
Robert De Niro (Vito Corleone) on tRump-“He’s a loser!”

He seems to be such a gentleman.

Well, everything he said pretty much requires the dismantling of the patriarchy, cause it’s that which urges people to compete and makes winners and losers in society. It’s the hierarchy of the ape. We need to work together like in the old days
Cool booking! Though I like De Niro’s angrier take toward that awful “human being” Trump….
Fohhttps://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8J
I admire his optimism and Utopian outlook, as misplaced as it is.
Exactly. I’m like man that sounds so pretty. Garden of Eden huh.. yeah. Nice..good man a bit naive. 🤦♂️
Trump vs Coppola
Trump: I am the Godfather…
Coppola: you know that was fiction, correct? Did your father tell you it was real? Your father was a moron…🤪
Well said he has failed permanently.
Coppola went on a diet, he’s looking good for his age.
