  1. This Trump carry-on will only work for half of his base not all of it I don’t know what he’s thinking Joe 2020 build back better

    1. joe said he talked with other country leaders and is going to make american workers more competitive = wage stagnation , work harder for less money

  2. Trump’s advisors Giuliani, Bannon, Juan Guaidó Venezuela’s who has declared himself Venezuela’s interim president a friend of Trump and Mike Pence.

    1. ​@G Guest We all know that newyork times isn’t trumps friend. So the only thing the mentioned is that Trump ask Pompeo and Pence for such a plan. But they write diffrent toplines on the media, some are using questions. Is Trump attacking Iran? Some are more honest “trump asked for striking iran” <-- that would be terminated action. But 1 thing is clear. If that would be a scret operation it would be over right now. They shared this news arround the world and i don't think its a secret leak like Snowden-story was i think Trumps enemies are so afraid of him that they make up horrible sounding stories all the time. If Trump want to attack nuclear TARGET Media wouldn't leak it to iranian news stations... not even al jazeera...this story is clearly hard to believe if u havn't TDS

    2. @rob s I notice you didn’t answer the question about a double standard and, in fact, doubled-down. And you wonder why people laugh?

    3. Yeah he was wrong but it didn’t stop them from electing him. The past is the past. He was the president we cant erase that. We can move forward and put our heads together. To do better because depending on people to make it better is just holding us back.

    4. @Viper 123 trump had always claimed to be a Democrat but had to get with the Republican party because they are fine with lying, conning, manipulating. The democrat party would never have accepted him. And if they did he never would have come close to winning.

  3. This President will continue to undermine American interests for years to come. The true extent of the damage caused by Trump is immeasurable.

    1. @mark vines..even worse it was bad enough Trump was milking American tax payers for his GOLF outtings at his resorts…but we’ll still have to foot the bill for his lifetime secret service detail even after he’s out of the WH.

    1. If usa counts like germany. Watch cdc they say its only 25000 clear covid19 death where you cant say it was the preexisting condition. Thats how germany count. If the usa would count the same way it would be the same ratio. Usa is 4 times as big as germany and the testing and reporting is the biggest possible only china is ahead

    2. Virus isnt politics. And as a german i would be quiet. Because germany is maybe involed in possible us election fraud with scytl on servers in frankfurt

    3. @rob s I disagree. I live in America and the number of votes seem correct. There is like a little less than half of America that will die for Trump. The rest of us want this MF out.

  4. Trump doing what he usually does with all of his many failed businesses:
    Screws over his workers
    Declares bankruptcy
    Flees

    And this guy is supposed to ‘care about America’ and ‘make America great again’ according to his supporters.
    Huh, he’s really showing us how much he cares about America, which is very little.

  5. This has never happened in America’s history because there has never been a Narcissist Incompetent Leader In Chief. Why isn’t the 25th Amendment being used. People are dying daily due to Trump deliberately Downplaying the Coronavirus.

    1. They should have used it a long time ago but if he moves to take military action against iran then they should do it lickety split, And put pence in until biden is sworn in. Pence is nuts but hes not nuts that way….

    1. @Moms MADD biden cannot until his days, if war start today, trump still in control til it end. Unless war start after 68 or 69 days when biden official in white house then biden will be the one in control.

    2. @Moms MADD now we just hope the chief in command in the military wouldn’t follow his order. The chief in command is the one can save this country.

    3. @Tom NGUYEN Can you not read what it says. IF AN ELECTION CAN NOT BE HELD. An election was held before Trumps term was over. Biden won, Biden will take over in January.

  6. Can we not forcibly remove Trump from the WH? We need to stop him. Military needs to drag him out of his chaotic behaviour.

    1. I am at the point now that I have ZERO respect for any republican. You are part of this horror or you are standing back DOING NOTHING. SAME thing, dispicable!!!

    2. @Terry Hawkins really. Nope just some of us the rest are very decent people who have helped people all across the world. SIT DOWN FOOL!!!

    3. @Truth91 he is a child in emotional depth, mental capability, and accepted title among general educated people.

    4. I watched Mary Trump interview yesterday. When asked about what she thought about T having 70 mill votes. She responded “It is a disgrace and is a permanent stain on America.”

    1. Typical right wing religious kkkonserative FAKE family VALUES hypocrites they don’t mind aborting the people in the middle east with bombs and missiles

    1. Issa very dangerous fake news. Trump didnt ask pompeo or pence to do that. And all 3 together + kushner are fighting for real peace in the middle east. Fake news invented from new york times and no names are called as source…
