    1. @Lisa Carr “Idk if they have anything on Melania.” Well, she got here on an Einstein visa. That’s clearly a case of fraud.

  1. He will be forgotten and people will move on to the next conman in line. The uneducated and willfully ignorant are fickle and easily swayed.

    1. @russian bot Look into the election interference executive order Trump signed in 2018. Trump laid a trap for the deep state.

    2. @nodaklojack absolutely. You’re the first person that has mentioned it. I have 3 degrees and I can read and write ancient greek and some latin. My dad was a pastor and professor at a couple of universities and seminaries. I was taught at home and had the advantage of living in an environment where reading was the only form of entertainment and my education included translating and comparing modern texts of the bible with older translations. Please feel free to send a link.

    1. @russian bot hey man. I am not guided by any news channel. I can think for myself and it has been obvious for a long time that Trump and those he has on board only harm us.

    2. @russian bot wrong. I follow the news and stay away from fake stuff. I can think and I stongly am convinced Trump and his heard only cause harm.

  2. Trump’s collecting money from his supporters going to use it to pay off that four hundred and some million that he owes

    1. He should just ask them for help! He sees how blindly they follow him! But he’d rather disrespect them by fleecing them than to act like a human in need! LOSER!!!!

    2. @Maggie Hubbard OUCH! Girl! Spanking with the obvious reasoning like a real live grown-up with a brain and everything! I like that! 💯

    1. @russian bot Where is the fraud? Show me. All of the lawsuits that Trump filed showed no evidence of fraud and was dismissed by the courts. Even Rudy claimed that there was no fraud in court when point blank asked about it by the judge. Show me the fraud.

    2. Take Barr, Dejoy, Kaleigh and for sure Graham for his trying to intimidate his own Republican Party Officials.
      The Republican Party is pathetic!

    1. @russian bot I don’t know what you’re talking about,but go run too you’re Daddy at the white house and tell him that i hate him as well as others.

    2. @DJ your hatred is drawing you since 2016 🙂 i know you will blame Trump when you get drawn in your own libtear, lols.

    1. Good title! No doubt they’ll use it! Maybe then the minority Republicans of color will see just where they truly stand with their party, if that’ll make a difference…I doubt it! They’ll continue to drink the kool-aid!

    2. @TAMMY WALLACE I mean GOP LITERALLY stands for “grand old party” bring things back to the good old days where every white had a black to work their fields

  3. If Trump wants to run for President again, he’d better take up residency in the state with the most lenient work-release program.

    1. @Angela Howard I have a degree in political science and that is what I thought. But, when I looked it up, being a felon didn’t preclude him. But felons can’t vote in most states. So I dont know what has changed.

  4. Trump doesn’t want his children to be indicted because he knows they’ll roll over and testify against them to save themselves Trump would do that to them

    1. Trump doesn’t want his children to be indicted because he’s scared KFC & McDonald’s refuse to serve him because he never pays his bills and he needs something to eat….

  5. The lawsuits are all about having a cause he can get his followers to contribute money towards — the grift is the thing — always!

  6. This will come as comfort to black people in America. As a person who does not live in America i have become aware of the discrimination that is put on black people in America in the last 3 months and i think so have many other people in the world. I use to think it was an exaggeration but after what i have seen on media i realize now it is a very justifiable and rational claim by these people.From people all over the world , we say your children have the right to walk around without persecution from police and we respect your right to fix this injustice.
