    1. @Linda Sandoval Seeing how upset the uniparty is means Trump is doing the right thing. Funny watching the left promote the MIC.

    1. @Nefarious520…. Why? Why wouldn’t Trump be Impeached? It took Congress three months and Clinton was facing a Trial In the Senate with Chief Justice Rehnquist presiding. Clinton faced charges of lying under Oath and obstruction of Justice. Orchestrated by Clinton’s tawdry behavior and Kent Starr’s (later, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s prominent Attornies).rabid pursuit. Clinton lied, obstructed Justice (about A Blue Dress) and was Acquitted on both charges. The American People need to observe Partisan Chief Justice Robert’s and grasp which Politicians Would Acquit Donald “George the Third” Trump (or as he preens “I Am The Chosen One’). All the more reason to VOTE Those Senators Out Of Office In the 2020 Elections and examine Robert’s conduct (United Citizens vs Federal Election Commission 2010).

    2. @Ann Owens I hope he does but with all the crap goin on in the middle east and with everything here it’ll probably get put in the back burner.

    3. Congratulations comrade..You are now an officially certified member of the Treasonous Leftist Rat Party..Your ignorance is surpassed only by your Leftist Rat indoctrinated delusions..Your Brown Shirt and Black Mask can be retrieved from Obama..Go get it boy..Good puppy.

    1. America is not trusted. How much longer do we, as apparent allies, have to put up with this sociopath? Get him out by screaming at the GOP to evoke the 25th.

    2. Mark Green you didn’t elect Trump, the electoral college did, Russian interference did so start recognising your system of government is incredibly prone to abuse. As someone whose country has always been a friend the only candidate I know and trust is Biden. I don’t care about progressives in this election, I care about stability. Trump will go but it’s going to take an experienced statesman to regain international confidence in America again.

    3. SRTHEMIMOPAR Sad soul. I really feel sorry for you to to not have a heart and feelings. If you do believe in a Supreme Being, you and those who think alike are definitely being frowned upon. Democrats and independents aren’t perfect, but Republicans are a lost cause. I mean how can you praise someone who intentionally hurt humans – God’s creations?

  1. So when is donny going to “obliterate” the turkish economy? Oh of course he can’t because he owns business there….but he said…and he NEVER lies…

    1. @Real Talk76 not for a moment. I am certain he has a long term sustainable plan to help everyone in this play.

    2. It’s very nasty of me, but how I wish someone would bomb his TWO towers in Istanbul. BTW, has anyone noticed that, in Freudian vision, a tower is a phallic symbol. Trump spreads them – or tries to – all over the world… he even has one in Baku; anyone here knows where Baku is?

  2. You don’t turn on your allies…Who stood with us against Isis! This is a situation where they need our Support! It’s all about business for Trump. Disgusting!

    1. @Darlene McHugh that was one of the considerations but I’m sure he’s got some other hand shake deal and informal agreement with Erdogan and Putin.

  3. Trump is doing Putins bidding. It’s crystal clear. Putin wants to destabilise Europe and Trump is doing his bidding.

    1. @Patchwork Girl , did you just say amen to a post wanting president trump and vice president pence to die? im pretty sure amen is the wrong word to use here. you people are mentally ill. take a step back and stop watching mainstream news channels who are in bed with trump who you love to hate. you people are getting played and dont even know it.

    1. John Doe
      Yes. You make the right point. Trump has only his own interests at heart. After 3 years, he hasn’t yet been able to learn what a head of state is.

  4. This was planned in advance. Trump admits it. Now he will start to intervene and broker an apparent peace deal and later say that he deserves a Nobel peace prize. Shameless animal.

    1. Wrong he just wants Americans frist to not sacrifice the ultimate let muslims sacrifice the ultimate on each other and in Minnesota tonight to stop sharia law in government destroying Americans with Marxism and the marxist squad

    1. @Fat Chants® Only by globalist libcucks who believe whatever their corporate masters tell them. Critical thinking is dying, a liberalism is killing it

    2. @GamingThisEra it’s ‘how many’ not ‘how much’. Lives are lost in war. It is unfortunate but that is fact. It is also fact that these brave men and women knew that they were risking their lives when they chose this career. Do you think no Kurds died in the war against Isis? Who will you call on when the Isis prisoners are out again and terrorising the world? (and let’s face it the U.S. will be on the top of their list). Because the people keeping them in check are dead because they were abandoned? Pulling out has devalued the sacrifice that all those American Soldiers made because it’s basically undone all the work up til now. A true diplomat would have at least tried to find a better solution than to knowing take action that would more than likely lead to the deaths of people who were once allies. It’s unconscionable to do such a thing. Trump has no interest in anything but himself and his pockets. He’s a disgrace.

    1. Not necessarily, some of the Kurds may have gotten to safety, and planned how they’ll join ISIS and take down the deceitful Americans who left them for dead.

  5. It’s called genocide, Trump genocide. Murder. Trump murder. Somewhere, somehow, there’s dirty money involved forTrump. There’s always dirty money invlolved where Trump is involved. There’s money in the pocket for our “America First” presidential imposter.

    1. @Xtontrol First off he still gets paid as President. He says he donates his salary. How do we know he won’t show his taxes?

    1. I would bet he could call murder somebody and get away with it. He’s getting away with everything else. Oh I forgot he’s above the law.

  6. So the orange buffoon is selling out his closest allies in the Middle East for his Trump tower in Istanbul.. It’s all fine and hunky dory with his MAGA cult member following

  7. Lol, Trump literally states that he has a “conflict of interest” because of his towers. Such a bad president. He’ll go down as the worst president in history.

    1. CuriousCat He will? No, he IS the worst already and Russian assets like Jon Mumford are doing their best to keep him there for Putin’s sake.

    2. @Jon Mumford What has he done policy wise except make the rich richer. I’ll wait….he hasn’t put forth any policy and is still riding the wave of the last President. You are a imbecile.
