Corruption And The Threat Since The Founding Of America | All In | MSNBC
Trump’s a criminal!!!!!!
HAHAHAH THATS A HOPE FOR YOU AND RUSSIA HAHAH WAKE UP
Trump has Betrayed our Great Nation.
BOOMING ECON MORE BUSINESS RETURNING,,,,STRONGER MILITARY JUST THINK WHY RUSSIA AND YOU AND DEMON RATS DONT LIKE IT WAKE UP THINK STOP BEING FOOLED USED BY OUR ENEMY !!!
Only democrats are racist, go to Trump rally all are welcome. That is purposefully ignored by Commie news propagandist. The American MAD, Media AND Democrats betray the Americans daily. You are a Russian bot with multiple IDs creating drama for vodka and wood to burn in Siberian hovel/gulag.
Brian Wurch I spoke a few times on YT with republicans, one called Obama the nigerian, another called the democrats a socialist islamic party… they are so predictable. And you talk about commies ? Your comment is pitiful and just disobliging for russians.
@Brian Wurch haha trump in rally gave shootout to Mexican and his kkk supporters start chanting build that wall. all racist support trump. he’s racist as F too
When Trump isn’t cheating at golf, he’s stealing from the American people.
AMEN!
what time do they make you go to bed at the mental asylum j walsh? nite nite a hole!
Playing golf w/ Giuliani’s son who is paid $95,000 on America’s payroll.
Rene no way Lynch
Terrific. In the meantime Trump is still cheating the American people. All your pathetic insults don’t change that. See how that works?
If Traitor Trump is really looking for corruption, then he should look into an infinity mirror. He’ll find an infinite amount of corruption staring right back at him.
Trump isn’t interested in fighting corruption, because he IS corruption. He is the embodiment of corruption, in all of its manifestations.
Precisely!
David J Right on again, David! Trump has been corrupt his entire miserable life! 🇺🇸☑️
Israel prime minister got charged with corruption. .wonder which other leader is next.
The entire Republican party.
YOU AND RUSSIA HAVE SAME IDEAS CAUSE HAVOC WITH PUTIN FED LIES AND YOU GOT SUCKED IN WAKE UP THINK !!
@Richard Hammonds Have you lost it? Babe Netanyahu has been well known in his country as corrupt for years. He is little more than Israel’s version of Trump.
The solution to a candidate REPEATEDLY attempting to rig an election and harm his opponents is NOT to have an election. The only answer is to IMPEACH him and remove him from office like the Constitution tells us to do.
For the 2016 election, TRUMP is ON TAPE… “Russia if you are listening?” And Trump is ON TAPE with Lester Holt saying he fired Comey cause he was investigating him for the “Russier thing.” How many times did Trump rail against Jeff Sessions ON TAPE because Sessions got caught hiding foreign contacts and had to recuse himself from the investigation? TRUMP told George Stephanopoulos ON TAPE that he would illegally take foreign help to win an election again! How many times have you heard chants to “Lock her up!” despite at least two of the investigations led by Republicans finding no cause to do so??? Individual #1 is ON TAPE with Michael Cohen creating a FAKE company to launder HUSH MONEY to multiple people right before the election. They also took ILLEGAL campaign contributions from companies like Novartis and AT&T. The Trump family can no longer run any charities cause they defrauded it with campaign violations. How many of his Campaign members were Indicted??? Reportedly, they took illegal campaign contributions from people like Lev Parnas too. How many Obstructions of Justice did Mueller report??? 10 instances, I think. I suppose the Over 120 contacts between the Trump campaign and Russians was just a coincidence too!!!
For 2020, we have TRUMP soliciting President Zelensky to investigate his political rival in the official TRANSCRIPT of the call which TRUMP himself released!!! Then, we have TRUMP ON TAPE asking Ukraine AGAIN to specifically investigate his political rivals! And for good measure also asking ON TAPE for China to help him go after his political enemies in order to rig the election too! Then, we have TRUMP directly ON THE CALL telling Zelensky to talk to Rudy Giuliani AND BARR about doing him a favor though on those BIDEN INVESTIGATIONS and Crowdstrike investigations. He didn’t ask Ukraine to do any investigations that didn’t involve him politically! 12 witnesses testified UNDER OATH, ON TAPE that they were either fighting against or implementing a quid pro quo because there was a connection being made between getting the meeting and getting the Congress designated money released with doing the President his personal favors! The Republican Senate Leader, Moscow Mitch is refusing to let the Senate vote on things that would prevent election fraud and prevent more cyber attacks!!!
So, if you can trust an ELECTION with Trump as a candidate in it… YOU ARE A HECK OF A LOT MORE TRUSTING THAN I AM!!!
We have to impeach him to set a standard for future presidents. If we allow this behavior to become the norm, we can just kiss our ideal of a representative democracy goodbye.
“The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.”
How about you can put lipstick on a pig ( Trump) but it’s still a pig.
He wears nice suits but he’s still completely disgusting.
@j walsh : The dRumpf piggies are feeding out of the public trough.
@j walsh he stinks worse morally
It’s weird seeing people on tv without fake teeth
Trump is stupid imagine a real corrupt president in the level of Hitler but with more stealth! Trump has proved it would be a walk in the park for that guy to take a hold of the country.
Jode G only if they were republican with control of the house, senate or both.
Thank God for that lol
Make no mistake, Trump is a complete sociopath.
Trump quote from 2004, a response to a Larry King Live caller asking how he handles stress. Trump: “I try and tell myself it doesn’t matter. Nothing matters. If you tell yourself it doesn’t matter, like you do shows, you do this, you do that and then you have earthquakes in India where 400,000 people get killed. Honestly, it doesn’t matter.”
Spoken like the true sociopath that he is. Trump a sociopath in every sense of the word. He meets pretty much every diagnostic criterion of a sociopath..
• Manipulative and Conning – check
They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.
• Grandiose Sense of Self – check
Feels entitled to certain things as “their right.”
• Pathological Lying – check
Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in a complex belief about their own powers and abilities.
• Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt – check
A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, he has victims and accomplices, who end up as victims. ( Cohen, Stone, Sessions, Manafort, Flynn, etc) The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.
• Shallow Emotions – check
When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion, it is more feigned than experienced, and serves an ulterior motive. Trump is outraged by insignificant matters, yet remains unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.
• Callousness/Lack of Empathy – check
Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others’ feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them.
● Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature – check
Rage and abuse. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others.
• Irresponsibility/Unreliability – check
Not concerned about wrecking others’ lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed. Trump blamed Dems for his government shutdown, even after he said he would take full responsibility for the shutdown. Trump threw the crowd at his rally under the bus for chanting “send her back” even though they were only repeating his own words and beliefs.

Thanks for this analysis. You are so right and the exemples you mentioned are accurate.
Not true. The term sociopath refers to violent portion of the ASPD end of the Cluster B spectrum. Think Tony Soprano. The “non violent portion” are the cunning, highly manipulative, well educated, and stone cold lack of emotion, let alone empathy of any sort. These are psychopaths. Think Bernie Madoff, Steve Mnuchin and the Widow Foreclosure scandal, and even Adolf Hitler was not physically violent.
Absolutely. People don’t want to acknowledge this. They say dementia. No. This is pure psychopathic narcissism.
Who would have imagined back in the founding fathers’ time that the biggest threat to America’s existence would be a illiterate, incompetent, mentally challenged, narcissistic conman with zero ties to reality whatsoever?
Or him having a “republican” Party that’s corrupt to the core enabling him?
Or the GOP zombies chanting…MUST VOTE FOR THE BIG FAT BULLY WHITE GUY..
Marc Emson
Well, I was thinking that they really understood human nature and had the foresight to know this was possible.
It’s going to take years to recover from this mess.
Fox has to be shut down!
To keep stability.
When the mob boss takes the highest office of power, the national security and integrity are at stake. Trump and his gang of GOP criminals are working in tandem to destroy the country and foundations of freedom and democracy.
Trying to fight republicans with knowledge is like…well nothing in the world can be compared to it. They simply don’t want it.
Well, we know everyone that’s corrupt by those complicit in Trump’s behavior, namely most/all elected republicans.
What do the Republican care about the intent of the founders’ intentions.
“Divide and “Conquer,”
The UN Globalist love it and and the way the Democrat Party, like you, are doing
their work for them.
It turns out that other countries have together helped Ukraine more than the U.S. has, and the Trump administration knows it. On Thursday, David Holmes, a political counselor to the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine, told the Intelligence Committee that the embassy researched the burden-sharing question in August. They told the White House that since 2014, the U.S. has provided Ukraine about $3 billion in aid, while European Union nations have provided a combined $12 billion.
This should be a required course in our schools.
