    1. @Pbh Pbh David Cay Johnson knows more than anyone would ever want to know about Trump. I don’t know how he keeps it together with all the insanity he knows about. It must feel like he live in an alternate reality (what he knows vs how Trump is perceived). If you want to hear some dirt of the tabloid variety (the kind that Johnson wouldn’t touch) check out Noel Casler. He worked on the apprentice with Trump and he has some totally insane stories that actually make sense of some of Trumps craziness.

    2. @Colin Rowling YES! Remember when Hillary brought up the fact that he didn’t pay taxes during one of the debates and Trumpy Baby retorted, “That’s because I’m smart.” One million Republican voters out there in “The Heartland” went “YEAH!!” Breaking the law when it saves you money is fully justified in their minds because prioritizing profits is a cardinal rule with right-wingers.

    3. @Jeff Czermanski I’d advise against laying your fiber optic cable anywhere near that Love Bot, you might catch a virus.

    1. @Brenda S. I knew there was something wrong with the guy way back when he was the spokesman for Macy’s. I wrote them a letter saying I refused to shop in their stores if they continued to allow that scumball to represent them.
      He’s had a really BAD reputation all his life.

    1. Trump Republicans have reached mass murderers status and it continues We the People will never forget that the Republican Party has the blood of our family members on their hands

    2. @Lydia M. Lengema I can’t believe it. So more than 250, 000 Americans who had die already is not a genocide? How you call that?
      I guess for all the trump stupid followers, that is call simply bad luck for all those who have die as they are meaningless for this government.

    3. @Javier Contreras world international said an GENOCIDE occurred when there are more than
      600 Millions of Human beings death. STOP….blaming Président Trump for this
      ConoraVirus Pandémie. You are not blaming the doctors. But a Président.
      You believed Biden/Harris won Novembre 3rd 2020.
      I hope You are not America. Kamala Harris in Oval Office, You Black and white
      MINORITIES here, America Soil. What a shame.

    1. @Bob Marshel they can’t tell these lies in court.Because lying to a judge could get your law license revoked.And no lawyer will do that for Dump.💩💩💩💩

    2. This darkness has always be there. Trump wasn’t bright enough to cover his trails and has inadvertently exposed the century worth of grift and bull manure.

    3. Yes we have been shown the true face of Evil. Time to make it disappear never to raise it’s head again. People need TO LEARN.

  1. This is all a sham, Trump knows he lost, he simply wants his base to think the election was stolen from him, so he can milk them for cash for his future legal costs.

    1. Really the only thing that’s keeping him in office is the senate. Mitch is as much to blame as Trump since he enabled all this crap.

    2. It’s being tolerated because the GOP has spent half a century equating their political party with Christianity Itself, to the point that, to many Americans, voting against the GOP is, quite literally, a sin. Look at the washed-up actor Jon Voight, who the other day said “This is a battle between righteousness and SATAN.”
      When you’re dealing with that sort of mindset, the kind of thought process that sees a political contest as a manichaean battle with apocalyptic consequences, of COURSE the average Republican-leaning voter isn’t going to care whether or not some petty laws are broken or traditional norms of behavior get stepped on. If it means establishing a dictatorship in order for the forces of Good to triumph, then they’re all for it. Just make sure Wal-Mart opens on time.

    1. Even the dictators make fun of him “trying to be one”, what a clod hopper inbred! Fidel Castro is giggling in his grave LOL!😂😂😂

    2. @A If you donate the $2,800 level to Trump you can become a member of “The Trump Family Circle”. This is where trumps “patriotism” lies.

    1. And if they do hear it, they’re just going to chant “Fake News, Fake News” over and over until the burgers are done.

  2. If GOP keeps pushing this narrative, their voters will not bother voting for them. If Democrats keep voting strong it will work out just fine.

    1. BULLCRAP. The GOP could enslave all the Christ-o-bots out there in “The Heartland” and they’d bow their heads in submission. After all, who are they but miserable sinners compared with those Blessed by God, the Rich, who are their natural superiors in all things. To the average Republican voter, they have no choice in the matter; they have all been brainwashed into believing that the Democrats are, quite literally, the party of SATAN. Who else are they going to vote for? Libertarians? Hah! Many of them are dirty atheists. Shhhh….

    2. I am very positive that Republican voters will still vote for the sham party. To think differently would be foolish, no matter how stupid that sounds/ is!

    3. @Lance Ash I’m afraid this is most likely true. Have you seen the video message the actor Jon Voight made sometime after the election? He pretty literally touches on EVERYTHING you mentioned in his support for Trump. And that includes the “Satan” part.

  3. Trump needs to be charged with crimes against humanity and other things.. The last 4 years has been plain BS and he did nothing but line his pocket. 😠😠😠😠

    1. @THE TRUTH IS OUT NOW 777
      From the very first day of his presidency he’s made more than 8 years of his salary would add up to be.

      He took $15 million out of $107 million dollars in total paid for by his followers for the inauguration and paid himself for the use of his own hotel. $15 million in the very first day of his term.

      That’s $11.8 million more than he’d get in total salary for an 8 year term in office.

      No wonder why he gives back his salary to the treasury. It’s peanuts compared with how much he makes grifting the taxpayers.

    2. @wed3k
      He didn’t have to. He made more money on his inauguration alone than he’d make in 8 years at the salary of a presidency.

      (8 years @ $400k = $3.2 million) He made $15 million by leasing his own hotel to the inauguration. That’s $11.8 million more than he’d get paid in 8 years!

      He got a total of $107 million dollars just in inaugural donations.. Why does he need a lousy $400k paycheck?

    3. @THE TRUTH IS OUT NOW 777 If you donate the $2,800 level to Trump you can become a member of “The Trump Family Circle”.

    4. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and a whole host of bankers and hedge fund managers need to be in jail too. But it ain’t gonna happen because they play the game. Tails they win, heads you lose.

  4. Donald will fight until January when he has to leave. And he’s not fighting for you. He could give a F about you. It’s all about him. Being don Jon un the king.

    1. @karmakazi219
      He’s already trying to start wars in Syria and Iran. Israel has been trying to get him to order military strikes on the Iranian nuclear enrichment plant and now that Saudi Arabia has been buying billions in US made weapons they will be able to provide a sufficient cover story for the US military to go ahead with this plan.

    2. You bet they will. If they can get away with it, the GOP will cut down all the trees in our national parks and sell that lumber for a tidy profit. After all, nothing in Life has any objective value unless it has a dollar amount attached to it. Watch out for the OSHA regulations at your place of employment; Trump will rescind all the regs he can in order to “unshackle” the hands of capitalism. Fly, Mighty Eagle, FLY HIGH!

    1. @R L T
      From the very first day of his presidency he’s been making money off of his followers and the American taxpayers.

      He made at least $15 million on his inauguration alone (out of the $107 million total his supporters paid) by holding it at the Trump hotel in DC.

      Think about it. In an entire 8 year term at $400,000 per year, he’d earn $3.2 million dollars. So in the first day of his presidency he was already $11.8 million dollars ahead. No wonder why he gives back his paycheck.. It’s peanuts compared with how much he makes from grifting.

    1. You know Independents are the overwhelmingly largest “party affiliation” in the US as of May 2020 @ 40%. Followed by registered Democrats @ 31% of the population, then Republicans @ 25%, and 4% other.

      The largest voting block continues to be the non-voter. This year, of the 239 million people eligible to vote, only an estimated 160 million votes were counted (which is still a record). Granted that doesn’t take into consideration ballots that were rejected, purged, or Trumped away.

    1. Too bad these traitors don’t give any thought to the future of their souls.
      I guess they missed the part where one REAPS what they have Sown.
      It is said the Lord has many ‘neighborhoods’ in heaven … I’m pretty sure Trump won’t end up in a house with a golden toilet. LOL… more likely a smelly latrine.

    1. The rot in the GOP preceded him, accommodated him and will continue to use him to serve their ends for as long as they can get away with it.
      You’re right though. I am an ex Republican who did not vote for Trump in either election.
      They are a criminally corrupt mob. They are dead to me, as the mob lingo goes.

    2. Leo A Menssen there is nothing Grand about the republicans these days!!! Get rid of them all!!!! They are ALL grifters and cheats, Lindsey, Mitch and the whole group,

    3. ….. thank God ! HUMANOID Trump who has fooled the world & 73 million Americans in particular, for 4 years & more has been THRUMPED ! After this, ..
      .. it will be years of EXCITING NUMEROYS COURT CHARGES FOR THIS HUMANOID IMPOSTER WHO HAS CHANGED THE HISTORY OF THE U.S. IN THE MOST DISGRACEFUL & IMMORAL WAYS….
      HE HAD WANTED TO REPLACE DEMOCRACY WITH TRUMP..ISM!!!🤣🤣🤣👎👎👎🤬🤬🤬
