    1. @geraldillo Was disappointed that he failed to step up as a very brave American volunteer to test.

  1. Can you imagine how horrendous a compilation of all the terrible things he said and did would be? And to think that he still has sizable support in the US. Scary how divided our country is and how one of the nuttiest in our nation was our president.

    1. @JS Carlos Rivas is right. You have no ammo firing blanks in full retreat. 8.5 inflation.

    2. @The BrotherHood you sure you want to go to war with your neighbors for $3 less at the tank? Use a lil common sense king you think China or Russia wouldn’t take advantage of that

    3. Craig do you really think shutting down a pipeline and marketing to the world our southern borders are open during a pandemic is a great idea? I’m sure you voted for Biden. Hope you are happy with your new gas prices.

  2. The Cantaloupe Caligula “presidented” like he was playing the lead villain in a 1960s’ episode of Batman. **Time to implement stricter restrictions on who can run for the executive office? Maybe make candidates take a test to show they have read and actually understand the Constitution and how each branch of government works before being allowed on the ballot…. ? Something, because we are quickly slipping into an Idiocracy.

  3. Always concerned, but never willing to do,or say anything in that God awful administration…..until time to make money.

    1. @helencats1 I guess the same ones that would actually pay to hear him say it in a book….too little, too late.

  4. Exactly why so many on the right worship him, the mentality of a 5 year old. “When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same. The temperament is not that different.” – D. Trump

  5. Imagine this guy in charge during Cuban Missile crisis. He would have nuked USSR and said I don’t who did it on camera.

    1. nis…….trump…’but it was beautiful…you should have seen the crowds…they loved me’

    1. @mike swiental I agree it sounds ridiculous. But how do you know that he didn’t actually say it?

    2. @S
      Ridiculous is the keyword.
      Just as ridiculous as when he would nuke a hurricane. 😂

    3. @Oneshothunter that’s my point. But somehow I think that Mike hasn’t been keeping up with his craziness over the last six years or so

    4. @S i go on precedent”= every negative quote they said Trump made turned out to be flase or out of context-or edited.

    5. @S when Trump was quoted as saying “there are good people on both sides” in Charlottesville it was edited and taken out of context—Right before his press conference, he was watching FOX news like i was. Fox featured a local news story where they interviewed a black woman who was a member of the Charlottesville historical society. se said many members want the statue to stay-Then comes the conference where Trump says ” There are good people on both sides of this issue” the repeates because he was interuppted;” there are good people on both sides and i am not talking about the neo nazis or skinheads”-All the leftist media showed the edited qoute only , calling Trump a racists, like a giant well oiled machne, hour after hour, day after day for weeks, pushing the fake narrative.

  6. What do we expect from someone who advocated drinking bleach and nuking hurricanes. He is a very stable genius after all.

  7. Remember that this was the same strategy he had for hurricanes. He probably would have tried it on COVID had he had a second term.

  8. Trump: “Look, we’ll do quietly to bomb, maybe we can put sombrero and a huge mustache on our planes to disguise and silencer on the patriot missile, so nobody knows it’s the U.S or could hear the explosions.”

  9. “The worst thing about Trump isn’t what we’ve learned about him, it’s what we’ve learned about our family, friends and neighbors who support him.”

  10. I don’t know what I’m more sick and tired of, . Hearing about another crime that Donald Trump committed while in office., Or the DOJs lack of action towards this dragged out stressfull abuse we as Americans continue to face.

  11. I love how all these officials kept their mouths shut about all the insanity while it was going on, then dropped the info in their books when they could profit from recounting these incidents. It should be criminal to withhold info that threatens the country.

  12. The whistle blower laws need to be amended. If someone has knowledge of such things and fails to report it, then they should also be held responsible… including members of congress. Keeping quiet and saving it for books is to put yourself interest before our country and put our democracy at risk. There are plenty of people who knew of these concerns or his plans and not one of them said a thing.

  13. “No one would know it was us.” – Donald

    3 hours later

    “I singlehandedly got rid of all the drugs and drug cartels in Mexico.” – Donald

    1. Do you imagine , if Trump says no one would know we have done that , I don’t want to imagine what he has done to too many people and no body knows of it .

    2. @Richard Ivonen nominated for 3 Nobel peace prizes. Jeez, you people are so gnenius.

  14. I think we’ve reached the point where words just fail to describe Trump’s utter lunacy.

  15. No one would know it was us? Even when Mexico discovered what missiles had been used, his constant need to brag about everything makes that impossible.

    1. @Zachary Mayer I assume I misunderstood your comment. I thought you meant that trump didn’t say that.

    2. @Backpain In Your Area I don’t know what silly accusations you are talking about, everyone that I have heard has been true. You can try to defend that orange guy but we aren’t buying it. Why aren’t you over at Fox news troll

  16. For nut cases like this, new screening and thorough vetting processes need to happen with no waivers enacted into law so that this never happens again!

    1. Imagine him being president during this war. 😂😂🤣 “RIP Ukraine🕯” would be our profile status.

    2. That’s a nice thought but if we seriously vetted candidates to weed out the dumbest and craziest, the GOP would no longer have anyone to choose from.
