    1. Dee Dee
      The economy is so good that America is $1 trillion further in debt than we were two years ago. The “stable genius “inherited $420 million from daddy and still managed to go bankrupt. Go figure.

  1. Does trump really think that anyone but his base believes his unbelievable lies? I mean c’mon. Nothing he say even sounds like there’s a grain of truth in it. He’s like a Flat Earther when he explains things.

    1. Flat-earthers give better reasoning behind their beliefs than Trump could ever do. Trump only incoherently rants at a level his base can understand.

  2. making AMERICA go back to the economy of the 1930s should be his mantra at his rallies. The racist king of presidents has a rat infested cabinet

    1. Any science geeks in the room have a time machine? We can send Agent Orange back to his beloved Nazi 1930s!

    1. Hey Marley….. Your TDS is starting to show. Get some help now…..TRUMP will be president until after 2024….. Nothing you can do about it….. Just go to your “Safe Space” and wait out the NEXT 5+ YEARS…… Just hold your breath….. Will be over soon……LMAO !!!!

      TRUMP IN 2020 !!! MAGA !!! KAGAlways !!!

    2. He is the hero of not only a day. He is a hero who will be followed by many like him. He is setting a precedence that will haunt Donald Trump through his re-election campaign. The rise of the American people are in the making! We, who watches you from other countries, are waiting for this uprising!

    3. @Whiskeybuisness wow typical trump parrot …too funny supporting a guy that has lied to you and the American public from day one…a man that supports a guy that promised you cheap affordable healthcare and cheap affordable prescription drugs…a man that supports the guy that promised you and the American people 2 huge tax breaks…one of which basically benefited the top 1% and the second was just a lie…a man that support the guy that rolled back EPA laws that will negatively effect the environment for future generations…I can go on and on and on but I know you will not even read this but if you do…maga man do you know the descriptions given for maga: and which meaning are you meaning??

      MAGA: The definition of someone constantly fainting, laughing, and/or crying in spontaneous and irrelevant events. People who are magas tend to keep deep and dark secrets which bottle up inside and cause them to be a maga.

      A Greek term used to describe someone who thinks they are tough/cool but they really aren’t.
      “Yo, look at that guy over there, acting like hes the man…”

      “I know right? ….. What a maga!”

      Moving Against Great America is what you really mean isn’t it!!!

  3. I don’t think any American at this point in History can deny that Trump is a blatant racist. Trump represents the worst qualities humanity has to offer, Racism included. This is fact and indisputable. Trump is the worst thing to happen to America in over 100+ years.

    1. Trump’s base praise him for this. They always point out his worst qualities and remind us that that’s what they see in him.

    2. @Jeremy Backup …which, by default, suggests that they themselves possess the very same qualities that most reasonable people consider to be plain rude & ignorant!!

  4. Donald Trump has done NOTHING positive for African Americans. Unemployment is low because people who have been out of the workforce for more than 4 WEEKS and are not looking for work do not count as unemployed. People who do have jobs are working multiple jobs because they do not have good paying full time jobs that they can earn a living wage on. Trump and his justice department have stopped any progressive policies to curtail police brutality, he has cut funding for urban housing through HUD, and he has mainstreamed racism so that Black people can be subjected to more racist attacks.

  5. This is Reagan’s “Welfare Queens” accusation chickens home to roost. It’s a Mick Mulvaney/Tea Party wet dream.

  6. Not surprised he will lock children in cages why not let our children go hungry too!! I pray Nov 2020 gets here soon and we the people do the right thing for America’s future!!

    1. The internal war has started
      Anger and Pain will lead the way to total destruction and everybody will be at risk – including the innocent loved ones – Hopefully Mother Nature will drive everybody back together….

    2. @Whiskeybuisness not leaving kiddo this is my home born and raised…thanks! Remember the best thing about our country I DO NOT have to agree with you no the Pres Clown. And I also was around for President Kennedy….so have a nice day!!

    3. So how many times have he almost start war on his his 4 years 1
      How how many times did they want to impeach him 2? Last time I checked update me if I’m wrong

    4. Joan Becker —AMEN🙏 Sometimes I wish we could END this nightmare faster so we can start the HEALING process and concentrate on a VISION of a new and improve America.

      VOTE BLUE FOR OUR FUTURE 🙏

    5. Joan Becker why wait until 2020? Literally , kick him out of OFFICE today, tomorrow,next week? Need an idea how, look to Puerto Rico for a hint!

  7. The PUSSYGRABBER IS A CORNERED RAT looking to tweet his way out
    IMPEACH THE MOTHER FKER, PELOSI

    1. Joe Mofo The Speaker is doing the right things.Let all the evidence,and there are many investigations that that ether will or will not lead to(charges)Let the evidence show.Thats the coarse to Properly to proceed. I say have your ducks lined up.or you run the risk of him weaseling out of his,Walks like a duck talks like a 🦆.WFT!

    2. Adolphus Jenkins point well-taken and I don’t entirely disagree but how many more ducks does she need?

    1. Also intelligent, articulate, inclusive, fair, poised.
      Lawmaker, did not attack Trump’s character, he focused on Trump’s behaviour.

  8. MR CONALD FONDLE SWINDLER WANTS TO BANKRUPT EVERYTHING SO HE AND HIS RICH FRIENDS CAME SCOPE UP THOSE PROPERTIES FOR NOTHING

  9. Why doesn’t any reporter call him out on his bs? Interrupt him with you’re lying.. forget decorum, he obviously does.

    1. He has been called out a women reporter called him out he told her to be quit. A man reporter asked him the man question he talked in circles.

    2. Reporters are not going to do that because they have a family to feed. Unfortunately, they are just as afraid as Republican Congressmen.

    3. Steel Here sadly you’re right, although in this environment they’d probably rewarded for it.

  10. trump insults people of color and then tells them he’s done more for them than any other. Classic abuser.

  11. A truly great country takes care of it’s weakest & most vulnerable citizens. Trump’s idea is to just smash them underfoot.

    1. @SkyGemini it is sad. I asked a Trump supporter friend of mine if the saying on the statue in NYC still stands. He replied that it is time to protect his own. He is sort of intelligent but he has bought into tRump’s fear mongering.

    2. I weep for America. Now acting worse than a 3rd world country. God help America survive this….amen

  12. What a very articulate, well dressed protester. He made his point and left when requested by the police. Good on you.
