  1. Narcissistic Personality Disorder
    Grandiose sense of self-importance
    Preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
    Belief they’re special and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people or institutions
    Need for excessive admiration
    Sense of entitlement
    Inter personally exploitative behavior
    Lack of empathy
    Envy of others or a belief that others are envious of them
    Demonstration of arrogant and haughty behaviors or attitudes This is Donald Trump

  2. Trump thinks that putin has his back. What he doesn’t realize is that putin made an investment, a purchase, that came with certain obligations. On some level trump knows that he doesn’t have a choice in doing putin’s bidding. So he lies to himself and pretends that putin is looking out for him…but ultimately putin is looking out for putin.

    1. The president has some huge loan payments due in China in 2022. We could be in serious trouble if he remains in office.

    2. Putin doesn’t want America great again. Even a numbnut like Trump should understand that, but… Donald is really stupid.

    3. The entire Trump-Putin fairy tale has been long since debunked. Many leftists are still in denial.

    1. Yep. Putin-as-Daddy is speculative psychobabble and a distraction from the real questions. The manipulation is based on some form of blackmail of a very serious financial or personal nature.

    2. Ro G Putin gets something much worse on tRump than a pee tape. At this stage a pee tape wouldn’t do any damage to tRump. It must be evidences of large scale money laundering, or using his hotel rooms as spying assets on high profile people. That must be something criminal.

    1. Donna Delgiorgio : It’s not just, “fascination,” or, “fixation,” any more. We all know Putin’s got evidence; mostly financial. He’s under Putin’s thumb and terrified of him. But, it does explain why trump’s playbook is pure Stalin.
      Trump KNOWS he’s going to jail, as does Barr and the rest of his Cabinet. That’s why they don’t plan on ALLOWING elections. And, that’s why they’re building a small army of unconstitutional, illegal, Secret Police units, which are being expanded as we speak. They have one purpose: Protect the regime when they refuse to allow elections. You need to get them OUTLAWED, America. Today!

    2. Can you imagine the the pay off if you said ” oh , its so BIGLY” !
      OH. Wait , we dont need to imagine ! Wife # 1. $$$$$$$$
      Wife # 2 $$$$
      Wife #3 $$$$$an counting
      Mistresses and one nighters
      $$$$$
      Not worth any if it , in my book

    3. @Jesse A It’s a fact, without Russian interference he wouldn’t even be the President! So no, we wont let go of facts and the truth, we also know from the Mueller report that over 100 members of Trumps campaign team were communicating with Russia, that is not normal fyi.

    4. @Tidbit In any event let’s try to move forward since we can’t begin to change the past… He’s in office now won’t be there forever… We can look forward & try to get congress to enact some proposals that make sense & could actually make a difference in the future of all Americans… Instead of wishing Hilary would have won… Sorry but that ship has sailed…

  3. putin has trump by the pillar and stones. America will belong to putin, if trump is re-elected.

    1. The media narrative onslaught has worked , all the Democrats are convinced that lies are now truth.

    2. Trump has no intention of leaving office. People really need to get use to that. Do you really believe trump got into power for just one term? Do you think trump will allow himself to be laughted at and the embrassment of just serving one term? Obama got two terms, trump will make sure he stays in office. Putin is schooling him on the role of dictatorship. Welcome to dictatorship America you played straight in the hands of trump and Putin and your racism was all it took.

    3. @Rick James Thanks for noticing, you too. BTW, I LOVED that funky-assed bass line you used to play!

  4. Biden needs to jail Trump and all of his minions including Barr. The November Docket is coming. Poor thing.

    1. It’s a nice thought now … could be a reality if he’s deposed … orange jumpsuits, chains, etc … Wow

    2. @Belladonnas Art of Healing Stop reading fake news, step out of your bubble and come into the real world.

    1. Actually Putin isn’t his idol he’s his handler, Russia finally got an agent in the white house # TRAITORTRUMP

    2. “Kim Jong Un speaks and his people sit up in attention. I want my people to do the same.”
      -Trump, 6/15/2108

    1. @PersonWomenManCamera Tv You know alot is two words and I know better than to vote for any Democrat. We’re even!!!

  5. Yeah, Putin is helping him cheat in the elections, it’s far greater than Putin being a role model, it’s wicked, and bizarre. Thanks!

  6. He doesn’t spend much time in the oval office. He goes golfing more than anyone else, maybe more than pros. Oops. Bad choice of words.

    1. Jeremy teed I don’t see a problem with the confederate flag, as a matter of fact nobody has had a problem with it until this offended culture y’all created and they assaulted NOBODY, besides what it lasted a few days? A week? These anarchists have been at it for over 2 months trying to goad trump into using force. Your comparing civil disobedience to terrorism

    2. @Edaloy27 The fact that you don’t see a problem with the confederate flag just proves your ignorance of history and your total lack of knowledge. Honestly, go back to high-school and earn your GED.

    3. Tidbit if you think the confederate flag is racist, then what do you think of the US flag?under that flag slaves were purchased, traded, stripped of their dignity and. worked like animals. People like you heap the sin of slavery solely on the confederacy to separate themselves from your forefathers responsibly for slavery. It’s a typical liberal tactic, blame someone else. Yeah I should get my GED, I’ll put it next to my engineering degree.

    4. @Edaloy27 thats simply not true…republicans wanted the flag BANNED decades ago during the civil rights movement..when they weren’t the party of racism…and here’s the thing..the confederate Flag would probably not be an issue if RACISTS Didnt carry it while they perform their prejudice…and if you don’t have a problem with the confederate flag then I guess you don’t have a problem if Muslims wave Al Qaeda flags either right?

    5. Jeremy teed I searched for the 2 deaths and assaulted nurses, couldn’t find anything, if true, I don’t abide by that or any intimidating posture by any group. But that was 4 months ago, and they’re not burning cities down and assaulting people, while MSM and Democrats deny it. The protesters in Michigan just want to get back to work, your anarchists in Portland, Seattle, Oakland do not work, they want chaos and destruction

  7. “The media’s the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they control the minds of the masses.”

    Malcolm X
