Language Expert: Trump Is A Truly Inferior Person To Be Leading A Nation | The 11th Hour | MSNBC
I thought his word choices are very clear 🎶 🎶 📢 Russia..if you can hear me 🎶 🎶 or how about this jingle 🎶 📢 China.. if you’re listening 🎶 🎶 🎶 narration by Mulvaney 📢 WE DID IT..SO JUST GET OVER IT🎶🎶 and a partridge in a pear tree !
@Patriot That’s like me listing all the benefits of drinking Coke and how the brand has made the world a better place and you ask me for the website I got this information from and I reply cocacola.com
@Patriot LORD, have Mercy on your petulant soul, your childish antics and your wont to turn to outdated, stale, FALSE “news” about the “dreaded Clintons”. You aren’t giving out any “news” or elucidating anyone’s mind, “Patriot”. You sound silly and just as staunch as the stodgy Clown Brigade at the Disgraced House of the maniacal self-proclaimed King of the USA, the World, AND all the Heavenly Bodies above…😮…😯…🤨…
…😈 And BELÖW! 👹👿😈☻👹👺💩🤖👾👽🤡👿😈🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡💀👻💩👺🥳🤠🤠🤠🤫😈…
Oy Vey! Ü

🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😉
@auto biz whitehouse.gov is the official website of the White House, I knew you would deny it! Russian Hack!
Now we know how trump bankrupt a casino.
@Randy Smith Trump himself had been blocking witnesses from testifying.
Quoted from Fox News that you guys love:
”
President Trump on Tuesday defended blocking top officials from testifying as part of the House impeachment inquiry, arguing the decision was made to protect the office of the presidency and “future presidents”
and
“Democrats have subpoenaed top administration officials, including Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Energy Secretary Rick Perry, and White House acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney for records or testimony — but the administration has blocked them.”
quoted from the Atlantic:
“Trump has refused to release any impeachment-related documents to Congress. He has asserted a right to prevent all his aides and even former aides from testifying.”

@richie thach because the Democrats asked for them but allowed the Republican none of their own
@Randy Smith That’s because Trump and his administration had been literally blocking all of their witnesses to come up and for their documents. The Democrats have asked to see them but they haven’t showed up at all.
Trump has been the one blocking the witnesses from popping up, unless I’m missing something bigger.
if only we had elected Jeb. free guacamole and turtles for everyone
😂😂
Oh we have a turtle. He’s called, McConnell! 🙂
Hopefully we’ll have McTurtle soup 2020 Blue wave 🌊 🌊🌊🌊
I didn’t give him #TheD but I could have 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀 I’m no language expert but that was a poor choice of words 😂😂😂😂💀💀
Bruh!
If you’e mentally weak, the brainwashing Trump will make you believe that white is black and black is white . Night is day and day is night. Crime is the law and the law is a crime. With blindness you see and plain sight you hide. If you are not loyal to me, you will not survive.
‘That thing’…Bingo!
@Intelligently Stoopid Your handle really should just be Stoopid!
That creature
Kitchen cabinet lol
People in the background, so naive.
Ignacio Guerrero boi are you a dummy
@Sam Chiu this has nothing to do with sorowitz!
@B.J Cameron That is your choice. I do not believe he has the best interest of the American people at heart by the policies he has put forth. If by your degree you are trying to tell me not all Trump supporters are under educated. I’ll agree with you. However the ones that cheer him on when he makes fun of a disabled person have no character. And the ones that cheer him on when he hurls nicknames at people he doesn’t like are as childish as he is. And the ones that try to defend him on a political discussion by playing “deflect, deflect” know nothing about politics.

Bone Spurs is such an embarrassment to this nation.

No more than the liars at MSNBC
and their brain dead followers !!!!
@l R it sounds like you seem to think socialism and communism are one and the same. Do you understand what democratic socialism is? It’s hard to take you people seriously when you support a man who says he receives love letters from a dictator who runs gulags. Ha ha ha!
@Jeff C you believe in a man who doesn’t understand wind ha ha ha
Thank you, John McWhorter. Trump lives to degrade, insult individuals or any race that he determines isn’t worthy. It is beyond my comprehension of how Trump became President of the USA.
John McWhorter, thank you for your truthful words. I have always thought #45 was a truly inferior person. I can’t explain why so many others think he is a wonderful “Christian” man.
God himself is no respecter of persons why should we be
@Billy Some kid talking for God. The egotism of Trump’s followers is about equal to their stupidity.
Mr. McWhorter is right on point
Thank you to all the commentaries today for our Christmas Eve podcast. Merry Christmas!
Oh may God! What a very, very, nasty man!!! What kind of man talks of the deceased that way. How low can you get! Sick, so very sick!
literally how trump talks. Was this supposed to be a parody?
Benj: You people have no sense of humor. Can’t stand a joke.
I’m confident he can get a lot lower fast. Watch carefully between now and the election.
@Shawana Washington No other president talked like a child. Do you like mean people???
I know it’s very likely that I will get attacked for saying this, but I’m a conservative. Somewhat Libertarian views. HOWEVER, I’m a Pastor and I don’t believe any man should say anything like that.
That wouldn’t be right if he was joking with one person in private. To say something like that in a building with thousands of people and knowing you’re going to be broadcast nation wide, this is beyond inappropriate.
As I said, I know I may be attacked for saying I have more conservative views than a lot of you reading this. That’s fine with me. I just want to comment and say what Trump said wasn’t right, at all.
This is why I watch ALL of the news channels to inform myself and not just eat what conservative media would feed me. I’ve seen clips of this same speech on conservative media, however they haven’t played this one. Honestly, this has really upset me. It’s even upsetting me more and more, the more I’m writing and thinking about it. That’s totally inappropriate and just plain shameful for anyone to say, anywhere. For the President of the United States to say it, just multiplies it.
Our President is supposed to be a man of high integrity, morals and character. He is supposed to represent our country in a dignified manner. This certainly isn’t that.
Anyway, I’m pretty sure nobody is still reading. If you are, Merry Christmas to you and your family. I pray you all have a great time with your family and friends. God bless you all. (P.S. Please, nobody attack me for my faith. I would never attack you for your lack of faith.)
Merry Christmas
R L , I read all of your comment🤗👍🏼. Merry Christmas and happy New Year! I absolutely agree with you about Trump.
Morgan McIntosh wow. Lame O.
Nuncy Polozee says, Tr Tru Trummm Trump ca ca cannn’t ta ta talk.
You believing that you may be “attacked” just for your political views is an indictment of the sad times we live in now. You should be admonished for saying what Dotard said, not because you consider yourself a conservative or libertarian.
… his tone… so annoying… grown man whining … bawlz need to drop …. put bass in voice
Drone spurs?
Girl! From ur lips to God’s ears.
He is insecure
The man is just plain stupid. He looks stupid, says stupid things all the time, lies, and does stupid things all the time. The things he says on a regular basis CANNOT possibly come out of the mouth of a smart person. Period.
trump may steal the second election, but I will not vote for him. He reminds me of an antichrist, and his behavior proves it.🧛♂️
No. And she’s not in power anyway.
Sure was interesting how what really happened to Jeffery Epstine got brushed under the rug.
Covered up by this democratic impeachment.
Burn a fire over here to distract from the fire burning over there much?
@KingsBlade 7 Sure is interesting who stands to lose much more from his speaking out. Someone photographed several times with him and Ghislaine. Someone with a history of lewd advances towards his own daughter.
But sure, go on about democrats with a wild and unsubstantiated DEZA talking point.
@KingsBlade 7 Trump was cozy with Epstein as well.We heard his embracement of him and we heard his denial of knowing him.
@Brad Holder wow! Touche
That thing could be re-elected. Yup. Im guessing it will be. And it means my country is no longer my country.
Well I guess Putin proved his point…Democracy left in the hands of the ignorant.
The private school system definitely failed trump
