    1. @M G good luck convincing the cult. Trump could admit it himself and they would find some way to justify it or flat out deny it happened. These people are so delusional. I’ve never seen anything like it.

    1. @Joe Rubio I was paraphrasing. But yes, this has CBS smelly little fingerprints all over it. What a pile of crap.

    2. @Kevin K. Trump’s a thug surrounding himself with thugs.
      That explains his fake over the top tough guy bull.

  1. Wow, kudos to MSNBC for getting this interview. More damage control coming. They will run out of fingers plugging all the holes!

    1. @Mind Freshener well if you believe Maddow is a transvestite, that immediately proves you don’t know what you’re talking about. You punched yourself first.

  2. Trump if you Dont want pay Tax , Move to Russia and Your lover Dictator Vladimir Putin Forgive you Tax! But you have to share your income!!!!

    1. Its True, I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump is getting advice from Putin on how to by himself institute constitutional reform in the USA (he can’t) to get rid of the impeachment clause (he has already tweeted a few days ago that he wants SCOTUS to decree impeachment illegal and “unconstitutional”) and get rid of the “phony emoluments clause”, and then Trump gets the entire US government to resign and he will appoint congress members and senators himself. Finally freeing the American people from the burden of voting.

      Go read what happened in Russia a few hours ago.

      Putin is changing the Russian constitution before he leaves office, he is currently the president, to weaken the presidency now that he can’t run for president again, he is moving all the power to the legislative and the prime ministership, which he will be voted into, and he has forced the entire Russian government to resign to reappoint everyone himself.

    2. Putin would arrange for a 38 caliber brain tumor for the Orange Fuhrer just to shut him up. Can you say “There’s a dark hole in Siberia with your name on it tRump.

    3. he paid 13 million in one year, not including staff payroll tax, property tax etc. he pays more in one month that you will pay in your lifetime

    4. @lee madden
      Hey! You have proof of that? Why not let us see all of his taxes so we can see what a great taxpayer he is.

    1. @robert h trump is the enemy of the constitution of the United States of America and in November he will be voted out by the people and those who are currently supporting him are enemies of the country as defined by the constitution …you seem to be close to that definition, why do you support trump and why do you hate the USA as the constitution seeks to protect it from people like trump and you?

  3. Wow! How much more does the ‘system’ need to hear and have placed in front of it? Trump has got to go. He is no good for America. It no longer matters the degree of illicit behaviour he has engaged in, he is divisive and has and continues to detroy America and it’s standing as a global power. He is not a unifier. He has to go.

    1. pffft, Trump won’t wait until tomorrow. He’s on top of almost everything impeachment and will through a tantrum.

    1. @ivan tavarez funny, some trump supporters will post pictures of trump next to black celebrities like 50 cent as some sort of proof he’s not racist. Yet with the multiple pictures next to criminals, trump is “just friendly”???? 😂😂😂😂

  4. *“The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all.”* – Valery Legasov
    _Trump has told over 15,000 LIES while in office._

    1. @Roger Jones Can you give us a few examples of the “50,000 lies” told by “the news”? Or did you mean Fox “News”?

    1. @waylander75 No grave…it will become a shrine for the white supremacists….just chop him up and throw him in the river

    2. @Mae Gary actually, the lying started well before his presidential campaign announcement, pretty much his whole life. The “John Barron” PR calls for one, the “small loan” from his father, Forbes mag rankings, his tax files, his bankruptcies, all the lawsuits he “won”, his “charities”, the overpriced paintings “bought” by his admirers (himself), just to name a few. You know, all his “puffery” as his supporters call it so they can maintain a clear conscience as they continue ignoring ALL HIS LIES, including the more egregious ones! I just love when one of his cult followers protests that 45 “doesn’t lie”, & I then realize that their infatuation with The Donald from The Apprentice is so large that they’re in too deep & will never be able to see the narcissistic conman for who he really is. Sad, really.

  5. “He lied.” Oh, no Lev, say it ain’t so! Seriously though, Mr. Parnas’s matter-of-fact, totally deadpan delivery is a “drop the mic” kind of statement.

  6. Look, an immigrant can do something that certain native-born people like Trump and Moscow Mitch never will – come clean.
