    1. @thenameisyosh Haha! Yeah, and he said he’d never play golf while in office, he’d be too busy. Then he went out and played three times as much golf as Obama ever did and spend 4 times as much tax payer money doing it – at HIS golf resorts!!! So, Make Am… Trump Great Again… yeah. Haha!

    2. @Susie Chevalier Your democrat party of death means nothing to me, for you support and have colluded in the slaughter of the unborn children in the womb.

    3. @Johnny Lightning Sure- that’s what we’re all about 🙄. Maybe should look at ripping out women’s uteruses and ripping children away from their parents at the border before you get all judgy.oh and PS Biden’s family and Kamala’s family look a lot more classy and loving than Trumpty Dumbty, his three wives and his porn stars. Yuck. Who’s for family values? No one voting for TRUMP.

  1. Oh this is just the tip of the iceberg. He will be taking down everyone with him. Polish up your resumes no one is safe in that administration.

    1. @orator
      Compliments of Biden’s butt buddies at the CCP. They accepted the gift of American ingenuity from every american institution, and most politicians, then tried to kill us when the Donald, with help from Pompeo, took it back. Trump has um by the balls. Blame the unemployment on Democrat lockdowns. Not Trump.

    2. @Yo Mama
      And yet, you bring him up.
      That’s because you know it was too easy to declare biden a winner. There’s only one person in this whole fiasco out on the golf course, irrelevent indeed.

    3. @K3r0411
      Speaking of logic. All Republican states finished the counting on election day, as mandated by law. Why are 13 Democrat states still up in the air? Could it be….oh I don’t know….that there ARE no mail in votes. Duh. They COULDN’T cheat. But Republicans went into democrat states and flipped some. ONLY in an avalanche of red , blue wasn’t even close.

    1. He fired Esper because he wouldn’t send the military in to squelch demonstrations. Also, Esper, who has at least a modicum of integrity, would never agree to Trump’s bringing in the military when he refuses to concede.

    2. *mark my WORD TRUMP WILL RESIGN BEFORE JAN 20TH SO MIKE PENCE CAN PARDON HIM*

    3. @Lane Kelly Nah. That’s really a lame narrative, Toots. Lacking in imagination and definitely lacking in facts. Esper is just one of a long, long, LONG line of Trump staff and appointees who had to squelch their gag reflex to work for Trump at all.

      Trump really hates anyone who dares to disagree with anything he says or does. No matter how whacked and wrong he is. He screams, rants and stomps his feet, then fires people from a distance because he doesn’t have the guts to actually confront anyone face to face. Then he says, “Oh, a coffee boy. I hardly knew him.” Yeah, uh huh…. Go home, Donny Dim Bulb. It’s over. You’re FIRED.

  2. He’ll be lashing out a lot over the coming days. I expect there will be more people getting fired.

    Wonder if he wanted to gas the people celebrating outside the White House and Esper said no.

  3. If anyone believed he was a good president, open your eyes and see reality.
    He is a petulant and insecure baby!

    1. @denis charette IKR. That was the best part about trump is how transparent he was. The way he answered questions from the media with nothing but honesty and respect should be the standard to which all other presidents strive for!!

    2. @Connie Hahn CONNIE BABY I GOT GRIP. BIDEN WILL TAKE DOWN WALL. BEFORE PEACE COMES. THERE GIVE ALL BENEFITS TO NON CITIZENS. YOU WILL LOSE FIRST AMENDMENT. THERE BE LOCK DOWN TO START FEAMA THE FAR LEFT IS NOT DEMOCRAT OR REBULICAN BOTH NEED TO BE TAKEN DOWN. THERE COMUNIST HATE UNITED STATES. YOU WONT GET STIMULOUS. LIKE I SAID HE CHEATED NOT BEATED. ITS NOT S9METHIN TO GET GRIP ON. ITS LOOKEN OUT SIDE OF BOX PEACE

    3. @Mildred Harrison thats right i bet he shut sting operation down on military planes showen by rader the votes were rigged. This why hes first to go. He screwed TRUMP AND COUNTRY

    1. @C G You mean like 3rd grader police officers managing the flow of Automobiles at busy intersections? Adorable, but no.
      Also: You got a guilty conscience or something? You brought that up like you can’t get the idea of kids out of your head. We’re gonna need to know your location, Chester. Because you don’t belong within 500 yards of a school or Chuck E Cheese if you can’t stop fantasizing about kids, mate, and the Authorities should know the risk you pose

  4. Welcome to the discard: This is the final stage of the narcissist’s temper tantrum. They discard everyone that crosses them before leaving. It’s going to be a 72-day narcissistic temper tantrum played out on a world stage.

    1. @Marvin Guigar You try to paint Biden as abusive but make excuses for a blatant abuser of women and many just about everyone he comes into contact with. But you probably don’t recall Trump and all his accusers and his access Hollywood video talking about women abusively..Trump’s offenses far outweigh anything Biden may have done and there is plenty of evidence for all to see. Take your baseless argument elsewhere.

    2. @Somewhere you’re avoiding the situation here two women accused Joe Biden of sexual harassment. They went to Kamala Harris and she believed them. She sold them out to become vice president. What’s your thoughts on that or you don’t want to comment because you don’t want to recognize that Joe Biden is a pervert

    3. @Marvin Guigar As a domestic abuse survivor I am acutely aware of bad character and good character. Donald Trump embodies the actions and behaviors of an abuser. Joe Biden does not. Stop trying to manipulate the situation. and twist the narrative. I’m over it. Your accusations are baseless. Buh Bye.

    4. @Marvin Guigar thats exactly what pence did when he became vice president. He set aside trumps divorces, affairs, and all his cases of sexual abuse against him just to become vice president. Why should it matter if Harris did the same thing if what you say is true?

  5. The Chump needs to be twenty-fifthed.
    His increasingly (if that’s possible) erratic behavior is a danger to us all.

    1. @Sheila Boston Man, what is it about Americans and their amendments? Honestly, I don’t think a day goes by that I don’t hear an American say “the [XYZ] amendment” or “constitutional rights”.

    2. @Susie Smith sorry i misinformed you – my head went through presidents not amendments. But yes he is still endangering our democratic process, and this country needs unity but also progression towards equity.

    3. The twenty-fifth amendment to the Constitution of the United States provides for Presidential succession in cases other than the death of a sitting President.
      Typically, a President might surrender the office temporarily in an incident such as the assassination attempt against President Reagan, and later when Reagan had anaesthesia for colon cancer surgery, and I believe Clinton and W. Bush also used the twenty-fifth when they had colonoscopies or other procedures in which they would have been put under.
      A more extreme example would have been when President Woodrow Wilson suffered a debilitating stroke; if the twenty-fifth had been in place at that time the Vice-President would have been sworn in, but as it was, the First Lady, Edith Wilson, began handling the President’s duties, reading his correspondence and reporting his reactions and decisions during much of the United States’ involvement in World War One.
      There are provisions in the twenty-fifth amendment that provide for succession in the event that the President should become mentally unstable.
      Again, the twenty-fifth amendment was not in place in 1965, when a journalist named Fletcher Knebel published the novel NIGHT OF CAMP DAVID, which proposed a fictional answer to the question: “WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE PRESIDENT OF THE U.S.A WENT STARK RAVING MAD?”
      Keep in mind, this book was published fifty years before Trump announced his presidential campaign.
      The parallels between Knebel’s novel and the real-life Trump administration echo the New York TIMES 1965 book review that pronounced the novel’s plot to be “…a little too plausible for comfort.”
      Hope this helps.

    4. @UCcWZfeIiFEfhsIWIy98pZZA Not assassinated. It is a reference to the twenty-fifth amendment, a legal procedure by which a mentally unstable President can be removed from office.
      His behavior throughout his administration has oscillated between insane and criminal, in every case, every decision, every executive order.

    1. @Cody Graham …President Trump is the most Anti-War President in history….He tried to pull us out of wars in the Middle East that Obama and George Bush put us into.

    2. @santa fe, bantayan island life Nah. You do know that’s all crap they made up, right? NONE of that is true. They already tried all that in several courts and guess what? The judges threw them out. REPUBLICAN judges, so…. try again. Try not to lie or repeat fake news, okay?

    3. @Chris Smith Haha… yeah, except when he’s selling arms to Saudi and flying drones over Yemen, killing civilian children and selling arms to Turkey, when he can and… well, you get the drift. Unless, of course, he’s betraying our decades long allies the Kurds and breaking our word, besmirching our honor as a nation.

  6. Trump to troops: “I’m going to bring you home by Christmas. I want you to do me a favor though…”
    Considering how his brain “works”…

    1. Get ready

      We are seeing a symptom or a strategy of a civil war followed by a military takeover, America! Take heed!

    1. President Trump Won the Election already… he holding for trapping the Criminals exposed themselves..
      He won like 2Q16 and 2Q2Q
      Get over it.. you’re watching fake news.. propaganda go research..

    1. @JV Barr would, with no supporting evidence other than Trump lost. That’s how they do it in Russia by the way. Follow the ideology rather than the evidence.

    2. @harlanglass Indeed. I expect he will bring out his tanks and push you people to the brink of full on terror now. And will the GOP ever stop him? And besides he can’t be That Loser Guy he slammed so many Americans with due to his fragile ego & brain; his niece told us this fact. He can’t take consequences, nor reality; can’t say Sorry or accept failure as Daddy Dearest used that as a stick to brow beat any & every sign of weakness/ aka humanity, feelings & empathy. Wonder how Ivanka & his sons are coping with the exposure that daddy IS THE Biggest Loser, Greatest Liar & most deluded garbage man & unPresident ever.

    1. Why don’t u Communists News Network radicals ask ur demonRAT Uncle Al Gore why HE DIDN’T CONCEDE N 2000 (for the good of the country—LOL).

    2. IT ONLY GETS STOLEN IF YOU LET IT!
      DO NOT PREEMPT OR TAKE FOR GRANTED ANYTHING RE US ELECTIONS 2020

      THERE ARE MANY LEGAL AND OTHER TROUBLING ISSUES TO BE RESOLVED

      “LAW MAKERS NOT THE MEDIA ARE THE DECIDING FORCE”
      IN ANY DEMOCRACY BASED COUNTRY
      “LET LEGAL PROCESSES OPERaTE”

      🧧WHY ARE DEMOCRATS SO AFRAID OF LEGAL PROCESS ?

    1. So I will write it like a tourist. 
      No one should take anyone serious if a certain person feels that there will be creaming vanilla people with boom bang stick
      hitting the streets. Even though Trump does have high support by the people, it doesn’t mean that those people will go shooting, looting, thieving, pandering to the media and creating Chaos like Bloodshed Loot and Murder, “Anger Tards In Funny Aprons and other communists did. Settle Oregan, LA California, In New York City, Atlanta Georgia and so on; not one Trump supporter group did that.  

      There was a few spats but it was started by some Biden supporter, communist or some other person with agendas. It is one thing that a person doesn’t like Trump. But it is another thing when certain people come up with crazy talk and give crazy ideas. That is crazy talk and crazy way of thinking. I am sure once Trump leaves the office, it will be just fine and peaceful.

    2. somehow i can imagine see a new one of those ytps of hit ler taking off his glasses and raging around his generals come up based around this lol

    3. Classic…funny, but most likely true anyway. Esper was the one who ordered active duty troops off the streets. The power of the DEFSEC, not agent trumpski.

    4. @Hal Davis you forgot racist though. I was jumping out of C-130s before you were born. Racism is still rampant in the Army ranks. Although, we’re not as bad as the navy pukes and chair farce.

    1. Is he sorting out the military to defend his refusal to accept the election results ?
      Somebody has to ask the question.

    2. @Marvin Guigar Trump’s not erratic, spastic, illogical, delusional, vindictive, or prone to a knee jerk reaction at all. That’s been my mantra for 5 years.
      It did not work at all.

    3. @Marvin Guigar Do you take a breath when you talk? Normally a period at the end of a sentence would allow a breath.

    1. Oh this is just the tip of the iceberg. He will be taking down everyone with him. Polish up your resumes no one is safe in that administration.
