    1. @Robert Bemister Sorry, I can’t do that. Trump won’t be running in 2020. He’ll be in prison. Does that make you angry..?

    2. Tessmage Tessera 🤣you are correct, President Trump will not be running in 2020. Democrats have secured his second term for him . Happy as a lark 🇺🇸😉

  1. The problem is what are the things that we do not know about what Trump has done and is doing on a daily basses.

    1. @FTN PPG You asked and brought it up. i provided. Just because it was years ago doesn’t mean he’s above the law…. lrts just fast forward years later until we can look back on this day and say it was years in the past stop worrying about it. No that’s stupid a man is still guilty for his crimes

    2. Derek Church wow, i will ask again you got that out of my comment in pointing out we are talking about this president and what he has done and is doing now. The only response you have is that I think that previous presidents did not have to follow the law. Come on, you can do better than that by using your brain and not going to stupid places in that brain.

    3. @Derek Church You are deflecting. Ukraine has said they would look into Biden some more. Biden welcomes it and has nothing to hide obviously. He isnt deflecting and lying about anything. He admits what he did and welcomes any prosecution if a crime was committed. Trump is saying no need for investigation because I did nothing wrong. He is trying to investigate himself. Plus he has already broken the law.
      malfeasance in office
      Look it up.
      And lock him up.

    1. That’s not the case for everyone who is paranoid, but it is for Trump. He has comitted far too many ILLEGAL acts, many of which are not public knowledge.

    2. @Kevin Skiles👍 the question isn’t if you’re paranoid, the question is if you’re paranoid enough.
      But 45 is paranoid because hes a criminal.

    1. Yeah, take away his phones & give him blocks & a “Farmer Says” to play with!
      😭 don’t trust people that don’t like animals! 😳

  2. After watching this s-show for about 3 yrs, im not the least bit fazed, surprised at all. This clown thinks he’s a king abd now is vowing revenge. How long is this going to be tolerated?

    1. @American Pride Civil war may yet happen! Those who don’t learn from the mistakes of history are destined to repeat them

    1. The only one who needs guardrails is a toddler. The problem is the toddler in power. Forget the guardrails. Get the toddler out of the cockpit.

    1. ALLtwoEASY…it’s
      ALWAYS someone else’s fault. Even though they work for
      him & end up in prison, because of him.

    2. Atlantic Beach : Yup! From Devin Nunes, to Billy Barr, they ALL go in saying, “I got away with murder before. I will show Donny how it’s done. He’s gonna’ LOVE me!” A few months later, they ALL come out, saying, “You just CAN’T HELP this f**king MORON! Now we’re ALL screwed! He even screwed himself!” 🤣✌️👍

    3. ALLtwoEAZY exactly the but but hillary, Obama, fake news, deep state, socialists, immigrants, the squad, brown /black people, Liberals, elites, Avenatti, Cohen, China, lefties, muslims, Biden, Mexicans, Sharpiegate, Transcriptgate, nasty women blah blah blah is getting exhausting and lame

    1. McKittrick Hyatt : You can’t POSSIBLY, STILL be supporting Trump, NOW? Can you??? Come ohhhn, son? WHY do you hate America? Did we invade your country or something? . . . SMH 😆

  3. Can you imagine the phone calls trump had with Putin. Etc.. no wonder Trump was extremely paranoid about phone calls he was making. 🤔

    1. With Russian assistance.Faux news also.The least educated are specifically targeted by the GOP.Even Trump gets this.

  4. What’s troubling is not that his
    “guard rails” are gone…
    It’s that he needed babysitters in the first place!

    1. @MIchael Rigby What is that? World leaders have zero respect for Donald and the USA. You haven’t noticed? The free press is forbidden to indulge idiots unless they are watching FOX.

    1. fedgov is a criminal syndicate like the world has never seen…..plenty of figureheads waiting to be ineffective on purpose…

  5. “We all know what we used to do with whistle blowers. Don’t we?” Well, yes, Boss. We used to make them sleep with the fishes. We all saw the movie.

    1. @Robert Bemister He knows that. He was trying to say Trump is basing his presidential decisions on things that happen in movies and no real life.
      You missed the joke I think bud. Maybe lost in translation or context.

    1. Nick Walker….yeh,
      a 2 hrs. conversation!
      A lot of promises can be made in that amount of time. Even treasonous!!!

    1. I’m not sure if I would go that far. However, he is clearly unfit for any kind of public service. The very concept of public service is imcomprehensible to him. His ego and ignorance make him a classic target for illicit foreign actor influence.
