  1. And thanks to the cowards in the Senate, this thug President can now use every opportunity possible for personal gain and never be held accountable.

    1. @Richard Miller Kaitlyn Bennet is ok she works for info wars but whatever the top guys name is he is crazy! That’s like watching the lefts The Young Turks!

  2. And once again, Trump is stuffing his pockets with the taxpayers’ money, as much as he can, before the Con blows up in his face as usual.

    1. @Lando Calrissian “I’m really miserable while on my grill that cost more than your car. “.
      I don’t know which school Seminole Nation attended but he seems to be able to construct a sentence better than you. What WERE you trying to say?

    2. NO ONE IN GOVERNMENT…NO AGENCY WILL STAND UP TO HIM….WHAT…IS HE GOING TO HAVE THEM KILLED ??? IS THAT WHAT THE ARE AFRAID OF ???

  3. And yet he whines like a serial loser about how bad everything is for him and how mean everyone is to him.

    1. I get sick and tired of the idiots calling others haters when they bow to someone who constantly spews hate.

    2. @Bud Fudlacker trump smoke screen was the clue. He’s the one who proclaimed rigging in case he lost. And to cover maybe that he rigged it. He’ll say anything. Ergo, liar. Constant misdirection to blur it all.

    1. @Exculpatory Shōgun wonderful job defending Trump. I own a newspaper called “Inbred Hicks” and after reading your nonsensical b.s would like very much to offer you a job at my paper. With the level of stupidity at an all time high, we need folks like you to help the movement to continue to grow. I scour YouTube daily looking for fools oops I meant tools such as yourself, with a certain type of flare for absurdity. Please reach out to me via email or Twitter so we may get the process rolling for your employment.

  4. Trump owes how much to all those cities? Time for the government to stop paying for all those rooms and golf carts.

    1. @Karen Arnold-McGregor The US Air Force announces they have used Turnberry, Trumps resort in Scotland, for intermediate travel stays starting in 2015 under the Obama Admin (9-18-19)

    2. @Karen Arnold-McGregor The US Air Force announces in the last 4 years they have spent $5,200 on stays at Trump Turnberry, crushing the media narrative that Trump enriches himself (9-18-19)

    3. Seminole Nation We all know now that Trump has it’s government agencies give us disinformation so I don’t believe that!

    4. @Seminole Nation As far as trolls go, you’re definitely not the brightest one. IF you bothered to actually watch this video, you’d see that even agencies like The Secret Service are now providing false information, or avoiding to provide any relevant or required information at all, as Trump continues to use his Presidency to enrich himself.

    1. @bert larsen Trump University, Trump Foundation, Stiffing contractors on payments just a few examples, yeah he’s corrupt.

    2. @bert larsen Not in one person.
      Once is an accident, two then three, that’s a pattern. And since he’s been behaving like this since the 80’s and keeps doing it even as President???

    1. About that. So far the only one clarifying that Trump donates his pay is Trump. Who is he donating it too? As far as I know there is no charitable group receiving a large donation from the White House. We all know Trump he wouldn’t donate money like that in secret. Trump would be on TV handing over a big check with lot’s of cameras and Trump telling the world just how great he is.

    1. Words Bliss
      Power corrupts especially the weak as evidenced by the Trump supporters and the Republican Senators.

  5. Scamming American institutions for personal short term gain. They would be just a bunch common thieves but now they own the judge, and jury. This ends badly.

    1. @Brian Allen typical for a lowlife brain dead loser. Are you one of those freakout cry babies? Can’t wait for Trump to be re-elected

    1. We no longer refer to those countries as “shitholes” due to the PC police. We now refer to them as “turd world countries”.

    2. @Twig Spinner “demonspawn”. You need to lay off the Dungeons & Dragons games. What child peddling syndicate? Never heard of it.

    1. This president has rarely, if ever, shown any interest in, or knowledge of, the institutions that are far more responsible for making the country great and strong than any president, past, present, or future. And because he has no interest or knowledge of those institutions, he pays little heed to their future vitality. From all outward appearances, he cares little for what comes after him, and bears no obligation towards it. If the Secret Service, military, Justice Department, or any other organ of government loses all credibility, he appears not to care. What seems to matter to him is only what role they can serve for him as an individual right now. What a shallow, shallow, petty man.

    2. Unfortunately you’re right the country is in a mess. The Republicans have become the Trump Party and the Democrats seem unable to elect a unifying candidate. It remains to be seen if the Democrats can prevent this mad POTUS from causing further damage.

    3. once we Flip the Senate…AND win back the WH….things will change back to Honor and Character and Morality and Justice…..we will have a Senate that will Pass Bills helping the people and ending Fraud by big Corps., we will have an AG that wont be a Crook and actually work FOR the people…..and out Allies will trust us again. It will be like as if we turned the lights back on and ALL the Cockroaches will have scattered

    1. Treasury Dept announces in fiscal year 2019 (10/18 to 9/19) they took in $1.7 trillion in income taxes, the most in US history (10-29-19)

    2. @Seminole Nation Weird that the OMB reported a GIANT deficit during this strong economy. I guess you can always spend more than you make and declare bankruptcy later.

    3. @fred fox get a non biased look at the Trump Admin budget next week.
      Congress does the spending loon, but Trump wanted a few years to rebuild military. THAT IS DONE

    4. @fred fox but dont say THE TAX CUT caused anyting cause it didnt. record intakes…..its congress. they are the spenders

    5. @Seminole Nation The White House submits the budget in the first step of the process and either accepts or rejects it in the final step. Trump signed it and therefore OWNS it.

  6. 2019 – Trump’s Golfing has Cost Taxpayers $102 Million, Just $12.7 Million Behind Obama’s Travel During Entire Presidency

    1. @Seminole Nation Saving tax payers in the short term, costing 2-5 time more in the long term when we have to clean up the mess.

    2. @Seminole Nation and that is one of the side effects of living in this Trump world, exactly what you did, what does what you said have to do with the topic at hand. Are you saying that because he saved the country money in one place its ok for him to steal from us in another place???????? Is that really what you saying, because if its not then whats the point of your comment at all other than to distract from the actual topic, which is exactly the Trump gameplan.

    3. @Seminole Nation Which tax bracket are the people who are saving 23 billion in. It ain’t you and me brother. Unless you’re a multi millionaire or billionaire owner of a refinery or something. Plus, there reasons those regulations were put in place. Its because short term savings have long term costs. But your boy genius knows better than everybody else, right?

    4. @Seminole Nation The Office of Regulatory Affairs features a bunch of people with fast growing noses. No person’s nose grows faster than Trump’s, though!

    1. TBH, we don’t need anybody to say it under oath. We can see it for ourselves every time he appears in public. And don’t be under any illusion that his base do not know this. There is plenty of evidence to suggest that, that is why many of them support him.

    2. @Crystal Giddens : My problem with him is not that he is orange, it’s that he’s a con and a cheat. Oh, and he’s a White supremacist.

  7. They are covering up all the money he has charged us. The secret service should not be covering for the traitor

    1. Expect nothing from the Republican “fiscal conservatives”. All this will come out during hearings next year when the Democrats control all three branches of government and Republicans can not cover. Expect no clawbacks. The money is gone.

    2. Brad Shields they haven’t turned in reports other than two . Secret service is covering for him so the general public doesn’t find out the real accounting of how much he has really cost Americans and put in his own pocket. The books don’t lie, but if you don’t release accounting details ummm…
