  1. Trump thinks he’s being clever. No one bought into the idea that Trump is a great negotiator more than Trump himself. Walking away from the table, then coming back, is a 15-year old’s idea of hotshot negotiation skills. It helps if you’re pumped up with drugs.

    1. @William H Most successful at what? Lying, bankrupting businesses, scheming the tax system, stealing, grifting, being a con-man, and kissing Putin’s a$$, to name a few? He’s been very “successful” in those areas, but not much else- unless racking up cheated on wives is now a virtue.

    2. A lot of Americans are going to want you to believe the part about drugs, because President Trump
      hasn’t been described like that since the election. It wasn’t his drug use that brought down America.
      You are also hearing only election talk, not showing what Republicans are doing while they still can.
      What did Ontario ever do to you?

    3. Is it my imagination, or do I recall Trump urging Mnuchin and Pelosi to achieve something with respect to stimulus negotiations during his hospital stay then suddenly he takes a 180 degree turn and says stimulus talks are dead until after the election! He is really a dim bulb.

    4. @Nadia Silvershine: No, it’s not your imagination, and I hope it doesn’t start showing up in your dreams.

  2. Surprise….. Trump backtracks on canceling covid relief negotiations, his cult must have squealed like piggys!

    1. @NewOldVideos everyone screws up once in a while, it’s what I get for rushing and not proofreading on a brighter note, at least I didn’t add an apostrophe! 😉

    2. @Radio Queen Bee
      That is what will happen just before the election.
      The numbers will shoot up “like never before seen in history” kind of stuff.
      The top 10% now own more of their own stocks then ever in history. The have shattered records since Trump took office.
      They will start dumping their own stocks back into the market like crazy very soon.
      In the first week of November we will see the largest and fastest rise in the stock market we have ever seen.
      The truth however is it will only take the top 10% to pull it off.

    1. @hopndon Republican led Senate Intelligence Report said the Trump Campaign worked with Konstantin Kilimnik (Russian Intelligence) and Oleg Deripaska (Putin’s friend) during the 2016 election. https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/files/documents/report_volume5.pdf

      “The US Justice Department in 2017 took secret steps to curtail the special counsel investigation into Russian election interference and possible coordination with the Trump campaign, former law enforcement officials told The New York Times.

      According to the newspaper, former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein had ordered former special counsel Robert Mueller to examine “any links and/or coordination between the Russian government” and Trump’s campaign, but former law enforcement officials said that privately, Rosenstein told Mueller to conduct only a criminal investigation.” https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/30/politics/trump-russia-investigation-rod-rosenstein/index.html

    2. Hopndon must be talking about the documents that ratcliffe was told by intelligence agencies were unverified and likely Russian disinformation. In other words, ratcliffe and hopndon are both trumputin’s useful idiots!

  3. No bailout for airlines. We already know all they will do is pocket the money and still fire whoever they need to in order to make their next bonus.

    1. Rather than bailing them out, the government should partially nationalize them. For any money they receive, we, the American people, need to receive voting stock. In that way, in future, we can prevent some of their more nefarious actions, like squeezing in so many row of seats, customers fight over the right to recline their seats.

    2. Either pocket the money or do some stock buyback to increase their value before they plunge again so that their shareholders can sell high.

    1. @David Eby trump never created any jobs. The US economy was back on track when Obama left office and it grows on its own.

      He is responsible for massive unemployment because he ignores and even makes the pandemic worse by fostering an anti-safety cult.

    2. @David Eby and clearly Republicans think that anyone that doesn’t agree with them are democrats? Clearly you can read either or I guess you not smart enough to think I’m not a democrat. Use whatever brain you have because now I’m voting Biden cause of stupid thinking

  4. Trump just keep testing the American people. the respect level from trump towards his own country is sickening.

    1. As Biden would say,
      C’mon man, are you sure you’re as bright as a white kid,
      Then you ain’t black….

  5. McConnell should impeached, and if an election controversy goes to SCOTUS, Kavanaugh and Barrett (if she’s confirmed) should recuse themselves from the case or be disbarred.

    1. or you know let them hang out with trump…………..no medicine of treatments allowed for any of these evil fuckwits

    2. How’s the polling in KY? We don’t hear anything about that. Sure would like to see MM lose. The fighter jock would represent the people of KY so well. MM and KY is almost a microcosm of how the Republicans’ cynical approach to government (starve the taxpayers, rescue the banks / socialize debt, privatize wealth.) Kentuckians do not benefit from having Speaker MM, but they keep voting for him because they hate Democrats.

  7. *Make no mistake: if you are out of work, if your business is closed, if your child’s school is shut down, if you are seeing layoffs in your community, Donald Trump decided today that none of that matters to him.*

    1. Trump is a Selfish A-Hole. He cares ONLY ABOUT HIMSELF, period. Without doubt, he is The Worst U.S. “President” , EVER!

  8. Let’s vote as if a bunch of very bad humans are trying to prevent us from doing so. Toss the Trumpster in the dumpster!

  9. A contagious virus carrying , obese , drugged up , elderly man is deciding what’s is best for American. How low have we fallen.

    1. Are you guys literate? The president has donated every single one of his paychecks since taking office.

    2. @West House The loser pays almost no federal taxes because he’s a terrible businessman and gets tax welfare.

      We are paying for his health care and he wants to get rid of health care for 20 million Americans during a pandemic.

      He’s effectively insane and needs removing from office as quickly as possible.

  10. America — Trump only cares about himself — no compassion for suffering Americans. Vote for Joe!! We deserve bettet
