  1. “Joe Biden is going to be your president because some people don’t love me.”

    – Helsinki Don

    1. “- Helsinki Don”
      I know what you mean, but please, don’t associate Donald Trump with the capital city of my home country (Finland) in any special way. Finland is a well functioning democracy, one of the least corrupted countries in the world, and Trump is not popular here.

    2. @Sperup AD The American People will vote again! Only this time, we will win by more than 77 electoral votes!
      God Bless America. God Bless our police. God Bless our President Donald J. Trump

    3. @SouthSide Chicago I love that in your mind, trump has grown his base somehow. It’s fun to think about how many successive failures in cognition you’d have to have made to reach that point. Win by more than 77 electoral votes………yea for that to happen you’d need more support not less. Trumpers never have been good at simple tasks like counting though.

    4. @SouthSide Chicago BAHAHA. So in your mind, orangie has grown his base somehow? Thats a fun thing to think about. Seems, like your iq might just match your shoe size.

    1. SouthSide Chicago No, it just shows that he’s many things to many people…..but never a man, much less a President.

    2. Thragon68 And you’re still a pathetic conspiracy loser and total embarrassment to your once great country. You’re welcome.

  2. If he was never informed about bountygate then how does he know it’s a hoax?

    1. @lord of the Sith liberal slayer Oh, well don’t let me stop you from making a fool of yourself in the name of being “flippant”, get that tinfoil hat on! Lol, all we know for sure is that you believe everyone who points out how stupid you sound believes all those things, because i sure haven’t made those claims. Have fun with the whole iq matching your shoe size thing. I imagine its a struggle for you to figure out which hole the food goes in.

    2. @theron gentille also I dont need Coronavirus lecturing from some dim beta-citizen that supports a political party that puts covid patients into nursing homes with the most susceptible and who have the highest mortality rate of all demographics in our society.
      I hope you get your GED.

    3. @theron gentille I know which hole the crap comes out of . The one in your face.

    4. @lord of the Sith liberal slayer Oooo, what witty repartee, looks as if i struck a nerve. try and calm down buddy. I know having a sub-100 iq is tough. My heart goes out to you truly.

    5. @theron gentille you dont strike any nerves. Your best insults are about as team-lame as a trevor Noah commercial . You should invest in a laugh track or a applause sign like he has so we can know that you attempted a awkward pass at humor.

    1. Keith Johnson – Shelby GT500 Obama was admired and respected by many other Nations, Trump isn’t.

    2. Nope, he will be re elected and the us empire will fall shortly afterwards, its fate. Coming down with the favored nations, deep rotation, mutilation.

  3. “Trump Is Failing As Commander In Chief”….. no Ma’am, that ship sailed soon after Inauguration Day. Trump has failed as CIC. Trump has constantly disrespected serving and retired military personnel, and their families. Part of his defence for his draft-dodging cowardice.

    1. @ss he may have coined the name, but the reality of subversives worldwide attempting to destroy this country from within is substantial…so whatever name you wanna give it doesn’t matter…What we do to stop it does matter

    2. This is the kind of repulsive character that the USA produces and ends up in the White House:
      “On 29 August 2012, McEnany tweeted: “How I Met Your Brother — Never mind, forgot he’s still in that hut in Kenya. #ObamaTVShows”. (The Guardian, April 2020)
      Along with the spurious dig at Obama, who was born in Hawaii, the tweet also traded on stereotypes of Africans living in huts.
      Highlighting the tweet on Tuesday, Richard Painter, a former White House chief ethics lawyer, (ethics?? for GW Bush?? haha) wrote: “What is this? A KKK rally in the White House?”
      McEnany is a disgusting racist. The little cross she wears around her neck is pure American hypocrisy.
      Meanwhile, the bodies keep piling up in the greatest shithole country on the planet.
      Cheers

    3. Thragon68 From the UK. You’re an utter embarrassment mate….didn’t you take to education?

    4. @Thragon68 Ok, what have YOU done? Besides post. Which isnt doing anything. I take that back, you are successfully convincing everyone you have….how do i put this….a touch of downs?

    5. @theron gentille Awwww….needing attention again? .okay…play with this, baby
      Worth repeating.
      MSDNC pushes coordinated FAKE, FALSE, MISLEADING DISINFORMATION based on a biased [D] political viewpoint [controlled mouthpiece(s)].
      Blue checkmarks then defend and attack [target] opposing viewpoints using slander, aggression, suppression, group-think, etc. [suppression tactics].
      Non-blue checkmarks then defend and promote attacker(s) [blues] viewpoint(s) [leftwing ‘cult’] to instill echo_chamber wall-to-wall amplified narrative for each designated subject.
      Select [public discovery] topics are deemed and ranked in priority order [ranking determines use of assets [big-to-small]].
      [How to herd the sheep (you) 101]
      If you do not follow [remain in-line] with their political viewpoints you are deliberately made to feel in the minority [isolated] and inferior [using aggression-slander].
      [If majority thinks x then x must be true _projected false reality _minority projected as majority using news _ social media platforms to spotlight designated viewpoints [the ‘narrative’]].
      A public (person) that thinks for themselves [independent free-thought] is what they FEAR the most [loss of control].
      Q

    1. @Shellie Wolske STINK FINGERS JOE! It was finger licking good! It taste just like clam chowder! No calories in hair pie! His dentist gives him a haircut!

    2. @john carioscia
      Are you some kind of disgusting pervert. Lol the only ones stupid enough to still support donnie is the uneducated and mentally dimented pervs. Way to represent

    3. @Shellie Wolske No I’m not a pervert, so I can’t service you. Socialist Freeloader!

  4. He called the Corona virus a hoax too. Now we know that the bounty reports are true.

    1. Earl of Mar what you’re doing is called a rationalization. You’re mind can’t change so you have to convince yourself that our president isn’t a trader. It’s time to wake up you trumpers have been sleeping for far too long.

    2. Feux news and dotard said that Covid-19 was under control and that is was democratic hoax early march, end of story.

    3. @Earl of Mar Everybody leave earl alone, hes just here trying to make a few extra ruples to buy meth.

  5. Now that our troops are at risk, I hope this has FINALLY some Trump supporters scratching their heads. Hopefully the president doesn’t convince them it’s fake news…🙏✌️

    1. Trump supporter will do anything even if Trump ask them to drink rat poisons, they will find the excuses to drink it and blame on Dem, Clinton, Soros, deep state, Media, their doctors, their god not stopping them to drink rat poisons and die from it.

    2. @Daniel Su No they didn’t try to inject themselves with Bleach…or come to MAGA night to defend him from the Protestors in washington DC. or the Tulsa Rally..
      So somehow those so called hardcore Trump Supporters… must be coward deep down. and the one in branson yelling I will teach my grand childeren to hate you all (the people of colors) apologised after losing her job and home.
      It is always after consequences they start to think … never before.

    1. @Thragon68 Sorry. Not worth repeating. Maybe cut & paste, but don’t type it out all over again! Now, if you don’t stop this childish nonsense, I’ll ignore you, & that will be that!

  6. Falling ????? He has failed since he got into the White House …. This man is catastrophic after catastrophic …..

    1. @Keith Johnson – Shelby GT500 have you checked TRUMP mental health ??? He is leading the poll in this one by 100 points ….

    2. @Keith Johnson – Shelby GT500 and yet, a doddering old man still seems a better choice to many than trump. Now just why is that exactly? Oh yea, he just sucks at the job, and HASN’T learned while doing it.

  7. “Mr. President, we need to sanction Putin for putting paid bounties on the heads of our soldiers!”
    “No, he’s an essential worker; he’s running my re-election campaign. I’m going to invite him to the White House!”

    1. EXACTLY!
      It is fascinating that the average person can see it but the Senate “can’t?”
      Kim

    1. Comrade Trump should go home to his leader Putin, perhaps he’ll find the daily adoration he needs. Russia are you listening, reveal the tapes?

    2. @Kenneth Nation Actually it is. He rendered himself INELIGIBLE TO HOLD PUBLIC OFFICE on 17 and 18 Jul 2016. Moscow Mitch and Obama the didn’t want to look bad allowed his OPEN TREASON to continue past those dates.

    3. I take no responsibility

      I didn’t know anything as President

      Because the excuse is so stupid, it makes it only more believable that he knew.
      And that his lack of response to the Threat to our Troops was Wrong

      Melbourne Australia is to start using fast track saliva testing for COVID-19.

      Why is America not using faster and better testing?

      Why still so far behind on testing?

      Below Information on USA Deaths from CDC site on 6/29: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/COVID19/index.htm

      For Week Ending 6/20/2020

      906 COVID-19

      2,232 Additionally Deaths
      involving pneumonia, influenza or COVID-19

      For summertime, it would certainly seem likely that most pneumonia deaths are COVID-19, since flu season is over in USA

      Making COVID-19 deaths for 1 week over 3,000 for USA

    1. Narcissist is trumps middle name. He has no choice but to fail. Until he seeks professional help in his psychological and emotional disorders he’s doomed, then he can work on his racist and bullying, also a world map might be a good learning tool.

    2. @Keith Johnson – Shelby GT500 As a conservative you need look no further than the deficit to see the Trump scam. Even before covid he was on pace to out spend Obama. Obama put millions on healthcare and still spent less than this clown. Obama got handed an economy on the edge of the abyss. Trump came in with unemployment low and the stock market up and in 3 years has highest unemployment in my 40 years and a stock market propped up by trillions in tax payer money.

    3. @Bryce Bray guess in his mind, w was a liberal. These mooks are so far to the right its not even funny.

    1. I take no responsibility

      I didn’t know anything as President

      Because the 1st excuse they came up with, is so stupid, it makes it only more believable that he knew.
      And that his lack of response to the Threat to our Troops was Wrong

    1. I take no responsibility

      I didn’t know anything as President

      Because the excuse is so stupid, it makes it only more believable that he knew.
      And that his lack of response to the Threat to our Troops was Wrong

  8. Now his own Red Hat People will understand when their own family members are being killed!

    1. @Teresa S have a hard time thinking about more than one thing?…but u do admit dem cities are burning

    2. @deb polocz It’s ironic that you accuse others of being emotional, when you’re the one hysterically defending that failure in the WH. You aren’t rational enough to have any meaningful discussion with, so stop pretending you have any objectivity. You can’t even stick to the topic of this video. Just, go away.

  9. Whenever our fearless orange leader says hoax, you can be sure that it is not a hoax. That’s his current brand.

    1. THIS IS Another ,called for LIES WITHIN THE MIND’S OF OF EVIL BEINGS WHO INHABIT MEN’S MINDS TO DESTROY. IT’S CALLED CORRUPTION. AMEN.MARGERE BEST GRANNY LEE AMEN

  10. As we move toward July 4th, one of the finest days in American history, we are reminded daily of one of our worst days….the day Trump took office.

    1. The day Trump took office was a day of Infamy – Worse than Pearl Harbor & 9/11 combined.

    2. @YQ10 Galaxy Hidden & Cloaked please explain why? and dont count the lies u have been listening too..what has been proven?

    3. @deb polocz No one is going to list the many hundreds of examples where Trump failed as President. You’re not interested in facts; you’re like all Trumpers who just keep denying what is obvious to every rational human being on this planet. You are part of the problem, and no one is going to waste their time trying to educate you.
