  1. Folks ignore the 🤢trolls🤢it’s time we quit playing Puty and his lackeys game register and vote blue thank you 😊.

  2. Trump is now advocating breaking the law. He should be impeached for this. He needs to have #25 applied , ASAP.

  3. Where are the 3 branches of government??????
    This narcissist sociopath that makes deals thinking he is the Godfather , is clearly not fit to be the President

    1. RUNNING A NATION OF 250 MILLION PEOPLE IS NOT A CIRCUS WITH CLOWNS LIKE TRUMP AND HIS GANG, FOR CITIZENS LIVES ARE REAL AND NOT A JOKE OR A REALITY SHOW.

    2. The traitors paternal grandfather came to this country as an illegal immigrant and took land that didn’t belong to him to build on.

    3. @Yo BoRey I have to be redundant leftist have the attention span of a gold fish, they don’t want to know how many lies their preist class tell them

  4. Another abuse of power by Trump? So what will be done about it? Will it just be added to the list… and forgotten? How much longer are we going to put up with this clown?

  5. I hope to God, the land they ‘take’ is the republicans that decry government over reach, and even better a trump voter!

    1. @Danny v Big letters don’t make you look smart kid. Has Trump retracted anything? Mexico paying?
      “I didn’t know Stormy Daniels”?
      “I didn’t pay Stormy Daniels”?
      “I paid her, but it wasn’t illegal”.
      Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

    1. That’s because Trump has always been inept and incompetent.

      Trump has NEVER had a job. He would never be hired by a real businessman.

  6. He’s in a panic because none of his promises have been met. Can you imagine having a family farm for generations and they just come take it? Wow

    1. @Lavern Revels why do people of Indian descent that were born in America know more than the rest of us about history? OH! You mean NATIVE AMERICANS!?!? Ok, makes sense now.

  7. “He’s just joking” has become the Trump supporters excuse to make themselves feel better for any stupid stuff that Trump says/does. I bet they will still say that when sh!t hits the fan. Kinda sad and scary at the same time. 😰😰😰

    1. The Presidency of the United States of America has been reduced to “a joke” by the biggest clowns of all… Republicans and Trump.

      … unfortunately, it’s no laughing matter. This puts all Americans safety at risk.

      VOTE for America!

    1. Really does any rational American see 45 as having a sense of humor ? Has he ever had ? Honestly I believe everything he says he means and his cult try to bamboozle us into thinking otherwise not realizing not all of us is drinking the cool-aid

    2. @Cheyenne Garcia He really is the Antichrist. Watch Brother James Key. That’s what’s really going on. 5 more years, ugh.

    1. The world Is not governed by” laws “, the only people who can remove trump is a rich Jewish Zionist who is the law….

    2. @Bob Roberts the commie court of public is now session ,where the commie babies make up laws and apply punishment and then get mad when real life happens, we can go there because the payment was before Trump ran for office, hence why only the commie babies are talking about it

    1. @c a g Au contrair, fils de put. France showed the world how trade can be used in a good powerful way: “Hey Brazil, you don’t take the rain-forest fire serious and you deny climate change, then you don’t do business with Europe”. Have you seen how quick Brazil jumped to fight those fires ?

  8. I bet he told Cohen to commit crimes for him and said I’ll protect you. The joke is that he will never protect anyone besides himself

    1. Exactly. Yet fools continue to be loyal to him. Cohen learned the hard way. Never trust a pathological lying con man. 45 will throw a baby to the wolves if it meant saving his own putrid skin

    1. To impeach him is NOT ENOUGH!!! 3/4 of the world wants to see this POS PIG in prison till he takes his last dying breath! Oh… and send Melanoma, Barron (anchor baby), and her chain migration parents back to Slovenia!!!!!

    2. And what should we do with Clapper Brennan Comey McCabe Obama and all the rest of the conspirators that abused their power to try to rig an election

  9. King Donald is above the law. He is supreme leader. He is infallible. He is genius. And he is a total loser.

    1. And like the ones who came before him who he is so very much alike .Jim Jones David of the branch divisions etc.
      Remember how well it worked out for their followers. I’m afraid we are on the same path. And this nut jib won’t need poison kook aid he has the nuclear button at his disposal . And I have no doubt he will do too.

    1. The commie court of public opinion is now in session, make up laws and punishments and then get mad when real life happens

    1. @Tracy DuPree the traitors paternal grandfather came to this country as an illegal immigrant from germany.

    2. @javierrruiz1 No, u got it wrong man. She overstayed her visa, married Trump to gain citizenship, then brought her fam over thru chain migration…unless u believe their lie that someone like her got an ”Einstein Visa”

  10. This is him as president in the WH. Just imagine what a corrupt immoral crook he was in Trump Tower…

    1. RationalThinker1859 That is why New Yorkers, such as myself, knew him, wouldnt vote for him, and tried to warn you all. But he’s worse…

    1. Vote Republicans out! Let’s clean up the criminals in the Senate led by Moscow Mitch.

      Let’s start cleaning up the massive shiatthole swamp Trump has created.

      Vote them all out!!!
