  1. Democrats let’s treat and teach DJT just as he does everyone and everything in life. An eye for an eye tooth for a tooth. Gloves off Biden

  2. This won’t matter to MAGA crowd. Though Trump is a fake tycoon, he is a real racist. That’s all they care about.

    4. @Marty Baldwin Thanks for coming when I called you, I would scratch you behind the ears but you stink you need a bath.

  4. The party of “Law and Order” is now fully backing a crook.
    Opposite-world.

    How do I know he’s a crook? Because he received work from dozens of companies that he never paid, including one that I worked for which lost $1,000,000 dollars worth of high-level product for his casino, because he went bankrupt. We had to lay-off two dozen skilled workers.
    We’re voting against that level of corruption, and the only thing standing in our way is…the party of “Law and Order”!
    Opposite-world.

    1. Ginger Kenchel he actually failed at that. It’s on several videos. He also couldn’t reciter he kids prayer. You’re really easy to dispense

    5. Republicans are not on their own with that. Last election, both parties were backing crooks. Jeffry Epstein was friends of both candidates, which speaks volumes about America. You wonder why you are the laughing stock of the World.

  6. There are many out there who believe his character on The Apprentice was an actual representation of Trump himself; but in reality he was just playing a tycoon on TV; just as he is now playing the role of a presidential leader on TV.

    1. The only cult leader is Kamala Harris with Black Lives Matter 🤬 who’s been paying to release criminals, and actually pays for people to support Black Lives Matter which is a terrorist Organization 🤬

  8. My concern, is he literally selling intelligence to foreign powers? After all you never hear him directly saying anything negative about
    corrupt world leaders.

    Reply

    2. I think you may be right. Anything to make money for his failing businesses. He has no moral compass and as for MAGA it must mean Make America Grift Again. He cares nothing for this country despite the ridiculous flag hugging . It is one big act. The only mystery is why people are taken in by it.

    3. Well, it’s four years too late for that concern. This is why I can’t understand how the qualifications for the highest office in our nation is still just citizenship and age.

    4. If Trump is selling intelligence to foreign powers, you can rest assured that it is not American intelligence, because there is no such thing in America.

      Reply

  9. This raises a huge huge flag. Why did Trump never get into any legal problems before he even was on the Apprentice? Why? He did so many shady things. Who was protecting Trump? And why?

    Reply

    2. @Katie S And now, they have a lot of dirt on him. Think Putin, Duarte, Erdogan. Who has he been selling information to – not our Allies – but America’s enemies.

      Reply

    4. The answer is simple. Trump’s buddy Giuliani was DA, and then Mayor of the most corrupt city, in the most corrupt country on Earth.

      Reply

  11. His base won’t care about what a conman he is & are too stupid to see what a huge security risk he is! Trump is compromised, bought & paid for by Putin.

  12. Q: why? Answer: The right, incl many Republican politicians, keep telling everyone they should be afraid, and intolerant – of minorities, women, immigrants, change, science, government. We’re supposed to believe that the only ones we can trust are fascists, racists, etc. – ie, Republican politicians. This has been going on for decades. And yes, Republicans said Hitler was not a threat, that “we can work with him”, they opposed American involvement in WWII, they opposed civil rights, equality and more. But “give us those federal dollars” to make up for shortfalls at state level (blue states subsidize red) and “give us tax breaks” for big business (screw the small businesses, or just do lip service).
    Yes, Republicans are such great Americans! NOT! Republicans talk about values, but undermine America, freedom, civility, equality, science and truth on a daily basis. The belittle and attack those who put service to country and others first.
    There is no integrity in treating others badly, or in hypocrisy.

    2. Well said, I wonder when the American people will understand what the double standard language of the republicans really means?

      Reply

    4. I am astounded poorer Republican voters aren’t upset they paid for the toys Donald plays with, Air Force One, Marine One, the military, the limousines… they individually paid more for all his luxuries than he did.

    1. George Wallace also did not have Fox disparaging his presumptive opponent, day after day, hour after hour, for 3 and a half years. Fox needs to be held accountable. they are getting people killed. Scott Atlas and Ron DeSantis too. death merchants. We have turned Covid Corner and are doing 100mph in the wrong direction. Winter is coming.

    It’s an irrelevant question. Just send the guy and his family to prison and throw away the key. Remember he’s sitting next to a pile of paper to sign his tax documents back in the year he only paid $750 income tax? I’m sure if someone goes through his documents long enough, they will find plenty of fraud to charge him and his criminal family.

    The guy is not very bright but dangerous like an uneducated guy holding a knife while drunk. It’s not that hard to convict him.

    2. @Jackie Osborne Jackie, you are talking way above your pay grade. If you want to save your family name, I would stop talking if I were you. You bring shame to your family name by talking nonsense.

  15. Millions of lazy minded people are “fans” of an orange coloured cartoon character they’ve seen on TV. The suckers – “those disgusting people” as he calls them, show up at the “rallies” simply to see the orange barking whining cartoon guy they’ve seen on TV. Trump has only one thing going for him – HIS FERAL INSTINCT & his feral instinct understands this perfectly well. 😢🇺🇸

    1. @Master Blaster We know Bernie well over here, as he has visited many times. We have a very different political system over here, with multiple parties and the two wings and everything in between, which clarifies a lot for people on where to vote, where they feel the most comfortable. Two-party-politics has a tendency to have a lot of issues and grey areas within themselves.
      Every time I have been to the US, it seems people on the coasts knows a lot more about the world and foreign politics than in the mainlands..

      I sincerly hope the best for you and the US, consider moving to Denmark when the pandemic is over. The only thing that sucks is the weather.. 😉

    2. @sl97aq It’s perfectly reasonable to assume that 40% of any given population thinks it’s okay to lie if it’s for personal gain. They think of it as salesmanship, pitching a product like promoting coco-cola as a health drink. Many of them admire a good liar, it makes them feel better about their own personal dishonesty. Over the last forty or fifty years Republicans have been collecting every dishonest person in the country into a base so dense that truth can never penetrate. They are a doomsday cult of liars, they lost track of good and evil a while ago, many of them are third generation evil by now.

    4. @sl97aqMost of them are cowards. There aren’t enough weapons in the world to make them feel safe. Lot’s of Americans own guns but a coward will own an arsenal and still be scared out of their tiny minds.
      They talk tough because they are terrified that the rest of humanity will do to them what they wish they could do to the rest of humanity themselves. 
      They worry about being forced to believe what they don’t believe, they are afraid of being enslaved, they are afraid of being wiped out and their history eased. 
      They are afraid of those things because the history they are so proud of is filled that crap. They know the evil that humans are capable of because they are the evil one’s.
      In a way, I wish they would go for it and get it over it over with. The last time humanity took on that very same evil they had the better generals and the dumber troops, this time it would dumb and even dumber. 
      Personally I would gladly let them go. Give them the old confederate States without firing a shot and leave them to their own devices. They can build a wall around the whole thing and pray for the end-times to their hearts content. 
      If it were up to me I would let them go with just three conditions: No money from America, no slavery and no nukes. let them make it on their own, give them the country they deserve.

  16. The point of this story should be a con man fixing his books to avoid paying his fair share of taxes like the rest of Americans.

  18. Now many people are saying: “trump is a terrible businessman, he’s a certifiable loser”. Methinks “and you just figured out?”. Wow! Talk about being slow!

    1. I am amazed that people didn’t realize running for president was necessary because he was OUT OF MONEY!!! He was DESPERATE!!!!!

    2. Exactly! I remember when he had to file bankruptcy for his casinos! How does that happen??? And yet more and more poor Republicans still think this conman will make them rich.

  19. The only thing consistent about Trump is that he is a racist, and that’s the only real thing that matters to his base. Period.
