    1. mik3ymomo… are you a minorities???..hehehe.Do you know that you could be unemployed and not be able to collect unemployment benefits??? Touting that is an oxymoron, but then again, you’re in a cult…. sooo.

    2. What NYT doesn’t get is that Donald Trump is not an “EMPLOYEE” he is an “EMPLOYER” in other words, a businessman, an entrepreneur and as such he pays: payroll taxes, property taxes, real estate taxes, he gets deductions for asset depreciation, etc, etc, like all businessmen the tax code grants him these so that he can start and run businesses that create wealth for him and the community in which they are based. The NYT is owned by the Sulzberger family. How much tax do they pay?

    3. You have it backwards dude! Look at he DEMON-RAT Blowout Pelosi. The B*tch hasn’t done anything for the people but stall the stimulus meetings until the election. Go VOTE for TRUMP 2020!

  1. It also means he’s flogging America to open and risking people’s lives so money can start flowing towards his businesses again.

    1. @Kevin McCallister becoming a president through lies, and hatred, who would want that apart from a desperate fool, with no integrity..

    2. @Richard Barry I don’t think Biden would discourage following health guidlines. Biden wouldn’t of pushed states to open early. Biden wouldn’t lie to AMERICA about the virus. Biden wouldn’t spend all his time trying to blame someone else. Biden wouldn’t suggest injecting bleach. Biden would promote unapproved drugs. I could go on, but I think/hope you get the point.
      An irresponsible, narcissist, compulsive liar isn’t the best option for president?

    3. @Michael Scarlino Every democrat president recently has been elected on lies and racial hatred so thanks for proving my point, even though you were too stupid to realize you did. And Biden is clearly the desperate fool with no integrity, if you can’t see that you are completely useless.

  2. He misrepresented who is is to his supporters – drive that message home. However, the real problem is his enablers – vote out people who don’t represent America’s interests.

    1. Sit down. I work in finance. I insure cars, homes and businesses all day long and this is exactly what is happening. Go sit down child, stay out of grown folks conversations.

  3. Dear America, We should probably start requiring a background check on candidates before they enter a presidential race. That fried mango shouldn’t be anywhere near the nuke codes.

    1. This country is so screwed up..the people with gazillions never pay a dime in taxes but regular people pay more in taxes and if we don’t, then Lord help us!!🤬😤

    1. Ailene Tabada Not lying you fool. The papers are there. The numbers are there. Trump’s lies are there. On camera. On tape. But you just keep spewing your lies. Because we all believe you. Because you have so much credibility…. Oh, and it was the all-caps you used that fooled me. All-caps and shiny things…..!!!! That’ll do it for all us guys without brains. Good job, Babe.

    1. And they fix the system so felons who’ve paid their debt to society can’t vote unless they pay their debts( hypocrisy). Vladimir couldn’t wait for this loser to get elected!

    1. With Trump it’s always about the money. Tens of thousands of Americans dying on his watch? He don’t care about that for one second.
