  1. Well I don’t think the people of USA should HAVE TO PAY for trump to go golfing at Mar-a-Largo or his other golf clubs. That’s all he does go’s golfing, all the time. He’s on a 2 week golfing trip right NOW!!!..

    1. judetunes1 I mean where are your ‘facts’ as in do you have anything to bring to the table here or are you just going to say people are wrong without proof like almost everyone else on the left? I can start out by saying CNN is another propaganda station legalized by Obama.

      https://www.dailysignal.com/2019/06/26/heres-undeniable-proof-that-the-media-despises-trump/

      Now wouldn’t you say that this swings public opinion and therefore affects people’s opinion during elections?

    2. @Mike Yeah youre such an expert lmao.In May 2016, Trump released his Personal Financial Disclosure (PFD) forms with the Federal Election Commission (FEC). In true Trump fashion, he was quick to let everyone know. “I filed my PFD, which I am proud to say is the largest in the history of the FEC,” Trump said.

      The PFD revealed Trump had:

      At least $1.4 billion in assets, which includes 40 Wall St, the Trump Tower, golf course resorts in Florida, NY, NJ and Scotland and an aircraft, all which are valued at over $50 million.
      Over $300 million in income from the golf courses and resorts.
      Over $100 million in rental income and sales from his property.
      At least $25 million in Blackrock’s Obsidian fund.
      Liabilities, which include debt of $50 million or more on each of the following; the Trump Tower, 40 Wall Street, Trump National Doral, Trump International Hotel and Trump Old Post Office.
      Forbes recently reduced its estimate of Donald Trump’s net worth to $3.5 billion (as of February 2017), down from $4.5 billion in early 2016. Forbes said the softening of the high-end retail and commercial property market in New York City is to blame for the reduction. In their reassessment, Forbes looked at 28 assets of which they said 18 had declined in value since the last estimate.

  2. Is it fair for American Taxpayers to pay over 107 million Dollars (so far,) for your Golf Trips Mr Trump??
    You are a Disgrace of a man and President!

    1. @Albert Green
      Albert I can’t fix stupid! Google his past statements!
      Calling Mexican’s Caravans of Rapists,
      Drug dealers, Murderers! An Invasion! Do we not have the same in US?
      The van bomber was acting on Trumps hate speeche’s!
      When you section out a particular group of people you put a target on their backs! Just as Hitler did with the Jews! Just by Demonizing people is enough! How many at Nuremberg claimed they never actually told anyone to target Jews?

    2. ​@MADRA RUA
      Mexican is not a race!!! Sectioning out a particular group is not racism unless it refers to a race of people. Mexico is a country.

    3. @Albert Green
      Racism is the belief in Superiority of one race or people of ethnicity above another! Trump is not Targeting Mexico as a state but it’s people of mixed ethnicity!
      Also various Latin America people!
      When he called Elizabeth Warren Pocahontas, that was Racist! How many colored people on his Administration?

    1. Can we STOP with the needless disrespect for grandparents and elders bcuz NOT everyone was peaceful AFTER attack. Example I’m 3rd generation from chattel slavery. My Great grandfather took his freedom since they refused to respect the law. And by take YES I mean he killed “master” & dipped. I feel 0 shame. Actually I’m PROUD he took what was his by birthright. His freedom.

    2. @ThatLadyDray You’re preaching to the choir and a descendant of slaves owned by George Washington’s family. His nephew Bushrod to be exact. Like you, I have a documented incident of resistance by my African ancestors. However…I mean no disrespect towards them but to let racist know we won’t be marching or singing hymns if you come at me sideways. No filing lawsuits with the ACLU, or enlisting BLM, NAACP, National Action Network, none of that. I’m going straight upside that head with these hands. Fannie Lou Hamer said it best “I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired.”

  3. When are the first wave of NAZI death camps due to begin … processing refugees, and immigrants, America?

    1. Diogenes69 Wesley Nazis in Germany started marginalizing Jews in 1933. Dachau opened in 1933. Nazis made other political parties illegal and started placing political opponents in Dachau then.

    2. @Linda Dabney – The “Drudge(d) Report” *isn’t known* for its veracity…or integrity. 🤔
      ‘Caveat Emptor’…and ‘then some’. 😏

    1. @CRedding94 cos they own people not that crazy it needs stopping that I live in england if Leeds was funding my Town I would be going sick

    2. Trump went against God word anyone that ever study the Bible know that the Bible said take care of the poor and I will bless you if not I will curse you so Trump is going down and the racist and his money can’t help him because God is the truth and the light

    3. @big Cahuna look up Three Girl on youtube its also on netflix my town was the 1st in england when we had open borders englands keeps trying to warn these libs, but ego makes them stupid

    4. you can hate rich people if you like .. The system is corrupt. The government has been made into a company, working for the banks. Lobbyists make the laws.

  4. Steven Miller is a very angry man! He is very angry that brown skinned people are often better than him! I figure Miller was bullied a lot as a child, until he became the bully!

    1. @Claudia r What a ridiculous, ignorant and putrid comment. Were your family originally immigrants? I’d wager they were.

  5. Trump’s base, doesn’t earn as much as a lot of immigrants in our blue states. They work hard, they pay their taxes, they contribute to our economy. Trump’s base are a lot of residents in red states who have GOP Governors, a lot of them on welfare and government assistance. Move them out of the country too!

    1. @hankakah Yes because only the super intelligent believe in 76 genders, racist trees, and worry about the minimum wage because they are broke all the time.

    2. @ARK Puppies I know some of my immigrant coworkers kids are going to law school, and medical school….and Trumpsters, they send their kids to Trump rallies, and neo-Nazi gatherings.

    3. @Sebastian Moya you only see the worst of immigrants…and i’m sure your family emigrated here as well. Most of this country are immigrants, did your family all of a sudden become Native American?

    1. China literally manufacturers. From computers and washer and dryer. Also a lot of clothes for the world.

  6. We need human beings in office that haven’t been spoon fed on daddies wealth that haven’t had a problem in their life that they didn’t create themselves or buy their way out of it. Fascist and racist should be a tattoo across Trumps back.

    1. We need clowns like you to go live in a 3rd world country in order to appreciate living in America and then be denied coming back as a life lesson unto yourself.

  7. trumps’ own family are immigrants!!! His grandfather was born in Germany, probably a NAZI based on what his grandson is doing!!!

    1. @CRedding94 Do you know how old George Soros was during WWII? How’s your maths? He was born in August 1930. He was nine when the war started and fourteen when it ended. Hungarian and German forces within Hungary surrendered in February 1945. He was a child during the war, you fool.

    2. Freeda, gangs in Chicago, California, and New York carry out mass shootings everyday. The news are covering these recent or significant mass shootings because it sells, it’s new, and it fits an agenda. Mass shootings in the inner cities happen everyday of the week, and the reason why it’s not covered is because it’s nothing new.

  8. and his trophy wife is an immigrant, and she got her family over here as well…what a CON MAN trump is!!!

    1. @Ricky Spanish Hey Yuri, if I pay will you come to the US and fight me? Are you a typical coward like little bald putin?

    1. Yes, let the illegal aliens of 76 genders lead us through the forest of racist trees to the crying room of justice!

    2. Let me guess, the Soul of our Nation is a bunch of poor, 3rd world immigrants from Socialist countries which they ran from to come here, and start Socialism all over again hoping it work this time with the backing and wealth of tax-paying native American citizens, huh?

      GTFOH!!!

  9. Trump has made a laughing stock of our country.
    He is a bully and his bullying is made more dangerous by his stupidity.
    Our constitution must change in order to prevent another trumpian administration.
    This will not end well!

    1. …. so, Trump is a bully and the victims are laughing at us???

      Interesting thought. Weird, but interesting.

  10. “Noted for editing texts even Bibles to serve their own interests; the main aim is to deceive so they acquire lands, properties etc”.

  11. Trump’s systematic targeting of immigrants is Genocide. The International Law is absolutely clear about it.
