  1. get the saudi and russian calls! those will be juicy!
    they will be hidden on the national security secrets servers.
    or you may find the secret back channels he setup with em obviously… think they are gonna just stop trying to get a russian backchannel after the third try? think they will actually stop trying to rig the next 10 elections? of course not.

    1. Very interested in Trump’s calls with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed “Bonesaw” Salman and Ex KGB Vladimir Putin

    1. @P J After what the Bush and Obama administrations did to our country only a man like Trump has been able to put it right. Trump has got the stones to eliminate the rip-off Obama Chinese trade deal while calming down North Korea, providing employment for all, giving our country protection at the border from gang members and terrorists and most of all draining the swamp which is why we put him in the White House in the first place. He is without a doubt exactly what America needed to keep America from being destroyed by our intelligence community and the dim Dems.

    1. @Diane Hooper Facts are, OBAMA signed an agreement with Russia saying the U.S. and Russia would let each other know when air strikes was going to be done, so they don’t accidentally shoot down or bomb each other..

    1. Only imbeciles and those who made a really bad bet and are now destined to follow their money down the drain…

  2. he just doesn’t want the investigation to continue… they must be getting close… continue to investigate and find out everything..

    1. I agree. trump has even admitted it, trying to confuse, trying to normalise it, but that won’t work either! Trump is stuffed, he’s melting and will take others down with him.

  3. Trump is asking a hostile government like China, which he is waging a ferocious trade war with, to interfere with the US elections ?????? This is getting insane and VERY dangerous !!

    1. But this is where Trump has lived, he is more attached to these other leaders rather than his own country men, he has always stood alone that way, the guy is horrrrible.

    2. @G Manloh Exactly, we all saw this about him from the very start. That is why we didn’t vote for him, but the others….really, folks, it takes discernment.

    3. Is this the real reason he started the Trade War with China, just so he could blackmail China into helping him get re elected, if so the Farmers in America are suffering just to get him re elected.

    1. 25 for 45 ! He’s not even acting like a President. Stop the madness already! What ever happened to But but Hillary? Now it’s Biden!

    2. @quonsar Lock him up and everyone else who knowingly participated. Solitary confinement. Who wants him to run your big company?

  4. Is that guy going to just go down a list and ask every country to do investigating. Hes crazy and he needs to be gone before our world rep is destroyed.

    1. Our world rep is gone. Only way to get it back is by all of us voting him out by the widest margin on history. Vote blue 2020

    1. Who will be American enough to step up and stop this madness? What will our history books say? Who is going to stop this Train wreck? We need a hero not a ZERO!!

  5. Apparently we have to wait until he actually shoots someone on 5th Avenue. We’ll probably still have to convince the Senate that murder is illegal, even when the president does it.

  6. “Now, President Xi, about these multi-billion dollar trade tariffs……. and the Bidens.”

    1. @Andethidial bubabibub Correct, and they are also paid by the retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers etc and when costs of goods/costs of doing business goes up, sales go down. Which is why the concern of this causing an economic disaster.

    2. So what is your big idea? Allowing China to strip what’s left of our manufacturing base and jobs? Allowing our technology to be handed over to the Communist Chinese government owned industry? Selling out our children? I am willing to pay 1 or 2 percent more if it saves our economy but seems people with TDS can’t see past their irrational hate for this President. Sad and disgusting.

  7. How can Trump  make statements like that when he’s given his own family positions in the WH? and no one still has ask why Ivanka went to China in 2016 and got a trademark for voting machines.  This sh”t gets crazier everyday.

  8. Apparently Trump has forgotten how his children are using daddies office to gain favor from foreign governments.

    1. sorry, only members of the Obama Administration engaged in nepotism. You’ve been drinking too much Kool-Aid and not doing enough research.
