  1. Trump’s greatest enemy is the American people. His second greatest enemy is the English language.

    1. Eli Dicken which conspiracy theory’s platform did you get this priceless tidbit? People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

    2. david thomas I replied that too! Amazing these trolls never doubt their spelling or usage abilities so they don’t need a dictionary that’s online!

    3. Eli Dicken police violence is great until they, or someone they live, is killed or nearly killed by that same violence! But, as usual, they believe it will NEVER happen to them or theirs.

    4. SouthSide Chicago apparently you are unaware that most veterans DO NOT support Trump. You delusion of who has the majority needs readdressing. And another tip: Trump bailing out the elite, millionaire and corporate farmers due to Trumps FAILURE to get a “better trade deal” is SOCIALISM! Not saying they didn’t need it just letting you know it’s a perfect example of socialism!!

    1. @SouthSide Chicago…Oh yeah, 4,121 deaths from COVID in the last 7 days is nothing. 132,832 deaths in the last four months…no worries. NASDAQ?…yeah, it’s up, but DOLT45 had nothing to do with it. If you think I’m wrong…please by all means explain how Trump had ANYTHING to do with the NASDAQ?
      Trump IS responsible for the stock market crash…his bumbling of the pandemic response is 100% at fault.
      But whatever happens during 2021, it will have NOTHING to do with Trump. He won’t be president in 2021…except maybe president of the inmates association at a nearby federal correctional facility.

  2. Donald Trump IS the radical idealogy attacking America and he MUST go if we want to preserve American Democracy and the American Constitution!

    1. @Truth Ninja You are very confused. Just another Republican projection as it is Donald Trump who has been attacking the Constitution, the American court system, American judges, and the Rule of Law in America. How much do you get paid to act as a Trump Troll and spread pro-Trump propaganda?

    2. Rick Ammon LISTEN ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS VOTE BIDEN IF YOU HATE USA 🇺🇸 IF YOU HATE YOUR LIFE, IF YOU HATE YOUR BANK ACCT, IF YOU HATE YOUR FREEDOM BC W HIM AND HIS PARTY I GUARANTEE YOU, YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO HATE

    3. @Rick Ammon The only people I’ve seen attacking the Constitution lately are the Dems. But idiots like you are their target audience, so…

  3. Race and the Confederate flag. It’s unfortunate that the ‘enemy’ is other Americans. Vote people.

    1. Name Well the confederates were the enemy,you know,traitors..secessionists…people who wanted to own black people….now what particular type of voter likes the confederate flag again…🤔

    2. All dictators need an enemy, and it has to be from within to allow the dictator to “save” the people.

  4. Either t’rump is afraid to lose the large portion of his base that are white nationalists or he is one himself.
    I’ll let y’all decided which. 😅😂

    1. He already has the support of the racists and white nationalists who vote. But he realizes it’s not enough to win. Now he’s trying to expand his base and pull in the votes of super hardcore racists and white nationalists who haven’t voted since David Duke was on the ballot.

    2. How rude if democrats win you will be run by china and working for them so vote democrats

    3. @Doris Rivers You surely are a pathetic bot / troll with even less intelligence than a flea.

    1. CBO’s budget and economic projections are predicated on the assumption
      that current laws generally remain in place.
      Jan 2017

      160,000 jobs per month for the first half of 2017
      64,000 jobs per month for the 5 years after that

      https://www.cbo.gov/publication/52370

      – wow, that’s real impressive

    2. @Eric Peanuts He’s a world wide scourge. A plague of all his own behavior and ideology.The worst of the worst.Needs to go now!

    1. @SPZ Aruba Nazi were the antithesis of socialism and progressives. This is basic 5th grade History!

    2. @John Thomas Great ‘bad hair’ link! And all this time I thought he glued some orange floof on top of a frisbee and then stuck it on his head. Turns he actually has an inch or two of hair he swirls around to cover his otherwise bald head… and sprays it up with Gorilla Glue. Thanks for the link!

  5. We need to stop asking better from him… “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time”

    Maya Angelou

    1. William Thomas
      You need to ask/expect better from the GOP!
      You MUST make sure @GOP hear relentlessly LOUD & CLEAR, negligence regarding Trump’s knowing, blatent inaction & lies, about the Russian bounty on American troops lives, is at best staggering #DerelictionOfDuty & will NOT be permitted to stand! ENOUGH! 😠 #Country1st or #RipGOP

  6. No end-game, no strategy, he’s solely acting to comfort his slighted ego.

    120 days until Nov 3!!!

    1. @MrM1729 I’ve been marking this date on my calendar as soon as he started spewing his garbage. We need to unite this country again. Make Republicans great again. For the sake of the country vote blue. 🇺🇸🔷

    1. He will dragged out of the bunker kicking screaming and crying. I hope it’s televised.

    2. Toddlers never recognise their own horrible behaviour – we can hardly expect bunker baby to do anything different.

    3. John Seneff JUST VOTE BIDEN IF YOU HATE USA 🇺🇸 IF YOU HATE YOUR LIFE, IF YOU HATE YOUR FREEDOM IF YOU HATE YOUR BANK ACCT BC W HIM AND HIS PARTY I GUARANTEE YOU YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO HATE

    1. 2Tone 331Vicky you sound like you’re missing positively firing brain cells aka synapse!

    2. R Thomas listen all you need to do is VOTE BIDEN IF YOU HATE USA 🇺🇸 IF YOU HATE YOUR LIFE, IF YOU HATE EVERYTHING AROUND YOU BC WITH HIM AND HIS PARTY GUARANTEED YOU WONT HAVE ANYTHING TO HATE

    1. I live in Alabama. And when you hear REPUBLICANS down here start saying, “Yeah, Trump is going too far” you KNOW there’s a problem.

    2. The CSA would never elect an orange yankee from NY. Trump is the king of Trumpistan. That’s a completely different country.

    3. I’m afraid he knows his only remaining supporters are the people that revere the traitorous Confederacy and that they are itching to use their guns to do it all over again.

  7. Donald Trump claims that he is the least racist person in America all the while he works the hardest of any American at dividing America along racial lines!

    1. @My name Jeff Not all of his voter base will be back. MANY people have had enough of his antics.

    2. J Flow LISTEN JUST VOTE BIDEN IF YOU HATE USA 🇺🇸 IF YOU HATE YOUR LIFE, IF YOU HATE YOUR FREEDOM, IF YOU HATE YOUR BANK ACCT BC W HIM AND HIS PARTY YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO HATE

  8. This man has a lot of things in the country to think about but instead he focuses on racism. This is who he is. Evil

    1. @Pamla Perez I know the shifts within the parties over the years, the point I am making is that those who defend Trump don’t really care. It’s all about the name or word used regardless of time and history. .

    2. @Cesar Canales it’s funny how both parties try to make racism a party thing when it was clearly a Western Culture thing. The thing that always connected WS was the European Christian ideology. Not all, but definitely many throughout US history.

  9. This monster is really trying to create divisions where there is none. Release his tax returns!

    1. “Donald Trump. The first President elected without any prior experience as a human being.”
      – John Oliver
