  1. When you are Despots Trunk, Barr, and McConnell, with compliant “Justice” Roberts — you steal the ’20 election. It’s what you do. Wake up America!!!!
    Russia will also vote in OUR election. They will NOT show tax returns. Vote the entire Trunk Regime OUT!!!!

    1. The most insulting thing about him is that he thinks what he spews is important and worse yet, that people want to listen to his diatribe.

    2. @Altair IV
      Yes he does have bottom feeders listening to him. He said it years ago tht he would run as a republican bcuz they’re stupid

    3. @Deon Samson how DARE you insult stupid people & sink them as low as a cultist #MAGAt. Shame on you sir, shaaaame

    1. Faye Banks Have a great night. We look forward with one of our agents to speak to you.

    2. @BathoryAriaaa lol… everything you just said is incredibly inaccurate and ignorant. We need to know people’s race to determine if each race is being heard and represented properly. That’s why they ask for race on surveys. So they can figure out the specific needs and opinions from each race. That’s how we learn what black people are thinking lol, by asking them.

    3. What’s the difference between saying “a black” or “an African American” though?

      If you ask ask a black person what race we are we’ll likely say “I’m black” or “I’m an African American”. I don’t see how adding “a” to “I’m black” makes it racist.

    1. Trump spoke out of his own inferiority complex; he was hardly educated (a bachelor’s degree only) and speaks barely at the 4th grade level!

  2. Trump is a genius …..but you can’t see his grades
    Trump is healthy …..but you can’t see his medical report
    Trump is Rich …..but you can’t see his taxes
    Trump is Innocent …..but you can’t subpoena Witnesses
    Trump accuses Obama of crimes …..but cant say what’s the crime
    Trump accuses the news of being fake …….when repeating what just came out of his mouth
    Trump says we have the coronavirus under control …..but says testing is overrated every time you do a test you get a case maybe we shouldn’t test
    Trump says write in voting is FRAUD ……but he voted by mail in

    Trump football team bankrupt failure NJ Generals….
    Trump University bankrupt paid out 25 million dollars
    Trump water bankrupt Trump Airline bankrupt Trump casino bankrupt Trump Casino and Resort bankrupt
    Trump vodka bankrupt Trump steaks bankrupt Trump Airline bankrupt Trump board game bankrupt
    Tour de Trump bicycle race bankrupt
    Forbes also reported Donald Trump lost 1 billion dollars between 1985 and 1995

    1. Todd Jenkins; So practically he’s and extremelly downgraded version to “Megamind”, NO offense to the cartoon caracter. His name should be “Megamind p45”. It have a certain way of describing the individual. Educated at “trump university” which wasn’t even registered as an University or even as a “head start” for children.

    2. @Gary Mellow …No specifics as usual.
      I can be *specific* about Biden…would you like me to be?

    3. @Damien Favard …No, he’s great.

      He de-regulated small businesses, improved the economy, supported the anti-EU movements such as Brexit, disbanded ISIS, de-nuclearized South Korea, pulled out of the Paris Accords, and is *still the only world leader to promote a prophylactic cure for the pandemic.*

      But I know what you mean: Rachel Maddow doesn’t like him, so you don’t either.

    1. Republicans are the dumbest voters in America. You can tell them anything and they’ll believe it. I bet, if I ran for Office my numbers would be tremendous. ~ Trump ~

    1. @E.T.A. is NOW “afRica stiLL uSe SlaVEs, but AmERicA is BAd but AfRIcA iS gOoD.”
      .
      no one said that but you. If you believe it that way, that’s your choice.

    2. @E.T.A. is NOW President Trump was also the guy who REFUSED to keep black out of his golf courses in OPPOSITION to the white dems who were there.

  3. Like his token Black Guy Ben Carson?
    Asking for the world of sane people! Ben Carson removed his own brain one day I think?

    1. @James G OREO is referring to the fact when he was asked if he knew what an REO was he spelled it OREO.. So not sure why I’m a racist.

  4. He who ignores history is condemned to repeat it ! The White House is the nazi party re incarnated !

    1. He’s a successful businessman and became the president of the untied sates. Donald tRUmp is more involved with society and helped it more than you ever will so like ok.

    1. If you old then you know 😉 how the rich stay rich and unaccountable. It’s ALL dependent on the cestui que vie trust strawman NAME in CAPITALS birth certificate FRAUD.

    1. @Adam B34 saying African American should be offensive. These people are American, full stop. They have no ties to Africa. By all means say black American but, but saying African American SHOULD be politically incorrect

    2. @Ferny M it just sounds dumb but I don’t think it’s offensive. Saying “a black” or “an African American” is pretty much the same thing.

  5. he was just as racist 30 years ago but at least he didn’t speak like he had a giant brain injury

    1. @Waryaa Wariiri Good observation! 30 years ago “tremendous” was his favorite and only adjective. He hasn’t improved his vocabulary; “tremendous” remains the only adjective he has learned and known. On contrary President Obama is very articulate and his English is very polished.

  6. He’s mostly just jealous of anyone with an education. Note that for Donald well educated is anyone who finished high school with a B average.

  7. but of course when Biden says “you ain’t black” the Right crucifies him and say he’s racist. Trump has a rap sheet that goes to the Moon and back and Right says “he’s not racist”.

    1. I mean he told AOC to go back to her country and fix it if she is unhappy here and she is from the Bronx, not to mention her parents are Puerto Rican…

      And the right has the audacity to cry crocodile tears over Biden’s comment, which lets face it was racist, but common.

  8. Trump is just pretending to be a tough guy.
    In fact, he was crying like a woman many times when his citizens blamed him nonsense.
