    1. @John DiGiacomo He wont hand the presidency if he looses. He’s already laying the groundwork about postal voting. You guys are in for a really rough time.n

    2. Turnible Spencer, I really think he’ll become so unhinged that the Secret Service will remove him. Biden mentioned the army, but I don’t think that’ll be necessary. I do think there will be problems with his supporters, they’re not a party, they’re a cult.

    3. The world wants him gone and willing to do anything to destroy the onlyman who love and protects his people your in dictatorship by staying home distancing phase one ,have people afraid fear have themm on there knees,phase 2 vaccine micro chip phase 3 new world order Donald Trump is the only one to save this world wake up stand by your presidnt dont listen to fake news and there lies Canada is going threw the same but we have Trudeau we lost our freedom dont loose yours

    4. @John DiGiacomo they are also misinformed cowards with guns. I’m not a liberal or a conservative. When it comes down to it I think they will be killing indiscriminately. They are that brainwashed. But hey the element of surprise is on our side. They won’t expect resistance.

    1. @Roger Ward – Hmm Biden? Biden??? Oh right! The guy whose going to run against trump. He’d be Column B. 4 more years of insanity or column B.

  1. Trump is moaning that he’s been robbed of his economy, well he has enough money to live on unlike so many people who have been robbed of their livelihoods

    1. How do you know Trump is NOT broke now? As bad as they say he is as a businessman, i wouldn’t be surprised if he does not have have enough money to cover all his debts. Lucky for him he only eats at McDonald’s.

    2. All the people who donated to his fake charity, got any kind of bad advice from his university or bought into any of his snake oil schemes should strip him of his assumed wealth, and incarcerate him. This turd needs to bake in Rikers for life.

    3. Yet he doesnt get paid wow what a president you have he love his country he will defend it but the world leaders will do anything to destroy him so the will have there new world order look at the world now covid is a lie and hes the only one to know it

  2. Trump was red tagged by Twitter again today. Use force and harm to American citizens. Luckily nobody took him seriously except Twitter

    1. I beg to differ. His racist base does take everything serious, whether they believe it or pretend to believe it. There will be violence and it will come from his racist base between now and the election. And he will ask them for it.

    1. @Dave Schultz By lying, cheating and it’s possible as that’s how he got in in 2016, it’s going to get worst before it gets better, either learn from this failed presidency or stay controlled by this bad dictator, racist follows racist.

  3. Biden needs to stay in his basement and not take the tRump bait and respond to any of the false claims. Just ignore the crap.

    1. Hes playing it right, at the moment. He cant afford to catch the virus, as he would probably not survive it. Also the less he says the better. Keep it brief. Let trump do all the talking. Its working so far.

  4. very well said, ty ms parker and mr williams. racism and personal attacks are who he is, what he believes in his tiny heart. they should know this by now.

    1. @Cascail Boutx I know she would be in a coma if she isn’t taking her daily dose of adrenochrome

    2. Hydroxycloroquine can change your vision so you see yellow, but not orange. In can stop your heart, but must first have a heart. Maybe it’s an example of what happens when you stop using your mind after school ends, but trump’s the dumbest adult I’ve ever heard of. Btw, nothing has happened to trump. He was this way when he ran for president. People thought he was entertaining, so they elected him. Obama handed him a well run country, so his antics didn’t appear so catastrophic. He then had a 3 year run with no national crisis he had to handle. He hid most of his abuses, like the cages on the border, which are still there, but no video for the news people, and they went somewhere else. Puerto Rico was far enough away, and the stories were about “Spanish people” so people lost interest. COVID19 reminded people that we need a qualified president.

  5. ….so basically he’s running as George Wallace in 72. He tried on Nixon’s Silent Majority mantle from the 68 campaign but it was dramatic enough. He wasn’t getting enough attention so he had to take it down several notches. What earthly good is Karl Rove going to be with a candidate who makes it up as he goes along and is narrowing his base not expanding it? Karl Rove joining the Trump campaign reminds us that its not every day that you see a Rat swimming TOWARDS a Sinking Ship.

    1. To Peter Jeffery: IMPORTANT NOTE: George Wallace is a DEMOCRAT. That fact must ALWAYS be reported, because several media personalities on CNN & MSNBC had mistaken Wallace for a Republican.

    2. @Study to show thyself approve True he was. A Dixiecrat I guess although the sun was setting on the Dems in the South when he ran. The erosion started with Nixon and by 1980 when Reagan played the “States Rights” card the south switched completely and has been GOP Red ever since.

  6. Bedlam? ……Really?…Bedlam is a word for “an environment of insanity”…we already have bedlam…under this presidency.

  7. Not a word about how he is going to protect American lives, businesses, livelihoods and communities from the virus and the ongoing damage to the economy because of the virus.

    Instead sowing racism, chaos and division.

    1. @Albert Weedstein The Thug Genius Thousands are dying every day of Covid,40 million are out of work. American needs a president – not more rallies and photo-ops. American needs a president who does take responsibility.

    2. Albert, you seem to be ignoring Fox, Breitbart, OAN, and the Sinclair group that controls 40% of the “independent” stations, they’ll be hurt. Regarding the COVID19, Trump actually had a chance to be a hero and virtually stop it in it’s tracks, he had earlier warning than any other country, a pandemic response plan from the Obama administration, more resources, an offer of test kits from the WHO, data from other countries hit earlier, and two oceans restricting travel. He squandered three months, lying, holding rallies and playing golf. He abdicated responsibility to the governors. His incompetence, stupidity and laziness turned a crisis into a catastrophe, and is ongoing, even getting worse. Biden even warned about it in January. Biden will do what it takes to contain it, Trump’s pretending it doesn’t exist.

    3. @John DiGiacomo twitter literally fact checks trump’s tweets and flags them

  8. I find it terribly ironic that the president is looking for “a message” to run on when the virus has become a huge crisis. If he were to take it seriously he could unite the country and have the best platform. However, he just cares about being remembered alongside Al Capone and other notorious figures, hence the scripted mayhem.

    1. The virus requires testing , tracing, isolation etc. Thats means hard work , (unpopular work,)and organisation. He is incapable of either. So hes dropped that and is looking for people to hate and complain about….

  9. Let’s face it , Trump has no worthwhile policies going into this campaign. As a result, China -bashing and racist language takes centre stage . He is unable , and unwilling to unite and heal the nation, being the divisive person he is.

    1. According to the polls, all Trump has left is Racists and our least educated. White, High-school drop outs is all Trump has left. So of course Trump will appeal to them with racism.

    2. @Albert Weedstein The Thug Genius Go ahead and sacrifice your children’s health and well being for a few dollars. Learn to swim while you are at it.

  10. When Bunker Boy loses in November, he will happily support a flock of violent sheep protestors claiming the votes were fixed..

    1. That’s how MAGA extremists roll : they think their ruler is 100% always right and any one who disagrees with him is always wrong.

    2. Nope, sorry Charlie. Thom Hartman explained it: if 25 states say they “can’t certify” their electoral votes, senate votes. and there are 32 republican controlled states. so, you think 25 of em can be talked into saying they “can’t certify” them? that is the problem. the whole voter fraud spew is just laying path for this, perhaps. so its the democratic sheep that better balk at that too, eh.

  11. He have nothing better than keep using China 4 his election, bcoz he know his supporters r brain dead.

  12. 😏Uh, Mr. President, we’re already experiencing bedlam during your watch Sir🤷
