    1. I wish all you sane anti-Trump people could go on Michigan’s MLive and Click on Detroit channels and try and convince all the Trump cultists on those channels about how evil Trump really is. But they have been mesmerized by Trump and FOX News.

  1. HEY GENERALS! Your oath is to the CONSTITUTION, NOT THE MAN…you know what to do when the time comes and show no mercy!!! LOL I’M Funny!

    1. @Leo a lot of Republicans are turning on Trump because they’re siding with logic over his screaming and lying

    2. @Tater Solus They’re cutting bait and running, 3 years of this crap they smell Trump’s blood in the water. Don’t be fooled again.

    3. @Tater Solus They should be putting the blame where it belongs THE GOP 🚽 PARTY.
      I used to respect the Republican party ( H.W. was the 1st President I ever voted for.
      But look at them now !
      They asked for Trump !
      They are sending 30 QANON FOLLOWERS to run for SENATE & HOUSE in 2020 !!!
      What has happened to the Conservative ?? Party .

  2. Trump more concerned about monuments than actual soldiers on the battlefield. Epic failure anyway you look at it.

    1. Elmosweed that body count is on the US for being involved in the first place. Police matter? And it should be locally driven and decided for the fairness of local democratic representation that understands it.

    2. @Toward Treatise never said, just said too early… bu tthen they did not have the memo traitor trmup had .. and not only did ZILTH with ti , but tried to get russia into teh g7 AGAIN…

    3. nevermore from past are you brave enough to watch a link? 😳https://youtu.be/0mgQaFlo_p8

  3. Grand Wizard Trump is getting desperate. Bunker Boy will get obliterated November 3rd. #TRE45ON

    1. Check out Putin’s Toy[click the J to play, over 4,100 views] It’s a punk rock anti Trump song featuring top Canadian musicians and female vocalists. I wrote it and do the lead vocals. Help yourself to a 2nd free download on my channel”Blood Sea” another old school punk rock gem, on how the poorest of the poor prop up the richest of the rich. Feel free to leave a comment william esp Borrero, I value your opinion.

  4. Trump’s really reading the mood of the nation well. It’s like he’s _trying_ to lose now.

    1. @Joel De Leon That was really stupid …..Oh the left would get there butts handed to them .

    2. @Kevin McNeil Also, *their. I’ll take my chances against an army of you seeing as you don’t have a proper education. It’ll almost be too easy.

    3. Lafayette Sq and now this? He’s toast. Even Mitch McConnell is advocating for masks, he can sniff the wind.

    4. @hmmcinerney In lieu of the desired cross burning, Benedict Donald will be putting on a July 4th fireworks display like no one has ever seen.

    1. @Al I’m in England, not seen it uploaded yet.
      I’ll get it in my notifications at some point.
      Spasiba!

    2. @Colin Cleveland Lincoln project has it here on YouTube on their sight, it’s brutally honest, twitty twumpy is going to fill his Depends

    3. @Al if trump serves any master it’s the house of Rothschild through Wilber Ross his commerce secretary, who is a known agent of the Rothschilds and organized trumps bankruptcy in the 80’s.

  5. this is exactly what a manchurian canidate would do ..more sadition and destruction from this soviet infiltrator will come.

    1. Just 4 yrs, trump will try and never leave. He would try for a coup and his cultists would follow and support him.

  6. Focus Donald. 150000.+ dead of covid19, bounties on soldiers heads, millions unemployed. Prioritize.

    1. That’s all he has left!, his base and whatever Putin has over him. If he goes against those two what then!?. He knows this and that’s why he will never go against them, because he knows that in (Nov.) he will lose!. Donald Trump doesn’t see a benefit to do the contrary.

  7. I`m so surprised that the republican party haven`t distance them self from Trump just to save their jobs an a seat.

  8. Ok when even the state of Mississippi government, dominated by conservatives, overwhelmingly says it’s time to move away from Confederate symbols, you know time has come.

  9. He didn’t have the “balls” to join the military when he was drafted “five times” because of “growth Spurs”….. he won’t protect the American Military right now!!!!! But he want to protect his Confederate heritage!!!!!….. who in Trump’s family fought in the Confederate War???

    1. @Irene Lopez I think you have a point! Nazis and Confederates are cut from the same cloth… they use the same Flags and symbols

  10. Trump defends confederate statues, but not our troops. He needs to resign so he can be tried for treason.

    1. He doesn’t defend our civilians either, he’s basically waved the white flag at the virus!

  11. Why don’t Trump take those statues to his properties and watch them for the rest of his life!!!
