Trump’s Removal Of Watchdogs May Reshape Oversight Of The Trump Administration | Deadline | MSNBC
He is never paid a price for any of his bad behavior and now he’s just diving into a trillion-dollar trove.
VOTE THIS LUNATIC OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE.TRUMP DISRUPTS EVERYONE LIFE FOR HIS BENEFIT. AMERICA IS IN TROUBLE AND REPUBLICANS WILL SUFFER.AS THERE IS NO ESCAPE FOR HARBOURING THIS CROOK.
Trump supporters put him in to destroy America for communism.
Darwin Tremor ‘walkaway’ has been proven to be a hashtag originated and pushed by Putin’s Internet Research Agency agents. Why are you helping them?
@Beverly Inkster Dont waste time trying to teach Trumpian supporters.
@Beverly Inkster, he sounded good, the dem’s shafted him, Pelosi
Trump and Kushner hate to be watched while they’re stealing.
@Brandi Hess lol, you are delusional.
Brandi Hess
How stupid are you? He’s laundering millions, that measly $400,000 means nothing. Plus if he would show his taxes, I’m sure it’s a deduction for giving to charities. Wake up and VOTE BLUE
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@David Diamond wow!!! Thank you!
@luis caro They exchange them for red caps.
my nephew went to high school with the devil incarnate kusher (frisch high school in paramus nj) everone hated him /was not the brightest bulb in the tanning bed HE NEVER HAD A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS , TRUMP IS EVEN WORSE LOST BILLIONS,
This makes it easier for Trump to misuse the money for his personal benefit!
@Brandi Hess haha, do you know in how many shapes and forms paychecks come..
Brandi Hess
Sure, you,d think the so called billionaire would be able to stop himself from stealing from charity but no, he couldn’t even do that.

You’d think these were unprecedented times when a substantial percentage of the American population are happy to vote for a charity thief to the highest office of the land.
But when you really look into it, the republicans have lacked the critical thinking skills to not vote crooks into power for some time now.
Since 1969, Republican presidential administrations have had 121 criminal indictments and 89 convictions within the Executive Branch.
While democrats have had 3 and 1 respectively.
Not voting crooks in power might also account for why Democratic districts are doing far better than republican.
From 2008 to 2018 Democratic districts, productivity per worker grew from $118,000 to $139,000; in Republican districts from $109,000 to $110,000.
In Democratic districts, household income rose from an average of $54,000 to $61,000, a 13 percent increase. In Republican districts, household income fell from $55,000 to $53,000, a 3.6 percent decline.
And it might also account for why blue states are bailing out the welfare queen red states.
Conservative “red” states of the south and west make up eight of the 10 states with the highest dependency on government, and 19 of the top 25.
Yet you’re telling people to wake up.??
And no we are not all the same type of human.
Some of us would like all politicians held to account and that means all.
@Brandi Hess that’s exactly why he’s stealing! Wake up!
I get it y’all. I’m wrong, you’re right. Blah blah blah
@Brandi Hess “I get it, I’m wrong”
Yup.
Covefe-45 is way more dangerous than Covid-19.
Covid45 is the synthesis.
Run with it.
I also like Pox News, Trump Virus and Trump Flu.
I guarantee you that trump is going to steal from this fund!!!
Herb Liptow for sure, his hotels are losing money, somebody has to pay 💰
HE ALREADY HAS
I understand that Adam Shift has taken upon himself to .be the overseer if no one is watching the loot.he does not intend to let orange face take it ..but the later is very coniving
He will think of something.this is getting worse and worse.
Yes,yes, yes he’s gonna get some of that money.. trump is the bank.. he got banks in china. Why you think he keeps saying they are good people. He’s in the money maker, he’s a con artist people’s. The economy is going down and people are dieing under this so called leader. He should be held accountable for what he’s doing… THIS IS UNPRECEDENTED “
Quit showing Trump on tv. He’s literally killing people with his lies.
When you’ve been spoon-fed manure by MSM for four years, it’s difficult to taste the truth. Isn’t it?
He’s a terriost
He’s not worried about the people who are dying because they’re Democrats.
Enough is enough. Please stop, stop, stop showing those briefing and the lies they be telling over, over, and over. Every time he’s telling lies, his four stooges in the back, taking a deep breath, cause they don’t know the blank coming out his mouth..
@Gregory Konkol🤣🤣🤣 hardly, because Democrats are smart and don’t listen to trumps halfcooked idiocities.🤣🤣🤣🤣
Inspectors general are an impediment to the looting that Trump is planning.
He may actually be a billionaire after this.
Ya think.
If people don’t wise up. I’m sure it’ll fail,but worried that this stimulus will end up in
Putin’s hands.
Yea for all the Russians help with the next election right. Trump seems reluctant to mail in voting, even if he can we can’t. No I don’t trust Trump to resist cheating in this election.
I feel the fix is in already because he’s trying so hard to have it his way.
Trump will be the Riches man in the world through secret deals with the 2 trillion dollar stimulus How could he get away with firing the inspectors!?!? WTF!! WTF!! Somebody do something
Ya know Moscow Mitch got his back for a cut of that pie.
2 trillion, you know Trump is charging a surcharge..$$$ Cha Ching!. What did Trump say about the Iraq war.
“Why didn’t we take the oil”?
“To the Victor goes the spoils”
That’s Trump’s mentality, he can’t help himself. So he can’t afford to have outside oversight because it would be the end of Trump.
The fact of it is the Republican Party is to blame for what he has done and what he is currently doing. Every single one of them should be afraid of what’s around the next corner.
Yea Democrat DEATH!
BOTH parties are chickenshit
Republican party doesnt care about USA. They just care about making tax cuts to billionaires who fund them. Why else would they keep hiring sexual predators for judiciary? So they dont go to jail.
Yes I agree, but so is the top of democratic party ,
The day Trump walks or gets dragged out of the White house will be the day America was made great .
@bobby bee never under estimate the power of the real American Hero’s the ones that have been planning TRUMPS take down he won’t leave office with America’s money . These silent HERO’S have been tracking every signal thing Trump has said and done it’s over for him.
@Linda Tils Sure hope you are correct in what you say, watching the apathy of the american people over the way this criminal has, lied and lied, yet nothing is done just blows me away. Never ever held accountable to date. It is scary. As I am not an american I just dont understand how some like Trump remains in office. Its a war, simply put you are fighting a war. So I just don’t understand. I love the people, but disapointed at the apathy .
Linda Tils Some of them are very angry. One supporter stated he hated me. He reasoned that because I did not curse or insult in any of my posts that I was “high and mighty.” He claimed because I used, “big teacher words” I believed I was better than anyone else. Lol!! To be honest, my final post to him was his false claims about me were his own insecurities. I have need to threaten, curse or swear to convey a message.
@Keith Christie DON’T ever let anyone try to convince you that what you see and hear Trump say is just the press taking his word out of context your not stupid
Linda Tils Thankyou Linda. People that stoop to their level amuse me. I posted to one Trump fanatic that he was like a modern day Kamikaze pilot (without the intelligence to fly a plane) following a demigod into a utopia that does not exist! Lol. I appreciate the kind words Linda. I hope you and you’re loved ones stay well. We will get through this.
He started blaming w.h.o at the same time he fired whistle blowers to cover up his own incompetence. Once again.
Ever watch a game of Find the lady?
Or the three shell game?
Watch the hands watch the hands _LOOK OVER THERE_
Where is the m$o$n$e$y?
This is why Tr🤮mp never showed his books.
It’ll take 40 years of lawsuits to prove how much he stole, and he’ll be long dead.
Yes he is reshaping everything for himself.
This is how democracy dies
Yes I think he is going to even cut Putin out of this.
This is crazy, how much more do we have to take from this criminal?
He needs to get the death penalty for killing the people of this country..
Dam right, karma is his fate and Trump is Long over due for it.
He’s setting himself up for a terrible Fall
The GOP are OK with this crook. Never forget that.
Just remember your vote matters. Forget the fact that Lee Harvey Oswald’s and John Wilkes Booth’s vote mattered more. There are no “legal” means to stopping tyrants. It would have been illegal to harm Hitler as well, but would have it been the right thing?
yes yes
No, the death penalty is just murder. It’ll be satisfying enough to see him rot in jail for the rest of his life.
He showed everyone who he was 3.5 years ago at the GOP debate. HELLO !
He’s still hiding his tax forms or lack of tax.
He has kept his books out of view so that it will take 40 years of lawsuits to prove how much he stole.
Head spike wall.
No President should be sworn in until all taxes have been submitted.
Period.
When criminals want to rob your house, first they have to get rid of your watchdog.
Yes so true
Calling him president is itself a big insult .. i can’t even call him human
Trump remind me of when I let the dog out to do is business and then I step in his business and it’s on the bottom of my shoe. That’s Trump on the bottom of my shoe. I was really hoping that he would get the covid-19. so we can give him the guinea pig medicine. Good luck Donald Duck
Truth! Enough said, I agree 💯.
@Jorg Childres 😤
@Jorg Childres male bovine excrement.
@sunny06515 you’ll need to pray for everyone in my church too.
The worst human being ever to hold American office. There is no close second
Woodrow Wilson
@Ron Mayb Would he have separated tender-aged children from the parents and thrown them into (literally) cages – where some died?
@JS GuitarGeek great point
The firing of watchdogs is the sign of a failed nation, on the way to its demise. Stop this lunatic before it is too late. Or is it really too late?
This was inevitable! He’s a crook and now hands his hands on the cookie jar!
He intends to steal the money. He can’t steal with oversight in place. Honest brokers have to go!
That was basically the Ukraine scandal, Trump getting rid of honest people that wouldn’t go along with Trump and Rudy’s illegal scheme.
He can pay off his Russian crime boss loans and resolve the Cyprus Deutchebak conflict. Fred always bailed Donny out, uncle sam will now.
