    1. Still better than a career politician that has caused arguably the worst economy in our nation’s history.

    2. @Shane Lindie I can say that I’ve never filed for bankruptcy. I can say that I’ve never cheated on my wife. I can say that I’ve never grabbed an unsuspecting woman by the “you know what”. I can say that I’ve never committed a felony. Wait for the indictments.

  1. Dump’s business record tells you all you need to know about how successful he is or ever will be at anything that isn’t illegal.

  2. We need to place a higher emphasis on education Nationwide… 🚫🔥📚

    In order to better prepare our citizenry to make informed decisions, leading an inclusive direction for our Republic in it’s entirety.

  3. Trump is the very last person on this green earth who should ever be in position of power or authority.

    Discipline? 🤯

  4. Well my gut instinct concerning Trump has always been that that man can’t play regular chest let alone 3D chess; so to hear that Trump played it by ear concerning North Korea I am not surprised… SMH just grateful to of lived through it🤙

    1. Leave Billions upon Billions of taxpayer dollars in military arms and equipment to our enemy 13 lives lost does that ring a bell Chris …… crickets …… nah we do not want to talk about the completely ffddd up withdraw from Afghanistan now do we.

  5. I am surprised so many Americans think so highly of trump. When I was studying my masters program years ago, I still remembered a visiting professional from NYU claimed that trump was too highly rated by most who didn’t know him.

    1. We have to look at success. We have to look at his business success and we also have to look at the success that he gave the American economy while he was president. If we remove all of the political hate, we must come to the realization that during his early term he gave Americans a supercharged economy with full employment at 33.3%. Black unemployment was at a historic low level and the Wall Street Journal had to report that lower and middle income Americans received a higher percentage of wage increase the upper class Americans.
      All of this came to an end when COVID-19 was released upon the world. Trump removed the bureaucratic road blocks and two vaccines came to market at record time. He also initiated operation warp speed that even Joe Biden had to complement him about. At the end of trumps term we were moving forward with a 6% rate of growth and a 1.5% rate of inflation.
      Compare lamp to the worst economy in over 40 years that we are facing right now and economists prediction of a deep and long lasting Biden recession.

  6. He’s that guy that can be talking to you, notice a butterfly and lose his whole train of thought, “Oh look at the pretty butterfly!” No genius there…

  7. “Pretty cool. Pretty cool, right? Right? I’m billionaire and President of the United States, but I’m still desperate for personal validation. Was it cool? Am I cool, Bob? Tell me I’m cool?”

    1. Someday he’ll be “cool”. For real! Core temp will drop, rigor mortis will kick in. . . and I shall pop a champagne cork & celebrate BIGLY!🍾💃

    2. @cheri lynn fisher “Diers are losers forever.” — philosophical deep thinker and “stable genius” Trump

  8. Trump was definitely not playing three dimensional chess as president, or ever. He, his advisors and his aids were playing Twister.

  9. Reminds me of something Carl Sagan said about “gut instincts”: “I think better with my brain than with my stomach.”
    DT was apparently doing the best he could, given the available equipment.

  10. My first evaluation of TJD was Dunning Krueger Poster-child,
    time and again he lived down to the stereotype.
    Best President ever…
    For the comedian, and political cartoonist.

  11. Reminds me of this: A commonly referenced quote is “The reason the American Army does so well in wartime, is that war is chaos, and the American Army practices it on a daily basis.” This is believed to have been said by a German General following World War II. In the case of Trump it worked, but, only out of sheer luck. Almost makes this atheist believe that humanity has a guardian angel.

  12. It’s still incredible to think he became president of the USA… how on God’s green earth did that happen?
