'Art Of The Deal' Co-Author: 'Terrified' Trump Will 'Get Way Worse'

77 comments

  1. This huge POS has never been put in a position like this. All he has ever done is lie, cheat, steal and bully his way out of everything! He can do it on his own, but not for this country!! He must be hung for treason or put in prison.

    1. @McKittrick Hyatt If China isn’t treason it certainly should be
      Especially when added to the Ukraine and Russia. He’s not going to stop there !

    2. truerealityscott …. Hey… I don’t disagree with you regarding Trump being an SOB or that he’s been conspiring. I agree all the way.

    3. Mark Culley I’d prefer the former. Also for Manafort, Flynn and Barr. They’re all treasonous co-conspirators.

    4. Karen Shaub … I agree with virtually everything you say. But, like it or not… it isn’t treason. Legally, according to the Constitution, treason can ONLY exist if a war is actually declared against the country in question. We are not in a ‘declared war’ against China. Nor Russia, nor the Ukraine. This is all a callous and vicious betrayal by Trump, and it’s illegal and impeachable. And HOPEFULLY the Senate Republicans will step up like patriots and convict him. But don’t get tangled up in all the yelling about treason and hanging. Those avenues aren’t possible… hollering for those are a waste of valuable time and it invalidates the importance of what you are saying. Holler for the Senate to ‘convict and remove him. Call the U.S.Capitol and have them connect you to your Senators’ offices (202) 226-8000 and ask for the staff assistant handling this issue.

    1. In Trump’s tiny mind, Pelosi (who is a grandmother, and far more present to her family than Trump has ever been) can only BE a grandmother. He thinks it’s diminishing her by using the cookie meme.

    2. It’s just his transparency and shallow nature. $100 says he left the podium and ate an entire package of Oreos.

    3. figures a rotund individual would speak of them as cookies. he’s probably jealous he hasn’t gotten one yet.

  2. As they say with typical narcissism, the afflicted will accuse others of the VERY thing they are guilty of. They will also try extremely hard, to their own detriment, to ruin the lives, reputations, financials of those they feel are responsible for their ‘downfall’, because it can’t be their own fault, and blame everything on them. It will be a very bumpy, unpleasant, stressful ride for the WH and the American people – if they don’t carry this out swiftly.

    1. Trump will want to see “Rome Burn” in the end and we gave him access to the Nuclear “Go Codes”…

    1. James Soltis : There will be NO civil war, OK. Stop the fear mongering, unless you’re trying to HELP the Trump Tramps with their LAME, “threats.”

    2. D Snyder That will never happen with Trump. They have to drag him kicking and screaming out of the White House !

  3. I did just buy some “Nancy’s Nestles Toll House Cookies.”
    Their Motto, “For whom does the bell toll?”
    And they are pretty sweet.

    1. Do not ask for whom the bell tolls, Mr. President. It tolls for thee! And that bell is shouting out a ringing endorsement for impeachment. Just ask Ernest Hemingway.

  4. He has never been legitimate! I imagine in his mind those 5 people that voted for him makes him legit but he has always been a clown since the iOS in my book.

  5. The president of Finland laughs.
    As does most of the rest of the world.
    In a sad kind of way.
    Vote in 2020 or be damned.

    1. @9 GODPeople not voting against turd trumpf and the electorial college produced this mess in the White House.

  6. “I gave you a long answer!” Trump thinks that as long as his response is long winded, then no one will notice that he didn’t answer the question.

    1. Longwinded answers to questions other than what were asked has been a strategy from many a politician and it works… for a while. Eventually, if the issue is serious enough, they will be pressed to give an actual answer and this has both flummoxed and brought down more intelligent and politically experienced people than trump.

    1. Actually that’s part of the psychosis. He needs to be able to say, look how these people are persecuting me just because had a perfect phone call!
      Playing the martyr is another part this mental illness, he’s already proclaimed himself “The Chosen One” !

  7. ‘The Con of the Don’ .
    Its a story with a twist ending.
    Right now we’re at the newest cliffhanger hoping for that final climax.
    Please dont make a sequel.
