  1. Cadet Spanky McBonespurs does nothing but embarrass America…
    and even though he’s too stupid to realize it…
    himself…

    1. The man can’t read silently and needs to think out load.

      Unless he hears it out load he can’t wrap his mini mind around it.

      Hens all the gaffs and backtracking.

      Something bad left unsaid is one thing you don’t have to apologize for.

      Silence is golden.

    1. @Just For Fun Well, most of that is the result of the US election system. The electoral college system is pretty bad for a democratic system, because it enables the gerrymandering that plagues all US elections. A much simpler popular vote would not allow as much corruption and “cheating” of the system. But, well, until the electoral college gets abolished, it’s still the rules, even if the rules are clearly biased…

    2. America needs four more years if him. Know why??? You can never have too much “positive reinforcement”😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  2. Trump lies so often, so he doesn’t remember what he said before. Does he know everything is on tape?

    1. @radio boys How’s this one? “He who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and a third time, till at length, it becomes habitual.” Thomas Jefferson.

    2. in all fairness, what he said is not on tape, but rather on some kind of memory card. I don’t know what kind of storage professional cameras have — but it’s some kind of flash memory presumabely.

    1. @Sam Brenna he reduced the deficit are you kidding me were do you get your info. Everything you said is a complete lie

    1. Could not agree more… these individuals have blood on their hands for so many reasons, including their lack of action on gun control and sleeping in bed with the NRA.

    2. @Kirk Moore Oh ya, get rid of this unhinged maniac too! I can’t stand looking at his face. He’s as big a hypocrite as they come. Caught on tape contradicting himself on many issues! I just can’t stand there shameless actions and speech.

    3. While you’re at it vote out AZ Gov Doug Ducey he appointed McSally after she LOST her race against Sienna. Ducey is also a brown moser to Trump.

  3. Clueless on the economy! Clueless on foreign policy! Clueless on the constitution! One of Trumpies teachers said “Trump was the stupidest student he ever met in his long career.”

  4. Trump and his very big brain thinks he IS the smartest guy!! You don’t think for a second he’d listen beyond hello to the smart people around him, do you?? Believe him when he tells you who he is!!

  5. I don’t believe for one minute Trump will take responsibility for a recession. He’s already blaming others for even claiming one will happen.

    1. Exactly, he is going to blame media and dems. They wanted recession, their all against me. Wawa! Its all so predictable. He is pathetic.

    2. Can you believe he’s blaming the press? He is so desperate to pass on his mistakes to anywhere where it might stick.

  6. It continues to amaze me how much that racist Cheeto embodies white privilege.
    He’s utterly unqualified for pretty much anything other than sounding like a moron and somehow he continues to fail upwards and be totally untouchable.
    Like he seriously doesn’t do even a fraction of the work most people do, let alone a president, and yet he’s still there.
    It’s frankly fascinating and terrifying.

    1. Trump should be locked up but I would be happy if they would just set him up to cheat at golf, rest of his sorry life, leave us all alone to try and clean up mess he left!!

    1. Is it possible that he still might be given sensitive intelligence material? Remember the Oval Office when he did so with his bragging to the Russians?

  7. Trump claimed that tarriffs will not hurt America only China, with Trump just automatically take whatever he claims in the opposite direction then you’ll get the truth. It is hurting America.

    1. Tarrifs are bankrupting farmers and farmers are losing everything. They are even committing suicide because they are losing farms that have been in their families for generations. This is beyond sad. If they voted for him, I guess they are getting what they deserve.

    1. True…economy never that great. Unemployment #s always suspect from all governments. Stock market is more like pyramid scheme, does not indicate real economy. For decades middle class losing…rich getting richer.

    1. The beginning of him running for the office !!! At all his rally his favor say!!! Drain the swamp!!! Exactly what he’s doing draining the American people!!! If he win majority of Americans will be living in and swamp atmosphere!!!

    2. If America goes bankrupt, would you be willing to sell?, I know a few people that would be willing to buy.

    1. Certifiable! Laurence O’Donnell just interviewed Psychiatrist Dr Lance Dodes..He was one of the early MD’s to warn about The Don. He and Dr John Gartner were on MSNBC early in ’17. Then joined Dr Bandi Lee in the book The Dangerous Case of Donal Trump. Now revised with ten more joining in the warning.

    1. I know… every time he points a finger at those who are not flattering him and calls them fake, I immediately think that if anybody is fake, it’s Donald Trump!!! Wake up those who have supported him. We (America) can do MUCH BETTER!

    1. 73 years old, his multimillionaire father, he built NYC City Housing Complexes, after a 6 year battle with it, passed away in 1999 from Alzheimer’s. Google the symptoms, you DON’T have to be a Dr to see what’s actually happening, and he’s getting worse every day.

    2. They should have done that before he was sworn in, it was obvious then he was unfit for running a circus, that alone a country.

    1. Indeed. He says a lot of “nothing” when he does speak. It is so embarrassing! Equally embarrassing are the morons who voted for this clown. All the signs were there during the campaign that Trump had the least experience to be POTUS, never mind his awful/immoral behavior – caught on tape mind you!
