  1. Like attracts like:

    Trump is a weak, insecure whiny “victim”, which to me sounds like a pretty accurate description of the Cult45.

  2. A Nation cannot be truly great without a Moral Compass and the Truth is a moral compass can only point you in the right direction; it can’t make you go there. This Nation need to elect leaders who have a strong moral compass, Leaders who are honest, straightforward, and tough – with a love of justice and fair play. None of which has been exhibited by Trump, The House or Senate Republicans. The Republican Party as of 16th July 2019 is No Longer the Grand Old Party (GOP) but is the Sycophantic Party of Racist Bigoted Xenophobes who prostrate themselves before their Deity a Misogynistic, Egotistical; Megalomaniac; Demagogue, Authoritarian, Xenophobic White Nationalist 73 year old Bigoted/Racist man-child. “… If we ever closed the door to new Americans, our leadership in the world would soon be lost.” President Ronald Reagan 19th January 1989. I wonder what a Real President like Reagan would think of the GOP now.

  3. I don’t think i can take another year of this clown. He needs to go back to being a pro-wrestling heel selling steaks and scams.

  4. If the people who are at his rallies only knew how much he makes fun of them and calls them white trash.

  5. where are the republicans to allow this to happen they need to lose their seats in congress and hang their heads
    in shame

  6. Lol!! And to think the neoliberal Wall Street Democrat national committee lost to this fascist warthog back in 2016.

  7. Looked to me like a lot of that audience abstained from chanting. As for doing it deliberately, you can see him stare in the direction of the first chant, and wait for it. The cue was ‘obviously and importantly’.

  8. Provocative hate rally spectacle, coming from a guy who’s grandfather was German and listening to that rhetoric is almost back to the future

  9. You media folks need to quit pandering to Trump. Every time you bring up his stupid antics, you play into his game.

  10. Intentionally stoking racial animus to get attention and applause. Great idea Doony, I’m sure that’ll end well…

  11. rachel your showing cowardice and at least an indifference to what your reporting ..” by his recent doubledown on racist tweets ,is he trying to distract from other news ” no rachel he isnt what he is doing is stoking the flames of racism so that he can arouse a hiltler like mob of people to elevate himself to a position where noone can remove him . your enabling this for some reason most lokely money.
