  1. DJT reminds me of the game, “Whack -a-Mole”…..every time he gets hit with a crime or gross mistake, he just bounces back. America needs a bigger hammer.

    1. @Dog Poo Fairy yes, I’ve thought of that. He definitely did the things. He is a scam artist and con man. He is nothing but grift and bloat.

    2. @GenRN is that what this channel told you? I wouldn’t take any notice of what they say one here, it’s nearly as unreliable as MSNBC.

    3. since u seem to only watch liberal info, may i inform you that every dossier, steele report, impeachment, raid etc have all failed& flopped due to their baselessness?

    4. @tony borelli Trump University lawsuit cost DJT over $25M to avoid jail. He stole millions from students and got caught. The impeachments succeeded in that proof was adequate to show crimes were committed. DJT was not removed from office because that’s up to the Senate, which was controlled by the GOP and voted along partisan lines. The stealing of Classified docs and Obstruction of justice are exceptionally clear-cut crimes any high school student can understand. DJT has more political. financial and legal resources than any criminal in US history = a very lengthy period of investigation/prosecution. Wake up….the Donald is a criminal and leader of the largest domestic anti-democracy movement in history….and he’s an expert at manipulating weak minds such as yours.

    5. Or you could try cheering him on for dealing with adversity and getting back up! Im sure you felt that way everytime biden fell off his bicycle or whatever

  2. This is actually hilarious. There is no honour, no integrity, no conscience, nothing that comes close to “christianity” in Trump. Yet the main group that always back him are evangelicals.

    1. @KB Peters, Joe Biden also wants to thank you for your tax dollars that he was able to launder thru Ukraine, by way of FTX crypto. The 39.2 million dollar donation made by Sam Bankman-Fried, to the democratic slush fund, I mean campaign, will go a long way towards Hunter Biden’s tax evasion defense

    2. @KB Peters, oh and Joe Biden forgot to mention that he helped give birth to the preditory student loan business back in 2005. Now he wants taxpayers to pay for his mistake that he created

    1. @Dog Poo Fairy say, how many kids did drug dealers kill with the “Rainbow Fentanyl” the fake news wouldn’t stop fear mongering about before Halloween? None? Oh, I guess y’all got worked up over nothing yet again.

    2. This is a disaster.. if Trump becomes president again, he will probably improve the economy and make America energy independent again, and also protect the borders, and lower the price of gas, and he will also stop the war in Ukraine.. this cannot be allowed to happen.

    1. I know better the situation!
      My owners are so afraid to fight Russia directly, so use me and my NaziNose for weaking Russia..
      but unfortunately they weaking themselves 😭
      Oh oh oh ….
      I’m so suffering 😫
      Only my coco help me nowadays
      Give me more cocco

    2. @Helen Malina if cognitive tests aren’t hard why won’t Biden take one? With so many in your country believing he’s in cognitive decline surely it would be a good idea to reassure them that their president doesn’t have dementia.

    3. You must have missed the 2020 election. He got 74 million votes. Almost 12 million more than in 2016. The odds of that happening and him losing is astronomical.

    4. @Dog Poo Fairy I’ve helped my husband with putting on his jacket many times and he helped me He was perfectly capable of doing it himaelf, as was I, and as is Biden capable of it. It is simply a matter of caring about other people. Something I don’t believe you understand how to do. Learn a little kindness. Practice it everyday. The world’s a better place if we do this one simple thing – kindness.

  3. Trump seems to be slowly and surely losing grounds,now that the big donors are saying openly that they would rather support somebody else

    1. @Faith & Freedom did you mean to say peasant? JFC, what happened to education in this country. Edit that comment, FFS. You sound like a moron.

    1. @Faith & Freedom what’s fake, Sweaty? My prediction? It’s just a guess. How could it be “fake”. LOL you sound pretty brainwashed.

    2. @KING JAMES Turnip will definitely win a lot of the GOP vote when he runs independently. He will split it with whoever gets the Republican nomination ensuring a victory for the Democratic candidate.

    3. @Jewdy

      Noooo!!!

      Don’t tip off those MAGA Republicans!!!

      Let’s watch them vote for whomever they want. It’s their absolute right.

    4. @Jewdy yes and everyone know it but don’t keep broadcasting it, because maybe they will second guess having DeSantis run. I really want to see them fight it out. Pence life was literally at stake and I want to see if DeSantis goes that route to hold Trump accountable for Jan 6th. The worst thing they could do is work together.

  4. Wow thank you for this NON BIASED coverage, very ENLIGHTENING and MATURE, i was blown away by the ORIGINALITY and DEPTH of your viewpoints, my whole life has changed now

    1. We all know and should take notice and admit that the truth hearts. Just take it easy you be alright, after all it’s only the truth that is spoken here on CNN.

    2. @Dog Poo Fairy lol before i respond to your question i want to say that i really like your evolved sense of humor !
      I dont know if i should tell you which one i was doing though 🙂

    3. CNN fears Trump, Cnn no longer news..now propaganda=any movement or organization to propagate some practice or ideology, dissemination of information intended to promote a political point of view, implying bias or deliberate misleading

    4. @Drew Ruth
      Keep crying Trumponzees 😭😭😭😭
      Keep dreaming in the lala land Trumponzees
      While we are winning all across the board. 😂😂😂😂

  5. They weren’t on board the first time he ran. It wasn’t up to them. The real question is, will the American people get on board. The republicans will follow their own self interest.

  6. For me, being outside of the US is really shocking that this is happening. I cannot fathom how the man who stirred up an angry mob and made that mob attack the Capitol, where people died, can still run for president of the United States.

    I have always thought that the highest legal institutions in the United States are the most efficient in the world, and something like this, such a violation of the constitution and a crime, cannot happen in this day and age, and if it does, there will be the most severe consequences for people who committed such an act. When it comes to Trump, the US is like a third-world country.

    1. @Mr. Robot You are so naive.🤣 All’s well around election time. Watch the folly begin. The Democrats are gonna try to push their “Wants” through Congress before the Good guys take over the House.

    2. @Useless Cause Why don’t you ask our current military members and our Vets who they support. You’ll see how wrong you are. Biden didn’t even show up for the Army vs Navy Football game because he knew he would have been booed outta the Stadium. They all cheered Trump when he went. Did you also approve of Biden leaving $85 billion dollars worth of Military Hardware and weapons to the Taliban? How about when Biden checked his watch every 2 minutes at the funerals of the 13 dead Servicemen and women? How is Trump a traitor? Because he loves America and wants to make it great?🤣Try again.

    3. @Joboygbp Edwards I actually voted for Gabbard, and what specifically did Trump do for the Military? He made fun of McCain for getting caught as a POW, guy sickens me.

    4. @James C. You did know that McCain and Trump didn’t get along, right? McCain let his petty feud with Trump influence his deciding vote on Obamacare. So you voted for Gabbard in the Primary and no one in the Presidential Election? At least you were right about Gabbard. She’s now a Republican. You have no right to complain about anything if you didn’t vote. Hard to believe an ex military guy wouldn’t vote. Were you in the Coast Guard?

  7. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger can have a huge effect on Trump’s chances of winning by running against him. If he beats them in the primary they can team up and run on the same ticket as Independents in the general. They would only need to take a few thousand votes from Trump in some swing states to keep him out of the White House. That shouldn’t be too hard considering how many sane and reasonable Republicans abandoned that party once Trump took it over.

  8. 🇺🇸🗽 He thinks he’s God. All I have to say is 🗣️ he is a manipulative person, all for his own political gains!
