    1. a lot more than just him need to be jailed…problem is, its closed minded, clueless and conditoned fools such as yourself that prevent that from happening… go back to sleep sheep

    1. Absolutely, and keep a track on all the family / business / other finances and assets are not being moved offshore even now.

    2. Doc Ritchie like I said in the earlier post, I think we should all pitch in and have a prison built right on the Mexico border so every time Donald Trump wants to go out for a stroll he has a nice view of his wall!

    1. @jayhwk01 that’s a bald faced lie. I come at you hard because we’ve got to stop this deliberate spread of misinformation. It’s madness. Hillary Clinton released all of her and Bill’s taxes dating from the last millennium. Everybody since Nixon have released their taxes, they have nothing to hide. Apparently Trump does.

    2. @Giovanni D “It is the economy stupid” Bill Clinton. He was right then and nothing has changed. Sorry you can’t see it.

    3. @Stacia Smith Well Stacia you can come hard all you like but see the problem is historical fact tells quite another story. For starters not everybody since Nixon has. Gerald Ford did not, he only released glorified overviews, and nobody cared. Mittens Romney released all of two. Ronald Reagan all of one total and nobody cared. While it may be politically expedient it is not legally required unless directly requested by Congress. Then it is required. A Federal Judge has ruled anyone under audit is not required to turn over returns until the audit is complete. Now personally I think that is a bit of a sham but that is the ruling of the bench and Trump remains under audit. If you are mad at Trump because he and millions of others use the tax code to evade taxes you are directing you anger in the wrong direction. You can look to 200+ years of Congressional tax code and direct your aggravation there. Now as to Hillary. You see I said, “Probably the same reason Hillary didn’t”. I am old enough to remember the Federal investigation into the Rose Law Firm or the “Whitewater Scandal”. I am also old enough to remember how she refused to hand over tax returns from the Arkansas years even when Bill wanted to and their attorneys advised them to. So Hillary released four years of return that were in question but not the crucial 5th year investigators were looking for. Then suddenly out of the blue she released that final year….the day after the statute of limitations ran out on pursuing legal action against her. Let us also not forget she had her taxes re-filed in 2016. Then candidate Clinton refiled her taxes because it was discovered by Rueters, yes then news service not her million dollar accountants, to amend “errors” in 2010,2011,2012, and 2013. Had Hillary not chosen to release her returns I would have told you the same thing I did about Donald. She is not required to. See I am not pretending Donald is a Boy Scout. I have no illusion that he is not hiding money. The difference between you and I is I see them as equally dirty players and you hate the players and I hate the game. So when I said for the same reason Hillary didn’t it is not a lie. It is factually correct. She didn’t release anything until a sitting judge made her, it could no longer hurt her, it was politically expedient and Donald is going to do the exact same thing. So come at me hard but you are doing it in ignorance of the historical record.

  1. Trump* is a man without honor character integrity values or a conscious.
    He is capable of doing anything.

    *IMPEACHED

    1. In Nov you’re gonna be saying but but but he was impeached and he’s still gonna be your big Orange Daddy boy . And all you can do is cry 💔😭😭😭.

    2. 125min thanks. I see there is a Trump* trollbot trolling today. A bot who likes doing what it can to hurt people, without any chance for gain in doing so.

      * Impeached

  2. If there’s ever a remake of the movie, The Flim Flam Man, we can all guess who’d make a good leading man. It could easily be a biography.

    1. Ha! And tRump will probably be eager to do it ’cause you know, it’s all about being a celebrity, never mind why.

  3. Remember when Trump had to pay off Stormy Daniel’s? Yeah he’s such a good president paying off prostitutes

    1. @Junkyard Hog – He didn’t destroy any emails. He just refused to hand any over. It’s not that Democrats can’t be crooks but that you’re comparing apples and oranges (no pun intended). Trump’s criminality is unrivaled.

    2. @Junkyard Hog Liar. He paid to settle a totally unmerited civil-suit go away because he would have had to defined while trying to do the job of being President of the U.S.A.. She changed her story when Republicans paid her to change it. This was Paul Jones. What’s the names of the other three women you say he paid?

    1. @John Roberts Oh Lord have mercy on this poor soul.
      Step one Congress investigate.
      Step 2 the House of Representatives Take a vote.
      Step 3 the Senate becomes jury and judge.

    2. @John Roberts Look John leave it alone. Tomorrow when you go to school Find yourself the smartest teacher. And bring it on. I’ll wipe the floor with you and him

    1. BBBRave The Republicans who go along with this will find themselves following Trump, his criminal family & his FAILED Administration, etc.et.al down a dark & murky, bottomless snake pit.

  4. I sure hope that he gets locked up like he says about everybody he doesn’t like, because he knows that’s where he belongs. He thinks he’s above the law like Barr and Giuliani.

    1. The only conman that is sitting in the White House openly and verbally conned our justice department and the American people. Trumps power trip is getting out of hand. I cry for our country and I pray that God will send justice sooner before he totally destroy America. Don’t forget to cast your vote this November.

    2. Question is: what do you do when he loses election and refuses to vacate the White House promises. It is not a joke, it is serious.

  5. Anyone who continues to defend the rancid ball of butter who calls himself the president is either a complete fool or downright evil.

    1. Marine 1775 that really is horrible! I wish more of these people would come forward so everybody can see what he’s about. But I am sure they are afraid as well.

    2. Trump cares about himself first and foremost and market is no indication of anyone in control you just got lucky if you made money, you can lose it easy enough market goes up and down all the time

  6. For a non-American looking on like me, it is mystifying how wealthy people in USA appear immune to the rigors of the law.
    Very strange indeed.

    1. @oakinwol New Zealand here.

      I’m sure that rich people with access to the best lawyers have a better than equal chance of paying a reduced price but I have never witnessed anything remotely as blatant as what I am seeing with chump and his numerous minions.
      America isn’t the only country in the world that believes in a fair shake for every citizen.WE just don’t stand on top of a tree shouting out our virtues like some places i could name! 😉

    2. @aquelpibe Correct! Please don’t rest on your laurels.Motivate everyone you know to get out and vote that arsehole out.
      Then start on your corrupt Senate…….

    3. Ged Farnan The worst part is that the people who can actually see this happening in America can’t do anything about it. He will do anything to stay in power and now Republicunts have given him the go ahead to keep doing whatever he wants.

  7. And yet the poorest of the poor will defend him to their grave all because they both share the same imaginary friend

    1. It’s a bit like the blind leading the blind , when you have a moron in charge at the white house morons will follow him !!

    2. @Henry Coats. . . He is manipulating the psuedo-Christian evangelicals in order to gain political power. They respond to the devil’s whistle like the lapdogs they are.

  8. Ms. Maddow didn’t mention another Trump money scandal.
    Trump Taj Mahal Atlantic City.
    Bankruptcy/ closed
    Takes a special business man to go bust on a casino.

    1. That was a mafia scam. I’m surprised it wasn’t burned to the ground for the insurance money as is their usual M.O.

    2. and _you_ didnt mention the other casinos that did the EXACT SAME THING (hilton, sands, revel, golden nugget etc etc) during the same time period…you disingenuous & deceptive moron

  9. Dont worry about trump getting re-elected let’s get control of the Senate so we can impeach him again the right way

    1. We need to do both, and we need to do it with out embracing the tactics of the RNC- or we just replace one tyrant with a different flavor one.

  10. He’s a grifter, learning everything he knows about scamming as a young man from his father and it’s the legacy he has passed onto his own kids.

    1. Among Donnie’s first victims were his mom and dad- how touching! I hope Barron turns our better than his sibs!

    2. …catch me if you can…
      Disgusting criminals in training that become prolific students of white collar crime…
      How did he get the city owned waterfront property in da Bronx?

    1. @Jonny Sandtrap i agree but what in the sam hel. are YOU going to do about it BITC4 on youtube all day get off your dead butt and take action
