    1. @UCzLhJeYNoxuBIeorhCPx7MA You need to back up your accusations with some solid proof. So far all we have is an investigation into Hunter Biden that Trump insisted take place before he left office. Just like the Durham investigation into the “Origins” of the 2016 Russia investigation. It’s been nearly 3 years now and nobody even knows what or who Durham is even investigating nor how much tax money he’s spent so far. All I know is Trump Supporters are real quick to make accusations and NEVER supply any evidence. In a Trump supporters eyes we have to prove that their lies are actually lies.

    2. @Anita Bruton Unfortunately Dump cult clansmen will never believe that Dump is a proven liar, over 30,000 lies and still counting. They refuse to believe because they bought into these stupid lies and now do not wish to look like the idiots they are. It takes moral honesty to admit that you are wrong.

    3. I’m giving 5000 to 1 odds that not a single penny will be returned to even one person who wants their money back.

    4. @Mimzy Jinx Except the fact that he isn’t rich and his net worth is only by the properties him and his wife owns but still has pending mortgages for. So, your comment is moot. Biden has the least net worth of any president.

    1. I wouldn’t go that far, but he WAS a saint compared to the self-proclaimed ruler of America.

    2. @Aggressive Attitude Era somehow I doubt a saint would have needlessly let 400k people die on his watch. How do you explain that? Not to mention all the other corruption he caused. He is the devil in disguise.

    3. @Bootie Shaker I think “Aggressive Attitude Era” was referring to a previous comment about McCain by JD Russel.

  1. The irony of Donald Trump supporters saying “stop the Steal”…. When Donald Trump was literally stealing their money! hilarious

    1. @N 827 Oh and I guess that’s why Trump was sued for defrauding students, why he’s under multiple investigations, why he hid his taxes. Because Trump’s a CRIMINAL!!! Oh and you want to talk about racism, corruption and cheating? That’s Trump, PERIOD!!! And I can prove it. Where’s your proof?

    2. @N 827 Oh and I have compiled a list of 37 reasons why Trump didn’t deserve a second term. All VERIFIABLE facts.

      Why Trump doesn’t deserve a second term

      1. Committed human rights violations, (taking babies and toddlers away from their parents)
      2. Told Bob Woodward how dangerous the virus was, that it was 5 times deadlier than the flu and was easily passed thru the air.

      13. Had private meetings with Putin where no one in his cabinet was allowed to know what was said.
      14. Told 4 congresswomen to “go back to the countries they came from and fix things there” before criticizing him. Of those 4 women, 3 are American born citizens and one is naturlized, two are black, one is Latino and the 4th, a Muslim
      15. Turned the DOJ into his personal law firm to prosecute his political enemies and protect his political allies.
      16. Hired Bill Barr as his Attorney General to be his Roy Cohn, to do his political dirty work
      17. When asked to condemn terrorist groups, Trump refused, telling the Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by”
      18. Told people in his administration to break the law and he’d pardon them.
      19. Said he was the “chosen one”
      20. Pressured the CDC to change it’s guidelines to suit HIS agenda, at the risk of harm to the American pubic
      21. Recommended using disinfectant and UV light internally to fight covid

      24. Was fine with mass casualties to achieve “herd immunity”
      25. Had his DOJ cover up crimes committed by members of his administration.
      26. Used the DOJ to free his criminal allies and prosecute his political rivals

      29. Incited an attack on his own country
      30. Praised his people for attacking the Capitol building on his behalf
      31. When Trump went on overseas visit to England, he was greeted by protests from the citizens of England
      32. When Trump appeared at a baseball game, he was greeted by chants of “Lock Him Up”
      33. The Mueller report documented 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice.
      34. Refused to get the Federal Government involved in the fight against Covid, instead, let the states fight over ventilators and PPE.
      35. When Trump spoke in front of the UN general assembly, he was laughed at. Trump has made the USA the laughing stock of the world.
      36. Altered an outdated Hurricane map with a sharpie, trying to prove that he was right about where it was supposed to go.
      37. Remarked about the continental Army in the Revolutionary War captured the airports.

    3. @N 827 Oh, and I forgot this.

      38. Had Louis DeJoy, who NEVER worked in or for the post office, installed as Postmaster General to sabotage the post office so that it couldn’t handle the expected volume of mail in ballots.

    4. @N 827 Yeah, Trump is such a great president he got impeached twice and oversaw the deaths of over 400,000 Americans on his watch and couldn’t care less and said and DID so. The mass rallies in the middle of a pandemic when he KNEW how dangerous it was. Trump deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison. Trump’s a TRAITOR, PERIOD!!!

  2. They have since found out and still support him. “We are all born ignorant. But we must work hard to remain stupid.” ~ Benjamin Franklin

  3. He got a no interest loan from his donors without their permission. We used to call this stealing. Always read the fine print! He was crying about voter fraud as he was perpetuating wire fraud. Fraud guarantee!😂🤣😂

    1. You voted for men in the girls room !! You voted to ruin woman’s sports by letting men play ,you voted for higher taxes ,higher gas prices ,more than 2 sexes, you voted for the commies and your talking crap about uneducated !!! LOL,LOL,LOL,!!!!!!!!

    2. You have to remember Trump was a D sudent and his dad payed his way into school and trump payed people to do his work ..

  4. “There’s a sucker born every minute,” early examples of its use are found among gamblers and confidence tricksters, Certainly fits.

    1. PT Barnum is looking down, or up, and saying, “Man, this Trump fella is a no-good dirty crook!”.

    1. Anyone know one persons name this actually happened to that has been proven? Why do you people listen to this non sense. They’ll say whatever they want you to hear and none of you look it up.

    1. They just didn’t realize that ripping people off is what his “business” has always been.
      (And he did promise to run the country like he ran his businesses – the one promise he kept.)

  5. ROFL my last YouTube account got banned for laughing and making fun of those idiots who donated 😭🤣🤣😂. Genius’s!

    1. They really can’t take what they dish out. Mine was banned for comments I made to the Trump cult members is what I call them as well.

    2. @Valicity Hudson YouTube cancelled my account too because they didn’t like my trump sarcasm to his supporters lmaoooo

    3. Me too!!!! Hence my clever new name. I just wish they had given enough to financially bankrupt them as badly as they’ve all been morally bankrupted

  6. “I feel sorry for this Billionaire who had the election stolen from him so I’m going to send him some money” LOL

    1. Those “unstable idiots” already had a mind set, anyone evil enough could just tap into that rich resource and grabbed it‼️

    2. And republiklan voter base still believe it was not T-Rump who took their money … if not T-Rump , then who was it , Ivanka , Jared or Eric ?

    1. Anyone know one persons name this actually happened to that has been proven? Why do you people listen to this non sense. They’ll say whatever they want you to hear and none of you look it up.

  7. trump’s favorite saying is “There’s one born every minute, and I love them, because I’m gonna take all their money!”.

  8. It’s becoming an never ending criminal story. Even today new crimes still to be discovered.

    1. And this is what’s becoming public knowledge. Anyone naive enough to think the biggest still hasn’t been discovered yet? 10 minutes with a Google search about Drumph and his family’s legal history shouldn’t make this latest story surprising at all.

    2. @biz man i sincerely believe it was a Putin attack… a very successful one thanks to his puppet
