  1. The only honorable thing that he can do now is resign – The only problem is that he has not a shred of honor.

    1. Nope.. We elected him. Just like the rioters in these shitholes elected democrats for forty years.

    2. @Larry Garland False. The Electoral college loophole elected him. More people voted for Hilary. By a lot

    3. @Larry Garland ‘rioters in these shitholes’. Are you referring to the communities these black Americans are protesting in as shitholes? Wow… realize you’re part of the problem and contribute to the reason these people are protesting. The only shithole I see here is you.

  2. No surprises there 🤷🏾‍♂️ Cadet and Chief Bone Spurs knows exactly what he’s up to.
    Divide and Conquer 💯

    1. @kc Cox YOUR COMMENT IS BS!!! PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS CLASS,, AND HE TRIED TO BE THE PRESIDENT FOR THE WHOLE COUNTRY!! BUT MITCH AND THE REPUBLICANS FOUGHT EVERYTHING HE TRIED TO DO!!! THEY OBSTRUCTED!!!

    2. @INDIAN OCEAN … I think he knows he won’t win Now, so he’s moved up his time schedule!

    3. Yeah he wants to install a dictatorship in America… so much easier to do if we’re all fighting

    4. Trump is going to win in November, so get ready for 4 more years. Trump knows if he takes a hardline against the protests he gets his base and suburban moderates. Biden has to choose between the black/youth vote and moderates, and Hillary already proved you can’t have both.

    5. trump only keying up tensions for his upcoming election loss, and his subsequent coup attempt. Be ready for it – that’s how Putin came into power.

    1. I think the quote you are looking for is, “That man has more talent in his big toe than you have in your whole body”.

    2. Right on, because every time he opens his mouth, he sticks his foot in it. They should of picked Bernie. At least Biden isn’t fanning a race war with venomous tweets. For a little levity in the chaos check out Putin’s Toy [ click the J to play].It’s an old school punk rock anti Trump song, featuring top Winnipeg musicians. I wrote it and do the lead vocals. I hope you find it to be a humorous diversion to break up your day. Feel free to leave a comment Paou Bunyon, I value your opinion.

    1. Putin’s buddies who have got millions invested in Trump’s Golf Courses, Wineries, Luxury Hotels & Apartment Buildings are getting very worried that their money is not safe & have asked him to have a word in 45’s ear and remind him that US law don’t apply to them

    2. Check out Putins Toy, click the J to play. It’s an old school punk rock anti Trump song featuring to Winnipeg musicians. I wrote it and do the lead vocals. It echos your comment, so I know you’ll see the humour in it. Feel free to leave a comment. I value your opinion.

    1. Old Handsome Joe went down to sign up but they turned him away because of asthma, a real thing. He then went on to become the youngest UNited States Senator in history at the age of 29 and voted to end the war

    2. @McK That perception is yours and yours alone. We do not share such trivial subjective concerns.

    3. @Lars Jones He was als caught telling numerous whoppers throughout his career…..and has been a gaffe machine since day one. Also accused of plagiarism . He now has Alzheimers and is running for President. That is ludicrous.

    4. R L T You said “if you love your country…you would of enlisted.” So by that logic, Trump doesn’t love his country. Not only did he not enlist, he blatantly dodged a draft while other less privileged people could not. He’s not a man of the people. He knows nothing about what it is to be a regular American. Unconditionally, and this goes for both political parties, supporting a leader is DANGEROUS. Holding leaders accountable for things they say and do is the most American thing you can possibly do.

  3. Trump is a Failed President

    He is doing Maximum damage
    to US before he Leaves Office 🤷🏻‍♀️

    1. @My Thoughts&Words !! exactly who are you? I happen to teach Math know your facts before you call someone uneducated.

  4. So what the F. is new! That’s all he has done since he has been in office! In my 70 years I have never ever seen my country divided like it is! !

    1. It’s been shown that many looters were white nationalists trying to make the protesters look bad.

    1. @sm70911 How do you do it..???? WOW..!!!! 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳 You KNOW everything…. WOW…. you are the Messiah….

    2. All of these cities are under total Democratic control, and have been for decades. The economy was doing well before this virus fiasco. Democrats shut down their states and threw countless people onto unemployment.

  5. So where was he with all this tough talk 2 weeks ago when these gun carrying white protestors who stormed the capitals to demand and threaten people to reopen the state. Trump is Weak

    1. Sandro77 They are ” His People”! Remember he said that gun stores should remain open as essential.

    2. Those were Trumps MAGA henchmen, doing his dirty work, threatening Governors with violence. Trumps like a mob boss, who tweets his MAGA army into action. He needs a distraction for dropping the ball on covid, and tweeting America into racial chaos. suits his purpose. For a little levity amid the chaos check out Putin’s Toy[ click the J to play]. It’s an old school punk rock anti Trump song, featuring top Winnipeg musicians. I wrote it and do the lead vocals. Feel free to leave a comment Sandro 77, I value your opinion.

  6. Is captain bone spurs still hiding in his bunker, I’m amazed he can get internet connection for Twitter

  7. Events of today make Hilary seem like a Prophet in 2016. She warned US! This man is DANGEROUS!!!

    1. LOL No one needed Hillary to tell us Agolf Twittler would be a disaster. Most knew it a long time ago.

    2. That’s why you shouldn’t vote a businessman in office.
      If things get this bad, his response is to sell the business and start over again. Not really a viable option for a country.

  8. won’t wear a mask to protect others … hides out in a bunker to save himself … while hurling insults at the governors on the front lines …

    1. I am British( and God knows we have our own problems!) BUT i feel sorry for the ordinary American people, the majority who just want to live, have a house, a job, a life. Trump is ( as far as i can see) destroying the U.S Constitution and taking America( and the rest of the world) to the brink of disaster. I cannot see a way forward with that man in the whitehouse. As for his declaration of martial law…..any government that tells its army to deal with its own people…..well isnt that what we in the west accuse China and Russia of doing? Bad bad times ahead. Sorry America….i wish luck to the ordinary,normal people there.

    2. He’s using the Floyd murder to distract from his dismal dropping the ball on covid. For a little levity, check out Putin’s Toy. Click the J to play.

  9. In a bunker, screaming at the world, blaming everyone, calling for blood.

    That sounds oddly familiar.

    1. @Fred Thompson I think well, I hope, he was joking. Otherwise, we can send drumpf to his country to enjoy.

    2. @Woland Apologies. I didn’t mean that at all. It’s more like amused with what your community have chosen as supreme leader.

    3. @Ken Apiro Apologies accepted. Now, admit you got scared when I suggested to send trump to your country. Just a little.

  10. “Instead Of Leadership, Trump Has ‘Only Fanned The Flames Of Hate’ ” placing the blame of violence of the protests on #ImPOTUS45’s rhetoric. May all reading this choose to vote on Nov 3rd for real change instead of more “Mourning in America.”
