    1. @real americanTrump was Not talking about China when he said he takes no responsibility. Who is responsible for providing leadership when more than five million people have Covid-19 and more than one hundred seventy five thousand people have died from the virus?

    2. @real american Trump has taken no responsibility for the insipid response he took against the virus. Why is the US one of the worst performing countries in the world from over 200? The carnage he’s presided over has been an unmitigated disaster. Shameful.

    1. @Terry Williams Trump watches the election at Mar a Lago , and has a boat or plane waiting. He will be in contact with and have letters ready for Pence. Pompeo, Barr , Mnuchin and Mc Connell, to tell them he is resigning. One of his staff will call and deliver a letter to Pelosi. About 3 am Trump then calls Biden to concede. Democrats will be so busy celebrating, they won’t hear, ” Oh by the way I resigned, Mike will be handing it all over to you on Jan. 20. ” Trump leaves. Pence is now President, and issues a ” no arrest ” order. Pompeo makes sure he is out of the country, and gets to where he wants. Barr makes sure nothing happens with the Justice Dept. Mnuchin tells his Secret Service detail, as they are Treasury agents, to stand down, and directs IRS personnel, for any issues, which have already been handled, as far as changing names of owners, etc.

    2. @Terry Williams The key here is , if Biden is the clear winner, have everybody and everything set up, speed, and surprising all the Democrats. They will either be in bed, or at at Biden win parties, and not even notice the Donald is gone. And wake up to a few surprises. Trump will have a safe house, millions in secret accounts, and the government where he is doesn’t take US subpoenas or court orders.

    3. David’s Garden “I don’t need your stats” in other words you know they’ll prove you wrong

    1. @BLM IS THE NEW KKK it’s almost like testing alone is only one step in the program that every successful nation used to combat covid19. Trump sucks, and you’re too misinformed to understand why.

    1. This is why the democrats are insane ☝️☝️☝️ ready their delusional comments all spin offs of what the ‘ media ‘ has told them.

    2. @speaknoevo what 4 year coma..I ben enjoying the last 4 year’s watching President Trump expose the Communist Democrat party & their minions..lol

  1. Pence: ” Let’s make America great again, again” Well.. why do you need another 4 years to make America great? Hasn’t Trump made America great the last 4 years? The US economy in the valley, and Covid-19 on the hill, huh!

  2. “The best is yet to come!” Yeah, well, it’s such a low bar. When you’re already in the basement there is now where to go but up.

    1. @thething onthedoorstep do what, “Trump cult”?! I assumed Randy Allen was making a joke. I’m aware of what he was talking about with the chains comment. I also, recall the poor kids just as bright as white kids speech(it was about needing to help schools, giving disadvantaged kids a better chance). In that speech, he did seem to stop on white kids, but was able to follow it & recover more quickly–Joe Biden does have a record of slip ups with offensive remarks, & now that he’s spiraling into senility they’ve gotten worse making him more combative.

    2. Sharon Odom Lol. Yes Trump cult. People who spew his rhetoric as if they were facts. People who feel they can do no wrong, just like him. You know the quotes and what he meant but still used them in a way that could be misinterpreted. The way you describe Biden also fits Trump although he fumbles more to recover if at all. If you consider Biden combative how do you describe Trump?A man who says there will be “retribution” to his own people. Who says no one disobeys his orders, he has the authority to do whatever he wants and tries to silence people on social media? If I have to pick between a cruel wanna be dictator already in the deep throes of dementia or someone who appears awkward and may be suffering the beginings of age related issues I choose the latter.

    3. @thething onthedoorstep how is he cruel, n I dont recall him saying half of that. I do hope there is “retribution”, i hope those criminals are held accountable for their actions. Id love to continue this discussion, but I’ve gotta go pick my son up from school😉

    4. Not surprised you have a selective memory. Yes he said these things. You really don’t know him like you think. You need to do more research before preaching.

    1. @thething onthedoorstep  Who benefits from destroying the economy that Trump established??? Bill Mayer said he’d welcome a recession to get Trump out. Many Dems have publically condoned the riots–majority refuses to condemn the violence just like Maxine Waters trying to get ppl riled up. I havent seen many peaceful protests. I havent been hearing protestors offering solutions, just idiots making crazy demands for free stuff & anarchy. Ive seen clips of ppl who tried to protest, were overrun, & are now angry at liberal/leftists for allowing the violence to continue. Ive been seeing minority owned businesses burned & robbed, people assualted(some murdered) at random, for no reason. We’ve had some liberal prosecutors refusing to charge them, & we’ve got local Dem politicians refusing to let the police do their jobs & refusing to allow Trump to step in. Why dont Dem politicians want the violence to stop? How can you blame Trump?

    2. Sharon Odom I watch news from both sides. I’ve seen peaceful protest, disrupted by both agitators and law enforcement. Legitimate protesters are not advocating violence and have said so. Many dems condoned riots? Who?Yes the violence should be stopped. I have no issue with violaters being arrested. I’ve seen law enforcement attack peaceful protesters. I’m sure you saw law enforcement knock down two older men? Trump wants to send in troops which cities believe would escalate violence. Trump is not a military man, far from it. Even the military disagrees with him. Trump is power driven and power hungry and he doesn’t try to hide it. But hey you just keep the faith ☺️

  3. Can’t wait to see how they drag that wannabe dictator out the w.h!✊✌
    The whole world will laugh so hard it will be the biggest party ever!😄👌👍🍾🥂🎆

  4. “We can never have a situation where things are going on as they are today” This is the first time I agree with Trump. Vote him out of the office.

    1. @Christer Ahlner Please explain it to me. What am I not understanding? Why would restoring law enforcement, & penalizing criminals make things worse? What class problem makes it okay to break the law?

    2. @Christer Ahlner Could you please give me a straight answer, a direct answer to a direct question? What part of criminology should I be looking at? Is there anything suggesting that violence will solve problems? Is there anything that would indicate burning, &/or robbing your local small businesses is in any way a righteous or justifiable means of protest? Has anyone affiliated with these groups given any rational demands/solutions? Have these riots improved anything in any way?

    3. @Christer Ahlner I’m sorry, but Im finding it really hard to understand what point you’re trying to make. Im not trying to be argumentative, I just really like hearing different views. You’re sentences seem fragmented?!

  5. The RNC should be charged for the use of the “People’s House” for the last 4 days. He’s not held accountable, as his niece Mary Trump reported, and apparently into old age, still getting passes to do whatever he wants as a tin-pot dictator.

  6. No… Twump never takes responsibility. He blames the governors and mayors. He doesn’t do anything constructive. He just blames others

    1. Read the Constitution passages about States Rights. Trump offered help, the Dem Mayors refused it, and THAT’S the LAW. So blame the Dem Mayors.

    2. @White Candle, so trump wouldn’t be able to fix any of it with an additional 4 years, correct?

  7. Trump is responsible for everything happening today!!!
    This is trumps administration!
    Trump cant and hasnt fixed anything???
    TRUMP CAUSED THIS!

    1. Luisa you are being brainwashed by these fake news who answer to the Globalist.
      The Democrats and the Fake News are horrible reprobates that are dividing our Great Country.
      You’re brainwashing has caused you to have TDS.

      Did you know Mika’s father was a communist in Poland?

      Did you know about Morning Joe? some people think he may have killed his intern back in 1991?

      Sit back and let President Trump do his job, you’ll be very Happy.

    2. Like a typical sociopath who suffers from malignant narsisisim, he will deny everything. He will blame a guy who isn’t even the president yet for all the 💩 he has brought down on Americans.

    3. When he declared a national emergency and sat back and did not follow the law on what you do in a national emergency he took fault for everything that happened and is still happening. You cannot say it is a national emergency and then tell the States to fend for themselves; that is not what a national emergency program does. It makes sure that everything is taken care of and everyone has what they need until the emergency is over. For instance, the fires in California have been declared a state and national emergency; therefore, funds will be sent to assist California in this emergency or are supposed to be sent. However, Trump may not follow protocol and try to blackmail Newsom by saying you can get this money if you do this for me. I think the latter is probably will be the scenario. After all we have a crook in the Oval.

    4. @M. D. Martin
      House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was out in San Francisco’s Chinatown in late February encouraging people to go out in public and spend money at local businesses despite concerns regarding the spread of the Coronavirus.

      “It’s exciting to be here, especially at this time, to be able to be unified with our community,” Pelosi said on Feb. 24. “We want to be vigilant about what is out there in other places. We want to be careful about how we deal with it, but we do want to say to people ‘Come to Chinatown, here we are — we’re, again, careful, safe — and come join us.’”

      🙄

    5. @M. D. Martin Trump has been consistently offering to send in reinforcements, while the leftist have forced their cops stand down, refused the aid, & allowed criminals to take over(some states keep releasing more violent, repeat offenders to terrorize the decent law abiding citizens in their districts?! They dont want help, they want millions/billions that is frequently “misplaced/lost” by the local politicians. Of course, Trump is refusing to send them more millions of our tax dollars to throw away. They’re not just allowing things to escalate, they’re encouraging it–they are watching the homicides dramatically increase & refusing to take control. My opinion, they want Trump to step in, so that they can call him a dictator & claim he’s trying to steal the election–they’re willing to watch their cities burn. Some Dems have publicly admitted that they’ll do anything to get Trump out–why? Since b4 he was elected they’ve been trying to remove him, why(cuz he’s not a corrupt puppet they can use).

  8. The message from RNC is the following “it is the other guys fault, we approve of racism but do not call me a racist, we will continue to keep power and commit crimes, and the top 1% will continue to prosper and the rest of you…..uhhh not so much, forget your healthcare, jobs, infrastructure, environment, civility, love for your fellow, working together to make America the country a great place for all people. No we are good, but you not so much.

    1. What so many people forget is that the Nazi’s invaded Germany first, with the full support of the rich aristocracy, based upon the promise that Hitler wouldn’t take their money…

    2. Then the slack jawed yokels who were looking for relevance in their lives, joined in to get a sliver of the power the facists were bringing in…

  9. “Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth.”
    — Minister of Propaganda of Nazi Germany.

    1. Sharon Odom sure they do.
      It’s odd the orange clown wants to rile his supporters to the point they take the law into their own hands.
      He won’t be happy until we have civil war.
      He’s a real peach.

    2. @gibbeys Pretty sure you’ve got that completely backwards.Liberal/leftists are the ones calling the murders n looting “peaceful protests”. Trump hasn’t encouraged his base to go out & trash government buildings, attack random civilians, as well as, police & their families–that’s what Dem politicians have been pushing. We’ve got liberal prosecutors refusing to charge these criminals. The fact that Democratic politicians are forcing police to stand down & refusing federal aid, while the people in their districts are being terrorized & homicides are sky rocketing should be enough to tell you that something is wrong with the Democratic party.

    3. Sharon Odom The cities understand Trump’s agenda better than you. You think Trump is not a racist? When he tells women of color to go back to their”shithole” countries? Isn’t that what people have been saying to Blacks for years? To call Biden a “pervert” considering Trump’s record is laughable. The “rock star” who can grab women? Who admittedly would like to date his own daughter? Who has mistresses and prostitutes? Who on his reality show said he it would be nice to see one of the contestants on her knees. Research your hero a little more.

  10. Saying “the best is yet to come” when he’s put our country in total chaos with his inaction, name calling and thirst for violence and power is terrifying. His interpretation of “best” is incomprehensible.

    1. @thething onthedoorstep some Christian faiths believe in having the obligation to go to church–so lets gather in protest cuz it’s our Constitutional right, but you’re saying freedom to practice our religion isnt?!

    2. @thething onthedoorstep Trump has helped America. You dont have to like him. Bill Clinton was a likeable president, but that doesnt mean he was fit to hold the office. So, you’ve said that you dont like the Democratic party, but you hate Trump so much you’d rather put them back in control? That’s ridiculous, they’re talking about taking our rights away, & implementing socialist policies. They’re redefining everything, in America you have equal opportunity, that does not mean you have a right to equal housing, cars, clothes, etc(you have to work for it). They’re pandering, spouting out radical ideals, but do you think they’d do anything to help Americans? Biden hasnt accomplished a thing, most of them are just getting rich & you’d support that over prison reform, border security, free speech, 2nd amendment, having a job & keeping what you earn–Id add opportunity zones, but I think these rioters have pretty much destroyed that notion.

    3. Sharon Odom UV light is used externally, he was asking about internally. The same with bleach. But you’re right he didn’t suggest drinking he suggested injection.Yes he phrases things in the form of a question so as to protect himself from accountability. Many churchs held service online or outdoors. I don’t believe the need to be in another’s physical presence should outweigh the health of an entire nation. I don’t think I said anything ambiguous so I don’t know why you would need to guess about any context.
