    1. @Bryce Brogan Impeachment is not a judicial action and imparts no jeopardy. It specifically states that he can be charged with the same offenses when he leave office. Trump wasn’t acquitted in the Senate trial. All they find is should he or shouldn’t he be removed from office based on the letters of impeachment. They choose not to remove him from office that is all that can be drawn from the Senate trial.

    1. @Yous Mellgood I just heard! Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada going down! Lawsuits are coming with affidavits of fraud!!

    1. The amount of butt hurt from trumpers is unbelievable. They’d agree the earth is flat if he tweeted it. We should all be buying stocks in Preparation H.

    2. @Yous MellgoodBORIS – ……Yous Tink…..Thank You ….Missed your Trolling and Insanity with the 50000 Nonsense posts you and your Computer BOTS have posted over the last week alone!

      Yes you are right – Trump, friend of your Boss “””Poop-Tin””” will get 100 Consecutive 4 YR Prison Sentences in Maximum Security , Trump 2020 – 3020 for PRISON….ON Mars~ !!!!

      GOD BLESS THE USA AND THE WORLD WITH PEACE, PROSPERITY, NO COVID, NO FRAUD, NO VIOLENCE, NO RACIAL UNREST, NO INJUSTICE –

      Peace and Love to ALL The Citizens of the World, Always!

    3. Good people,one great lesson that come from all this drama with Trump ..pls let us learn from it, let us grow from it, we humans can always be better.
      This lesson as already been here for sometime, but we all were all too busy living our lives to spiritually see and hear it!
      Now our collective plight with covid, we have quitened and globally it’s time to look at the ‘Mind of man.’
      Biblical teaching showed us Narcissistic personality disorder..which exists to the smallest degree in households and communities throughout this world, it’s a pandemic long before any pandemic.. corrupting and leaving trails of destruction and only ruin in its path, some have committed suicide and ended up in mental institutions because of it.
      Its time we see how destructive it really is, when it can corrupt not only families on small scales but also Great nations of people, ‘World leaders’..who we look to for support to change horrible situations for the betterment of humanity, However some are not worthy due to their incessive need for self gratification.
      Some have been drunk with power for far too long, its somehow self love and self preservation gone very wrong! Wrong when its at the sacrifice of others.
      The Time for change starts with each and everyone of us, by looking at ourselves closer, how much of this Trump character do you see within yourself or someone close to you or someone within your social circle?
      We need to tighten our grip on this spiritual demonic characteristics which creates a spiritual war before physical wars.
      This being narcissistic, sociopathic personalities disorders. ( Search Sam Vaknin)
      These spirits feed on the innocently non- suspecting persons..the innocently ignorant or gulbly trusting persons. It feeds on your weaknesses and our need for something good.. this is how we end up looking at false hopes! Trusting and thus making wrong choices.
      These negative spiritual characteristics within people need energy from others to project themselves throughout life… energy being positive or negative, they can use both very successfully to play a tormenting destructive game with lives of others and without any consciousness or remorseful emotions,they move on to the next victim.
      We can destroy this pandemic like how we were told to rid ourselves of covid, by isolating the pandemic..starve it…..starve it of energy…don’t allow it access into our hearts, minds or our lives.
      Start by ending it’s life energy..Just STOP giving people like Trump any coverage be it positive or negative coverage.
      Take them out of play..this characters time doesn’t stand a chance when you remove all its engery it so reliant on….it ceases to exist and will return to the shadows.
      An excellent and fimiliar quote which relates to narcissim : never wrestle with a pig, because you’ll get dirty and the pig loves it.
      We, …..humanity without colour of skin or religious beliefs will prevail victorious and live in harmony, because the world is big and beautiful enough for us to do so.
      Truly turn your face once again to God 🙏..we don’t require much here for the short time we exist here! …it doesn’t take alot just to be pleasant & peaceful 🙏🙏🙏🙏

  1. Trump’s funding for his ‘legal defence’ and in the fine print it says a significant proportion of the money donated will be used to settle campaign debt. Trump’s a shameless grifter right up until the end.

    1. @Frank Volz even though I voted for him you have a point, I think he would make more getting out of office , but he seems to be a risky bet now ! He is going to take his lumps for sure

    2. I donated Trump campaign money. Go ahead and use it for legal fees because Trump’s lawsuit in PA shows 450,000 illegal Democratic ballots. SCOTUS is going to throw them out. Trump wins PA and the election…lololololololol

    3. Trump’s campaign still owes almost $2 million to cities for police protection. Blue lives matter, but not their paychecks?

  2. You would think that he’d be embarrassed to try to delay something that’s legal and obvious by the numbers… WoW!

    1. it would be nice to think he might, but we wouldn’t be at this stage if he were capable of being embarrassed – after all, he’s perfect, the best, and for sure he has no peers

  3. Getting fired at this stage doesn’t really matter in this administration. Just sign the damned letter and leave.

    1. @L S Why? You think biden won and its not official! Thats the stupidity of the left! I need schooled? Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Grow a brain!

    2. @Tim Jones Why did you wait until October 29, 2020, to join the YouTube Comments? That looks rather suspicious as if you may be trolling for controversy or arguments. Your page is blank. You have no content or channels of interest or affiliation. Basic mathematics would be a good start for you. Statistics are out of your reach. There are no other arguments as to who has won this election except frivolous lawsuits filed by the right and an outgoing POTUS who can’t do basic mathematics either.

  4. Donald is in DENIAL, just like w Covid. His bubble will burst and so will the market 😳💀👾💀👾💀👽

    1. @Vivian Jamies get over it !! You have been brainwashed, check yourself into the nearest medical facility. They can help you

    2. @Yous Mellgood lol that’s about as funny as your picture. I think not. Donald is a loser, a BIG LOSER. Too bad. He should man-up but, of coarse he can’t bcuz he’s a child, poo tins boy to be exact.

    1. @Heather Harley look a moron who can’t argue. Maybe you should put more emojis on the screen to show us how smart you are.

    2. @wordsculpt Fred trumps net worth was just under a billion at its highest and he only ran middle class apt buildings. But keep arguing with your feelings. I know it’s all you have you poor thing.

    1. @Yous Mellgood If so then the Guiliani moment is the perfect description of another 4 years of the American autocrat “Il Duce”

    1. @Michelle Carter What did I say that’s wrong? For too long he’s flapped his Fat blabber mouth and all the Media did was call him “President”.Its time to stop the PC Talk.

    2. @Yous Mellgood WHAT!, you’ve got the same delusional disease that trumpty dumpty has. The bloke and you are very sore losers. maybe it’s you’re mutual diaper rash playing up?

    1. @Vivian Stimpson theres 2800 affidavits in PA. There will be a recount and verification. 1 state a day. By friday, you’ll be crying.
      “Wheres the evidence?” They present evidence to courts, not to the media

    2. @rastaewabeach so sounds like their claims aren’t solid but they want a recount to look for fraud just in case 🤔🤔🤔🤔… it don’t work like that.

    1. @Mr. H And he is going to need all that money to cover all the legal expenses that he is going to face for cheating and stealing Tax money.. BTW. Between my wife and I we paid almost 15 times more tax than Trump $750, and that does not count our properties annually tax, That’s sick, but it’s the reality of our country now.

    2. “EXECUTIVE TIME” 👑 We get a PRESIDENT BIDEN who will ACTUALLY WORK for the American people in Jan 2021! 🇺🇸😎👍

    3. @Yous Mellgood What is wrong with all of you, are you blind or what? All vote counts have been in front of the cameras and any person in the world can see it live online
      I do not understand why people like you do not understand that when a correct politician tells lies on TV continuously in one way or another stupid people will believe it.. Just remember what Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller said around 1974 when they wanted to destroy Latin American countries through propaganda. He said. “By having this fake war on terror you can never win it.. So you can always keep taking people’s liberties away.. And the media can convince everybody that it’s real.” This is very well documented in history after he died.
      You ignorant uneducated.

    4. Expect more frequent visits to his Golf courses as a way of drumming up business for his struggling Organization in defiance of the Emoluments Act. He has only 70 days or so to do it before his final Good Bye .

  5. Imagine booking a press conference at the parking lot of FOUR SEASONS LANDSCAPING.
    😂🤣😂
    BOZO’S!

    1. now the billionaire is begging for money to help find his legal battles and pay of his campaign debt. Let that sink in! He is a CON in every meaning of the word, con artist, convict ( soon to be… )

    1. @Pam M Did you forget about how he has tried to pretend the First Amendment doesn’t exist? He has threatened the free press and tear gassed protesters.

    2. Yes Trump has to hold true to his dictatorship not to America like it should be. Hes got his self looking so bad by all these things he does there will be many people from this country and other countries that won’t deal him at at all. If I were in a movie maker Trump isn’t the movie or reality show people are going to watch it wouldnt be a money marker. Trump’s burned a lot bridges and people want to move on under President Biden now!!!

    3. @TJ Pav evidently you didn’t study your history or you would know the freedom Trump offers is an illusion. Your lucky he got out voted so we don’t have to see America in another 4 yrs under Trump!!! We must never except racism again or it would be the begining of the end of our country and our values and may this election shine on all other countries as to how important it is to move forward and to never allow racism because it will lead to the persecution of a race and we are all equal append have the right to freedom.

    1. #USELECTION2020🇺🇸According to a new study of U.S. Census data, America has more registered voters than actual live voters, Investors reported. That’s enough over-registered voters to populate a ghost-state about the size of Connecticut,” Judicial Watch attorney Robert Popper said. Judicial Watch reports that LA County employees “informed us that the total number of registered voters now stands at a number that is a whopping 144 percent of the total number of resident citizens of voting age.” #cnn #foxnews #msnbc #cbnbc #bloomberg #voterfraud. Something to think about. The book of Revelation is in effect. #covid19 #palehorseoffamineridesnext #jesusislordofallsouls Isa. 9:6 Emmanuel. Christmas ring any church bells? John chapter 3. #kaliyuga turning over epoch to the epoch or Age of Aquarius. “When they say peace and safety sudden destruction shall come upon them”. See former Canadian defense minister Paul Hellyer for undeniable evidence of extraterrestrials (SEE #MRMBB333 for starships) and the NOT MYTHICAL CABAL OF THE LUCIFERIAN ILLIMINATI. WORKING TOWARDS A ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT. SEE ROSA KIORE FOR EXPERT PRIMARY SOURCE FURTHER SUPPORTING THROUGH UN AGENDA21! THEN SEE STOP THE CRIME DOT NET FOR IMMEDIATE IMPLIMENTATIONS IN U.S.

    2. @Dr J Ambassador of Jesus Christ oh lordy, sounds like you guys are going to bawl a river for a good while. Best you just move on with your lives.

  6. When you are a “compulsive lier”, as Trump and his buddies are,
    they do not believe in any oath they have taken.
    They are only self-serving!

    1. CONTACT DR.Kelly, FOR YOUR SOLUTION VIA Email: drd3912@gmail.com)

         Dear friends online, my name is Mary N, am from U.S.A, I have to give this miraculous testimony, which is still unbelievable to me till now. I had a problem with my husband 2years ago, which lead to our break up. When he broke up with me, i was not my self again, I felt so empty inside me, my love and financial situation became worst, until a close friend of mine (Angela) told me about a spell caster who helped her in the same problem too his name is DR. Kelly, so i emailed him at drd3912@gmail.com)the spell caster and i told him my problem and i did what he asked me to, to cut the long story short. Before i knew what was happening my husband gave me a call and told me that he was coming back to me in just 2days and i was so happy to have him back. We have two kids together and we are happy with ourselves

    1. @Hvalpikk:
      Trump: “If I win, it’s legal, even if I’m cheating.”
      Trump: “If you win, you’re cheating, even if it’s legal.”

    1. Yep you nailed it. Another 4 years of Trump and no doubt we would be living under a dictatorship. Makes me feel good to know that there are more good people out there vs bad ones, based on the turnout of voters.

    1. Obama and biden killed 3 times more than bush did with drones. Biden and Clinton built the prison industrial complex we have today. Sounds like a caring guy.

    2. @Yous Mellgood I heard they are finding fraud on both sides. Lot of trump voters voted by mail, absentee and also voted in person!

    3. @The Truth is Out Now Instead of slamming Biden who has yet to take the office of POTUS, ask yourself what Trump has done TO the American people.

    4. @The Truth is Out Now – the first thing he did was make a speech that actually made sense and wasn’t all about himself unlike that orange buffoon that had trouble stringing two words together when he was away from the teleprompter.

  7. Of course he’s interfering with the orderly transition. He only thinks of himself.he่s only a big fat juvenile baby.

    1. @Yous Mellgood 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

      Keep on crying whiny baby sore loser. It’s over.

    2. @C P you mean like when the Trump tried to bribe Crimean president and get false information on Biden. and who does he owe 400 million dollars 2 did you think about that dingbat.

    3. @Yous Mellgood another delusional Trump supporter comment there’s nothing you do but 2 eat the sour grapes and Crow like so many others have to get real.
