Jon Meacham: Trump Is The ‘Most Fundamentally Transactional President We Have Ever Had’ | Deadline
….”end up spending more time with you family at Xmas”…. sound like a plus to me…….. Not working for Trump…… plus plus
This is the usual excuse they give, the “family” excuse to make them appear humane. Nice try.
@Marci Robins They have sh t on each other.
Isn’t sedition a crime?
All 126 RINO’s who signed on to the Texas crap is guilty…and should be treated as such
@Willy Bones you are correct that none did. Senators may not have needed to ride the Trump train and in need if Suoer PAC money as much as House members do. Senators are on a six year cycle and Representatives are on a two year cycle.
@Peabo Lunsford : ty, normally more aware..good weed 👍
@Peabo Lunsford trump lost,those senators are guilty as charged,screw the edits!
let the courts decide
@JazlDazl Attention to detail is important, especially when dealing with people who twist the truth & invent “facts” as they go..
Over 300,000 dead. Millions homeless due to lack of a Covid relief package. BLAME MITCH AND THE SENATE!!!
Yup all bad ..
Honestly I think we should’ve listened to Joe Biden keep the country open for two more months.
How does a relief package save lives? It helps out people financially yes..people like ilhan omars husband who received 600 thousand dollars because we all know they needed it..plus you might want to look at a few democratic gouverners who made a ton of small businesses close up while big box stores stayed open..
@Mike Mason The final version of the first relief package was mainly driven by the republicans. The second one, where the Democrats tried to get *families* to receive enough money to pay rent and food and save the roofs over their heads didn’t suit McConnell’s agenda so he (with the senate republicans) first blocked it entirely for 3 months and then quibbled and niggled and whittled it down to a match-stick while he refused (calling this ‘negotiation’) to pass anything, and finally tried to pass a bill that gave families ZERO but created a situation where you can’t sue a business (like meat-packing) which puts you in danger and provides no PPE. *Then* McConnell had the gall to say that because Pelosi – who’s been working constantly since May for families to get the relief they need – is responsible for the McConnell ‘so-called relief’ bill not passing. He’s a liar. Simple as that. A liar.
I think the left is equally to blame. We are all just running on hate. Its clouded our judgment. The pandemic was handled horribly because we were too concerned with removing Trump.
Firing, firing, firing….his career is to fire people. He creates his own enemies and hatred. This is one of the reasons he lost the election.
He still thinks he’s on The Apprentice.
@Tim Countis Uh Huh…Even Swap Ain’t No Swindle. (Pardon My Vernacular) 😀😀😀
Well said…FINALLY
THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEEPLY EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE REPORTING, JOURNALIST, NICOLLE WALLACE. APPRECIATED.
Yes, there are some reporters that just make you feel comfortable … Nichole, Bryan Tyler Cohen, Jake Tapper, Rachel Maddow…
Transactional?!
I guess that’s a euphemism for being a gangster
I think it means ” do me a favor though”
Trumps base, They better not let them Transactional’s get married..
Exactly! Criminal transactions, that is!
t’rump is also the most incompetent, most under-qualified, and thus most worst president in history.
Looks like he got his wish to be a “historical” president! Sadly, for all the wrong reasons. 😅😂🤣
These are two of the ugliest guys in the world. Inside and out.
Absolutely and Trump disses others looks????
I agree
Don’t they look just like Fred and Barney?
@Randall Marsh ahahahah omg so true
He drained the swamp of alligators and installed monster dinosaurs in it.hes the worst president in history.
@Mike Mason Obama created far more jobs in his terms. Considering what Trump was given his results were rather lackluster economically. Trump is also responsible for the largest rapid growth of national debt that accelerated far faster than it had under Bush or Obama. His tariff war that caused hundreds of thousands of farmers to declare bankruptcy. And all of that was before the pandemic started. Out of all of the developed nations, United States is suffering the worst because of Trumps incompetence.
@kuro drey seems to be more then just a few rights..but I wonder about these wrongs you bring up..such as?
Lmao 🤣 🤣
@Mike Mason Lowering tax mainly for the ultra wealthy is about his only achievement. And how’s that wall going?
@Mike Mason mickey..ur always gonna need those Diaperdon kneepads sadly .
What’s worse is you will probably never know what Trump hasn’t done for you …or how he profited from your sad loyalty…
Diaperdon loves suckers
Edit : eh..your prob nt even American
BARR should be charged WITH interfering in more than one investigation FOR TRUMPS criminal activities
Yes, I wish these people (and all) would be held accountable for their actions. It seems the govt response or lack of to the pandemic should be looked in to as well
After Jan. 20, 2021!
Barr got a pardon the day he took the job.
The Trump administration either indicted, infected, incarcerated, impeached, soon to be vaccinated then evicted! And 74 million Americans voted for this foolishness!
Yes Sir, no more no less…74 million Americans were the stirrup holders of this “Conman” as the jester of the whole Nation…No “Rattenfaenger-syndrome”, more horrible, similar to the Germans after the lost war when they were sent to camps for “Denazification”…take care…
unreal the mindlessness, stupidy of sheepness, and a belief in a g0d…
Maybe 74 million voters just like a strong economy with lower taxes and low unemployment numbers. Maybe they were happy with the new imporved trade deals..and maybe they liked the last 4 years without fighting wars in countries we had no business still being in..call us crazy

@Mike Mason And over 81 million voters grew tired of your racist president’s crap and voted him out.
Hard to hire the best people when you’re a worthless liar.
@Dementia Joe How many times has your account been deleted? I see that you’re back to being a 1-week old troll.
Maybe he is just worthless 😕
Forget the autopsy; let’s go to the funeral of the Republican party.
So, which town are you from Sodom or Gomorrah? You do have a choice.
I Agree with you Lallie Hayes!
@e r maybe just anywhere USA.trump lost ,curl up with a box of kleenex or get off the cross we need the wood 🤔
@e r What town are you from? Green Acres or Mayberry?
Like the whole evil Old Testament, there were a lot of evil towns. Jesus rebuked the old ways of that hateful time and taught all about peace love and understanding. The Pharisees hated him because he was so accepting of love and he always rejected hate at every chance. Why do people who refuse to love as Christ did even want to call themselves “Christian”.. do you guys ever read what he always talked about every single day!!!!!! If you really read and think about what JESUS said you may need to think twice or be born yet again.
Republicans are beginning to “Cover their Tracks” This is Nixon and Watergate all over again.
This is much worse than Watergate. Back then, Republicans had enough decency to ultimately forced Nixon from office. Today’s anti-American GOP is actively participating in Trump’s efforts to destroy democracy by undermining Americans who voted for the opposition.
Nixon is lovable compared to trump
Oh come on, this surpassed anything Nixon could have dreamed of half way through President Trump’s term.. we’ve just all gotten numb to people moving goal posts..
Everybody around the President was smarter than him.
Yes, that’s true, but they also allow his worst impulses. None of those around him have shown a tiny bit of backbone and integrity to push back. They’re all his sycophants even though they’re better educated and more competent than 45. Strange how an inept pretend-potus could hold so much power on huge number of people. It says a lot about GOP.
You are kidding?
Mike Homan you hardly think that trump is smart do you He’s a raving lunatic.
@john harte They are all morons. I will only agree that there are different levels of moronity.
We will see on Jan 6. Several Legislatures already gearing up, some of those court cases are being decided now, Macnines 68% error, W can’t say everybody definitely confined, etc.
Trump is like a mob boss
how on earth did this guy ever get into this office?
it’s mind-blowing
@Lindsay Jennifer He found a new mob. They tend to be uneducated, lacking several teeth and wearing MAGA hats.
lindsay jennifer he is not like a mob boss. He is a mob boss, a con man, serial liar and criminal.
Not enough women and blacks voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016. That’s how Trump got into office.
I like vances analogy to the godfather. putin is michael corleone and trump is freddo
@Barbara Pinkston Good one. When is Micky going to take Freddo out for the boat ride?
Poor Donny wanted to be a dictator but picked the wrong country.
Trump & his base should Go start their own country somewhere else. New Tardland.
You got that right 👍
Not too fast… we don’t know yet. He still has a month to do more illegal stuff and destroy the country more than he has already.
@Carol Rapson Not on American soil or in any of the 50 states, his cronies can take a boat or spaceship somewhere else.
I’ll wait and celebrate on Jan 20th
Pretty nice way to say that Impeached Trump only cares about himself.
Started sooner than I was expecting! Tried to warn you simps!. Do yourself a favor, get some food for the lock in coming you fux! IT HAS BEGUN, well lookee here! ITS COMING YOU MOTHERFUXERS – FBI, Texas Rangers and US Marshals Raid Solarwinds HQ in Austin – Do you CNN tit suckers know what Solarwinds is USED IN? Of course not because you dumb fux listen CIA CNN ! BOOM! WAR IS ON!
@None Given Sure it is buddy, sure it is.
@None Given Don’t get you’re Gun Powder wet from all those tears…
@None Given You sound like a nazi anti-american troll who hates america.
Barr did all he’s dirt and now he’s backing out like he didn’t do anything wrong. And like we’re going to forget
Not Dirt,’ Mudd ‘, The old saying you’re name is Mudd will now be ‘ Barr ‘ the lowest.
no, I believe his peers and others such as the incoming ‘independent’ DOJ if they observe any improprieties…
Trump completely brainwashed in his teens by his EVIL FATHER. ,that’s what he is doing to his cult members
