  1. When the total size and scope of Trump’s criminality is finally revealed, he will go down in history as the biggest fraud and con-man the world has ever known. Even Bernie Madoff will have to gasp in disgust.

  2. t’rump: “I, Donald J t’rump hereby announce I’m running for president in 2024!”
    Cell mate: “Cool story. Give me your lunch.”
    t’rump: “Yes sir.”
    😅😂🤣

    1. @Diane Hooper I have a huge fallout with my brother because of Trump…..the guy is a category 5 moron….he is just man enough to say things many GOP politicians think but couldn’t say…thats all….I knew it from the beginning…..didn’t you hear what Lindsey Graham said yesterday? Jesus‼️ painful to listen to him talk, but wait for another month…and he will sing different tone😂…coming months will be really really great‼️….for America I mean

    2. @Biden Virus hahahaha u friggin LOSER !!! CRY U BIG BABY !!! TRUMP IS DONE U CLOWN,NOW GET A GOOD PSYCHIATRIST AND FIGURE out WHAT’S WRONG WITH U!!! 🖕

  3. Trumps tax returns were the longest audited ever,now he’s a citizen and can’t hide behind being ” president “

    1. @Wonder Wonderful This is a point of view I’ve been adding to YT videos for a while with one difference – you put it more eloquently than I do.

    2. I wonder if he regrets running and becoming president. His taxes were being quietly audited before, however afterwards, it became a big deal and everybody gets to see what he’s hiding.

    3. You all do realize that President Trump was a billionaire before he became President. He never took the pay for being the president. Yet all these life long politicians go from making a 175,000.00 to becoming millionaires??? Now that’s a little more suspicious to me

    4. @Tabitha bishop He didn’t take the pay, but he cost the US taxpayers more in one year than any 2 term president cost us, while paying them their full salaries.

    5. @Shasha0709 really cause I believe Biden did his first day in office when he stopped American from being energy independent and wiping out 11,000 plus jobs. Then the borders who going to pay for them??? Taxes payers that’s who. President Trump had it so if they came to our country they had family support them not taxes payers!!! So 35 in office that just the start. Hmmmm you do the math

  4. A major clean up of the toxic and hazardous waste is needed in aisle 45! Someone get mango Mussolini a jumpsuit.

    1. @Randy Couch Miss informed people voted for Trump and mostly narcissistic psychopaths also voted for Trump, it is well documented that he is a madman and he has a corrupt following with many corrupt politicians. So, I have to beg to differ with you. NO REAL NORMAL PEOPLE VOTED FOR TRUMP.

    2. @Randy Couch I’m real & southern and cancelled my voters registration when the corrupt RNC ran this conman grifter. CONald..ny calls him. Re registered as a Democrat just to vote him out! He’s a toxic waste dump and high satanic priest who’s fooled a lot of foolish ppl willing to Give up freedom of choice to a malevolent dictator. That’s why you were targeted. Dumb.

    1. Yes, the $20k self-portrait he paid for with money from his “charitable” Trump Foundation (before it was shut down as a fraudulent organization).

    1. @Catherine Lewis But Traitor Trump will be the standard that all men will be held to! Let the treasonous swine off what is obvious to those not conned or corrupt and nobody will be found guilty and sentenced!

    2. @Peter w Pyle Language! YT has kicked people out permanently for less. If you want to keep your channel and have access to YT, stay civil!

    1. @Gabriel Chambers Sweetheart I was born here and FYI I’m as American as you. The only thing that sets us apart is that you voted for a Dictator. Maybe you should move to Russia and keep Trumps buddy company. Besides who the F&^%co are you anyhow.

    1. @Portupic you get out and biden will resign or will be impeached in 2023…explain how he got to be a millionaire…oops where did hunter disappear to now? fuckhead

    2. Just like the Mexican drug lord got life in prison trump should too we average Americans go jail for way less then what trump has done

  5. what I do not understand is, that this fraud has never ever been discovered earlier. I guess the rich do have another justice system…..

    1. If he’d never won the presidency, he’d live out his entire rotten life free of consequences for his illegality. Since he became POTUS, there is at least a small chance he may face justice….but it’s only very small

    2. Also, problem with Trump is that he is not contrite. He laughs it off and thinks it is nothing. That’s who they go after.

    3. The reason is simple – going after the rich is EXTREMELY expensive, with a much higher than normal chance of losing, and a high risk of consequences to prosecutors.

  6. I wonder if NY, will be going after the Lawyers and accountants for the “Loopholes” that kept his FRAUD going all these years?!

  7. Little wonder Trump made $ 1.6 bn in four years. The reason why he has to fight teeth and nail to go back to white house.

    1. Jasper Etale: DID Trump make $1.6 billion in four years? My impression of Trump is that for a long time now he has consistently LOST money in his real-estate operations, and will soon start missing payments to DeutscheBank, who will foreclose on the fillings in his teeth. That’s why he is running for President and will run for President forever (and lose forever, because if he ever wins he can’t run for a third term, would have to stop campaigning immediately, and knows he doesn’t have the numbers across all of the States to get the Constitution changed to give him a 3rd term). Trump’s income for the rest of his life is raising campaign-contributions and stealing them from his campaign. That’s his only path to solvency. Book-sales and speaking-fees won’t be enough money to bail him out.

      The way to steal from your own campaign-fund is you pay a consultant $10 million and he gives you back $9 million in untraceable cash. And since Trump owns hotels, his campaign-workers, when they have to travel, will stay in Trump-owned hotels. The campaign will be charged $10,000 per night for those room-rentals when on any other night that room will go to any other person for $1,000. Trump perfected these methods with his “non-profit” foundation in New York State before he was President and his children learned the methods with the Inauguration-event charity.

      The grift that Trump could make from being President a 2nd time, from charging foreign governments the moon to put their people and galas in his D.C. hotel (which the foreign government would know full well is actually a bribe to the President) would only last four years, but, you never know. There’s other gains he could leverage from four more years. BUT, some of that stuff isn’t going to show up on a tax-return.

    1. Yes … the irs is the most powerful institution this country has. 🙂 … but unfortunately it seems it didnt care so far about what king donald was doing… maybe NYS will get to him this time. He cannot be inciting an overturn of an election and not have committed all sorts of frauds

  8. Those communications would be interesting and likely very damaging to the orange Florida guy who doesn’t know when or how to keep his gob shut.

  9. CONald will never see a minute jail because our justice system is based on “How much justice can you afford?”
