  1. Let’s look at it in after effects just in case Donald Trump loses the election, just how much damage has the Trump presidency done to the psyche of the American dream. The genie is out of the bottle, people have learned that it is okay to hate each other. Our children will grow up to be bullies. Is there anything else ?

    1. And it’s great to see that you notice all of the Bullying going I’m in America with all of the Democrats our burning the country try down…you know, those people killing black people but yet they’re chanting “black Lives Matter”…..

  2. Here it is in a nutshell.

    If you vote for Joe Biden it will be for a far-left platform. Biden will follow the radical left’s agenda or he won’t get the support (and he is) of…here they are.. Nancy Pelosi, Bernie Sanders, Maxine Waters, Karen Bass (Leader Congressional Black Caucus), llhan Omar, Elizabeth Warren, Val Demings, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Valerie Jarrett,. Rashida Talib, Stacy Abrams, Ayanna Pressley, Sheila Jackson Lee, Pramila Jayapal.

    Question? What do these Mayors & Governors listed below have in common?

    Tom Wolf (Gov PA), Jim Kenney (Mayor Philadelphia), Greg Fisher (Mayor Louisville) Andy Beshear (Governor Kentucky), JB Pritzker (Gov Il), Lori Lightfoot (Mayor Chicago), Gavin Newsom (Gov CA) Kate Brown (Gov OR), Ted Wheeler (Mayor Portland OR), Jay Inslee (Gov WA), Jenny Durkan (Mayor Seattle), Andrew Cuomo (Gov NY), Bill Di Blasio, (Mayor NY) Tim Walz (Gov MN) Jacob Frey (Mayor MN), Lyda Krewson (Mayor St. Louis), Gretchen Whitmer (Gov MI), Mike Duggan (Mayor Detroit) , Keisha Bottoms (Mayor Atlanta GA)

    ALL are Democrats, ALL kept their economy closed as long as they could (many still are) ALL ordered police in their cities to stand down allowing the city to be looted, burned, citizens beat in the streets, killings, monuments destroyed. Oh, ALL support Biden. Can you imagine what they would allow happen under Biden / Harris?

    Listed here on this page are the socialists and far-left radicals who have infiltrated congress, senate, governors, and even mayors.

    Antifa and BLM are the criminals behind this. The founder of BLM is a Marxist The media is trying to conceal this fact (which should tell you everything.) Now you know why the disrespect to the National Anthem, Flag. These are Marxists! Democrat city and state leaders are complicit turning a blind eye. So is the National Basketball Association for openly supporting a Marxist organization. Verizon has given millions to BLM, Al Sharpton, and other activist groups.

    If you vote for Biden, you are voting for a socialist, Kamala Harris for President of the United States. Biden is a shell of his former self and Democrats know this better than anyone. As Biden stated, he will be a “transition” President. Kamala Harris will call the shots.

  3. It’ll be funny to watch illiterate trump tonight. He’s the first president that has had to read from a transcript just to make a statement throughout his presidency. Biden on the other hand cram respond at the drop of a dime without consulting someone else. Bye Bye Trump. Again how many states is he trailing in???? Fact check their comments and statements stop believing what the white supremacist says.

    1. I’ve been saying for months:
      He will no way make it 90 minutes. The meds will wear off.
      GUARANTEE he has not stood for 90 mins straight in forever.
      He will be helped from the stage as soon as the mumbling starts.
      He’ll be hospitalized overnight for observation.
      You heard it here first.

    2. @bambi slow hahaha hilarious! Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I’ll go based off of facts from past and present!
      I pray neither of them suffer any medical illnesses period

  4. I’ve been saying for months:
    He will no way make it 90 minutes. The meds will wear off.
    GUARANTEE he has not stood for 90 mins straight in forever.
    He will be helped from the stage as soon as the mumbling starts.
    He’ll be hospitalized overnight for observation.
    You heard it here first.

  5. Dude. Joe Biden just said “shut up man” to the president of the United States and referred to him as a “clown”. That’s embarrassing. Get Biden off of the stage

  6. How trustworthy is USA Today ? It’s been said that they have shown a real hatred of all things Trump ! Do they only check the facts ? Or embellish those answers that they believe will not help Biden so as to make him SEEM to be a better candidate ?

  7. How can Trump lead the country when he couldn’t even handle the debate? Constantly interrupted and flung school yard insults.
