Schmidt: Trump's Betrayal To U.S. Troops Is Impossible To Overstate | The Last Word | MSNBC
Okay…so trump can cozy up to the russians, who are actively killing American troops and no republicans speak out? This country is in a coma!!!!!!
@Reinhard yes top secret co gress meetings yesterday showing proof this is true
@Reinhard Why are you so hellbent on living in denial? Thats a symptom of a serious brainwashing disease . I bet you haven’t even read the article. All kinds of evidence is RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE if you bothered to actually do your homework before leaping to denial. Also guess what. The sky is blue.
@Seablack66 What do you want to do with the rest of your life until you die? How do want to spent it?
Could it be that Democrat leaders want Trump out of the White House to hide their own criminal activity? http://www.snopes.com Yes, most definitely.

Anything Trump does is by god to his supporters. They love Donald J Trump, he does nothing wrong. This does not matter to his cult.
Trump trust dictators like Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong un and Xi Jinping, Trump doesn’t trust the u.s intelligence committee agencies.
Trump is a traitor
It’s Xi Jingpin..
There’s really no other word for it.

@Alex. C
Right
@Oba*** Man oh good u corrected it. Good for u.
Anyone supporting the traitor in the WH is also a traitor.
@Youdontneedto Seemyidentification Nothing but an emotional rant filled with illogical and unsupported information..
@Jeff Woods As has your racism
@88 what !? Between the comment and someone liking it, I’m speechless..Completely asinine comment..
Jeff Woods I do think you are not normal or you are blind get help please 🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱
@Misireta Gashi what is your definition of normal ?
The President takes the same oath as our armed forces, to not abide by his sworn oath is nothing short of treasonous!
Still crocodile tears , Americans whining for same treatment they inflict up on to innocent civilians in other countries .
How about start caring about those children USA bomb in Yemen … after USA has stopped that , then lets talk about this issue .
@tinaxtony I take it you’re British since you say “in the UK”. People ARE on the streets in this country–but I’m afraid there’s a flaw in our constitution. It is too hard to remove a president. It’s functioned well enough for the last 200+ years, but we do not live in normal times. We are dealing with a cult of personality, around a head of state who has no respect for the rule of law and democratic norms, and his followers live an alternative reality bubble that seems impervious to verifiable facts. We are stuck with Trump until the November election.
PERIOD. 🇺🇸
@ Madolina Degocelli what are your thoughts on the PROVEN ISSUE AT HAND involving TRUMP and Russian bounties being placed on soldiers? Your attempt at deflection and redirection is admirable, but this tactic has been well overused during this administration…
mark scott Marching on the WH not a good idea, the WH has a meaning more than the person inside and is itself an institution and is shameful to desecrate that place because it represents every American citizen. Mass sit downs on main streets in silence gets more attention and is peaceful. However I’m not encouraging you to do that I was only remarking that Boris would be swinging by his trossachs if he acted like that. The media would make his position untenable
Deplorable’s just want to own the libs. The country is burning and Bunker Boy is worried about his ratings.
@gladiatrx3 EXCEPT SOME STUPID QUINCY PERSON CALLED QPD & thought I was ADVOCATING ANOTHER MASSACRE OR MARATHON INCIDENT. THEY TAKE NO CHANCES NOWADAYS.
I was in a psyche ward. ALL CLEAR QUINCY MA PD TO SECRET SERVICE. NOW WHAT.
@word up I will. Nobodies in Boston media 1770. DAY1 US HISTORY CLASS.
@Madolina Degocelli so you know Charles Laquidera then.
@Madolina Degocelli are u Duane Ingalls Glasscock
People they’re simply a basket of deplorables.
Has he ever really SALUTED them. He just waves his hand up. He’s Pathetic
He saluted a freaking Nkorea General . PATHETIC!!!!
@Stacey Donald Trump has no respect for anybody.
No civilian should ever salute anyone in the military! Not even POTUS. It’s disrespectful. Reagan, started that crap.
@connie baldwin Yes. you are right on the button . That is as military as it gets this dotard . What a HUGE disgrace his whole slimy family has been for the United States
AS A FORMER MILITARY BRAT I CAN SAY, IF WE EVER SALUTED AS HE DOES, WE WOULDNT HAVE SAT DOWN FOR A WEEK. WE WERE TAUGHT HOW TO SALUTE AND HOW TO RESPECT OUR FLAG. HUGGING IT WAS A BIG NO.
And we never had a President who won’t WILLFULLY show his Tax Return either.. The worst President EVER!!!!!!!
Supported by a corrupt conservative Supreme Court and Senate.
@Rich Burgess – Name one what? Illegal activity? OK – Fraud, theft, tax fraud, campaign law violations, money laundering, emoluments violations, corruption, influence peddling – the list just goes on and on…
@Tony C. yup ! So true!
Hey,
Could it be that Democrat leaders want Trump out of the White House to hide their own criminal activity? http://www.snopes.com Yes, most definitely.

@cindy o and the criminals that tried to overthrow our Republic are going to hang for treason…..
September 9th baby……
Not only “faithless to his oath”, but also an irresponsible & immoral individual who has ever held the POTUS title
Trump’s handler and benefactor Putin, has placed a price tag on the heads of our troops in Afghanistan. And Trump responds by doing absolutely nothing. Trump has never said one bad word about Putin. Not….one.
To be fair, he did nothing through his whole presidency, unless it made him some money.
He is the best at doing nothing.
Sickening isn’t it. But he has vilified the handicapped minorities Muslims women the press our military heroes and even our allies. But he treats Putin like Jesus Christ. There’s no doubt Putin has something on Trump and our soldiers are just a pawn in his scheme. Be safe and have a nice holiday.
He only praises him and glows when Putin is around him. The whole world is watching. USA is not the most admire country nor the strongest. Is weak thanks to Trump. GOP loves him and his base are ignorant. Not paying attention to what is going on with this president or just don’t care.
*Well, the Morbidly Obese Orange Monkey is double dipping on his Putin bounty kickbacks!*
*”I believe Putin!” – Donnie Helsinki Trump -*
At some point, a man who DOES read intelligence reports looked over a KGB dossier and said to himself, “Hmmm. Crooked American businessman. Can’t get loans anymore. Lies unblushingly. Political ambitions. I can work with this.”
Then to his subordinate he said, “Yuri Ivanovitch, reach out to this …Trump person. Ask if he needs a friend.”
Donald is The Perfect Traitor supported by Moscow Mitch and Republican Senators.
Media outlets are not a friend to America when division becomes more profitable then community.
Your first amendment right is literally stabbing you and your just watching the country bleed without patching the holes
The true fundamental problem with america right there boiled down to a sentence
@Bob saget proof? Never pathetic cultist ha ha, try reading sometime.
@Wheatie Sweetie Ok clearly you are as intellectual as a brick wall.
Look let me explain it to you because honestly your clearly in a position mentally that needs something pointed to you.
Not one comment i wrote was anything pro republican or pro democrat you inferred that through your own simple mind.
I stated facts and facts alone why you would choose to isolate facts to one party or another tells me you don’t have the intelligence to argue your point
Yes, the United States has had dumb Presidents, incompetent Presidents and immoral Presidents but never faithless Presidents. Donald Trump is all these encapsulated in one person: A traitor-in-chief.
We never had a traitor president. Until now. Hopefully never again!
@SunriseLAW Only traitors from team drump can count on votes from other traitors. GTFO, traitor.
He needs to resign and pence he allready impeached gop get him out…
And a racist a narcissist an egomaniacal pathological liar whose lies never cross the path of logic. And those are his good points. Could we have done any worse than trump.the answer is an unequivocal resounding no. My pet dog would be an upgrade. And my pet cat would be a better vice president…..wishful thinking. Have a nice holiday.
@ Madolina Degocelli so what it your opinion on this current proven issue of Russian bounties being placed on American soldiers involving Trump that is going on right now?
Remember when republicans were outraged because president Obama asked a marine to hold an umbrella? Well, those same republicans are just looking the other way this time
Romanes eunt domus
I remember. It was raining and Present Obama was giving an outdoor speech.
I also remember that Congressman Wilson who yelled during Obama’s speech:”You lie!” who now is strangely quiet when Trump lies with each breath he takes.
His utter disrespect he showed President Obama, which I believed had a lot to do with his race, while being silent during the tenure of the worst president in America’s history will be his disgusting legacy.
Other presidents had soldiers hold umbrellas also.
@President of the Virgin Islands
Had it been any other president, Democratic or Republican, it would not have been given a second thought, as your comment makes clear.
So why did it elicit strong complaints when it was done by President Obama? What’s different between Obama and all the other presidents who have done the same?
@Kicky Because Obama is black. They looked for any and everything to pick him apart.
@President of the Virgin Islands
That’s the only difference I see also.
The best war time president ever… in his mind… selling out the country, freedom, and much more…
Trump is the new Benedict Arnold. The Trump name will forever come to symbolize failure and faithlessness.
At least Benedict Arnold was a COMPETENT general. tRump isn’t, at least, a COMPETENT business man.
@IHCTerra I’m not talking about the removal, I’m pointing out the fact, that Crackhead Hunter got that job though his fathers influence, and that’s the same as Joe Biden taking a bribe, he used his position to obtain a lucrative job for his inexperienced son, that’s the same a excepting a payoff. That itself is corruption.
@LL Frcs Raise a white feather?
@Matthew Lewis true but he was also executed for treason what’s trump’s excuse?
@john carioscia Trump’s kids didn’t get a job because of their father’s influence, he gave them jobs. Bidens son getting a job working for a corporation isn’t illegal. Hiring your kid in a government job is. Letting them use that job for personal gain is also. Using campaign funds to funnel money into your kids pockets by buying out his crappy book is a crime.
You have to be blind stupid to complain about something legal while your guy is doing 10 times that and his actions are actually illegal. And he is committing treason on top of it.
Lets exile Trump to Russia and not let him come back !!!!
Put him in a cell. Come back in three weeks to dump the corpse.
He already applying for asylum he gonna go to Russia on Jan 19 2021
Send him to Iran
If Trump loses in Nov. you wont have to send him to Russia- the USA will be communist – be careful you dont get what you wish for. The speaker of the house isnt named Nazi Policy for nothing …
why would you want to reward him with the very thing he seems to want?
Trump was compromised by Russia way before running for president. With Russia’s interference in the election he became President Trump. Deep down he’s always been Comrade Trumpski.
Force Protection is sacred. Trump is a failed human being.
@Child OfGod shut it clown
HEY TURDBRAIN, IF YOU WANT TO PROTECT OUR FORCES, THEN DEMAND THEY BE BROUGHT HOME!!!
The real failure has been to send those troops to Afghanistan and Iraq in the first place, and to continue to keep them there
@John Hillman truth…..
@Darth Quantum Darth. Nice to hear from you. Your keyboard stuck in all caps? 🤔 🤔
41% still love him. That is more disgusting than the con traitor himself.
@David Broadbent you call him cheat o s.. because you know nothing about a heavly glow…wins against all odds..gods will
@Ariki Royal delusional. just like Trump.
@jeff mcgowan you cant tell what is fake or real. most people can tell the difference.
@jeff mcgowan i see you copy and paste your responses…
look at you ,and you will find out why people prefer Trump …You dont see it?you don’t have a mirror?
REPUBLICANS HAVE NO SHAME THEY HAVE CHOSEN RUSSIA OVER AMERICA 🇺🇸😔🇺🇸
Mitch McConnell certainly did. Given the choice of the flag or the cash, he sold out faster than the toilet tissue aisle at the dollar store.
This issue has been going on since day 1 of trump. He is in putins pocket. He owes him billions.
Trump is a monster.
Putin just got himself overwhelmingly reelected as pres of russia till 2036.
Traitors work cheap, Putin bought whole GOP for a dozen billiin.
@Wheatie Sweetie
Trump got a six pack of Clorox and some red golf balls.
Not Republicans, MAGA, aka, Neo KKK.
And we all know the KKK are sons and daughters of the Confederacy.
“The President is a Hoax, let us not forget” Speaker Nancy Pelosi
I said that too prior to her, perfect.
I am proud to have voted for our tough as nails CA gal Speaker Pelosi every time she’s been on my ballot. She totally nailed it. She is a major thorn in Moscow Mitch and traitor Trump’s side. That alone makes her worth her weight in pure gold lol!
