Noreb No, but they are in cahoots with the lame stream media to get rid of Trump .
@Julie Dorval Bring some alcohol wipes with you to the booth. And a wear mask.
28 million infected and nearly 1 million dead, thanks to Winnie Xi Jinpooh
Lets vote Trump and stick around to see him win and drain the swamp!!!
*TRUMP 2020!* Check these facts!
Noreb Apparently, according to President Donald J. Trump, Joe Biden is in charge of the federal government, haha.
“Trump criticizes Biden at town hall for not issuing a national mask mandate — but Biden as a candidate has no authority to do so”
https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-criticizes-biden-on-national-mask-mandate-biden-not-president-2020-9
@EyefoxMJ4EVR Biden as president would not have the authority to issue a national mask mandate.
Read the tenth amendment…
Pha Q Well, you better tell President Donald Trump, because he’s criticizing Biden for not doing it, even though Joe Biden isn’t the President yet.
Too late…you are on tape buddy.
Yeah, it’s as if Trump is having an out of orange body experience. He’s a frigging nut job.
Present Trump does not concern himself with anything that Past Trump may have said or done. Even if it happened just yesterday.
https://youtu.be/Y6jW8QVOP7k It’s no wonder the Covid death rate is so high in the USA, it’s phony.
@Brian Nave Hey Brian! How’s it going man? Long time no see. What you doing this weekend? I’ll lend you my shovel so you can spend a couple days at the graveyard to pay for your lies this week. Sound good? Awesome! Take care buddy
George Washington: “I cannot tell a lie…I did cut it with my hatchet”
trump: “I never met that tree…and my chopping was perfect!
Trump for prison 2021

VOTE, complete the census and then help others do the same. Dr. Bandy X. Lee, Yale School of Medicine wrote May 13th in the DC Report, “Genocide: Trump’s Final Solution To Immigrants And Minorities “Let’s Call His Purposeful Bungling of the Pandemic Response What It Is—Genocide. According to the United Nation’s Genocide Convention, the perpetration of genocide requires an “intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group.” Since the White House itself has acknowledged the disproportionate deadly effects of the virus on minority communities, the intent can no longer be denied.” I would include the elderly & other vulnerable populations. Trump doesn’t need gas chambers when he’s got COVID. And please keep questioning Mr. Woodward’s myopic & unethical six month delay on releasing vital information. Woodward &Trump knew “what & when”. It has been very well documented. Those tapes… without question they would have made a difference about a couple hundred thousand lifetimes ago… Thank you
@Nine Fools Wise thank you
@Paula Gandolfo You are welcome 🙂
He’s leaving a trail of homicide behind him. They just don’t know they’re dead yet. Some of them are so stupid, they’re killing their families. He is committing negligent homicide every single day.
Brian Nave you are right. Trump and his gang of cowardly Trumpublicans have been suppressing the real numbers which are WAY higher!
Trump just admitted such to Woodward.
Buhleev me…
💚💗
Michael Bray You didn’t even watch the link did you?
Brian Nave like a Trump voter, I just “go with my gut” and do what feeeeeels right.
Trump has hit on real issues but offers absurd solutions that “feeeel” right but you know, deep down inside, that the solutions will be long term, involve compromise and honesty.
For Donnie, that is three strikes.

More like a herd of morons! Trump confesses the dangers of this virus! and these Idiots still believe it’s a democratic hoax? I’m convinced there is no helping or even communicating with these Morons. “I’m looking out for mine”

Wonder where the trolls are ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
What is Compulsive Lying Disorder?
Compulsive lying disorder, also known as pseudologia fantastica or mythomania, is a condition that describes the behavior of a habitual liar.
While compulsive lying disorder is actually not included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV), except as a symptom of factitious disorder, many psychiatrists and psychologists consider it a distinct mental disorder.
In the past two decades countless hours of research and multiple papers have been written regarding this issue, though it remains one of the most under researched psychiatric conditions. Individuals with the disorder simply cannot stop themselves from misrepresenting the truth.
People with the disorder are not able to control their lies and experience no guilt regardless of how the lies may affect themselves and others. The lack of guilt is frequently the result of the fact that the individual becomes so caught up in the lie that they are telling, they begin to believe it themselves. If confronted with a lie they have told in the past or one that they are presently telling, they will be insistent that they are speaking the truth.
Over time, the individual will become so adept at lying that it will be very difficult for others to determine if they are, in fact, telling the truth. There are no exact figures regarding the number of people that suffer from this disorder, but has been found to be equally common in men and women and usually becomes very apparent in the late teens.
Trump’s new plan is to convince America they didn’t see and hear him down playing coronavirus while he continues to downplay Coronavirus, as we near 205,000 expired Americans.
Chaos, lies an confusion is the only trump has ever known how to do his entire life
💙💙😍💕
Please vote BLUE at least for THIS election!
Anyone can be the President when times are good, however, it’s when you have to deal with crisis then you need a leader. Epic Fail Don; Vote Blue
No he really did mean to say “ herd mentality “ it’s how he views his rally goers.
“I don’t take any responsibility at all.”
