Trump Finds Himself On An Island When It Comes To His Race-Baiting & Divisiveness | Deadline | MSNBC

    1. Yes, and tragically his racist “loyal” base, is destroying itself.
      They are the ones NOT WEARING MASKS!
      I wonder if their families will forgive them for killing nanna.

    1. bunker baby is not smart enough to come up with his own stuff, and he doesn’t have the sense to change or modify the Hitler or Putin playbooks. What a fool.

  1. When Hitler realized that he had lost, he said that his country did not deserve to survive either. It seems that Donald “Bunker Boy” Trump has the same sentiment about the US.

    1. bunker baby’s “scorched earth” exit… right out of the Hitler playbook.
      I’m just wondering how long it will be before he starts blaming his trump chumps for losing the election.

    2. The Pentadactyl man, am I wrong or did Trump’s July 4th speech seem reminiscent of some of Hitler’s early speeches?

    3. @Tyrade Shift I hate to say it, but you are 100% correct. I see the same thing happening all over the place.

  2. “Trump wants to burn the house down.”

    Folks, America’s house has been on fire since November of 2016. We’ve got to either put out the fire, or get out of the building.

    1. @Don Raz I assume you’re referring to the beginning of the Progressive Movement in the United States. Let’s see the Progressive Movement gave us child labor laws, workers rights, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, the Student Loan program, the Civil Rights Act the Voting Rights Act, health insurance even if you have pre-existing conditions and many more things that actually benefit the average American. What have the Conservatives done for us besides tax cuts for the wealthy and deregulation of environmental policies so that corporations to use the planet for their own personal toilet?

    2. Manly_Man 1913 was the year that the United States established the unconstitutional federal reserve that has been responsible for our economic problems such as the Great Depression and Great Recession of 2008. They hold power over this nation more than anyone else.

    3. Maybe it’s time for another revolution against evil, before they destroy all of the decency we have left, maybe a well armed citizen army to march against the republicans and Trump it’s getting late

    1. Debra Jenkins exactly. It took a while to believe that such things that have the right to vote actually exist! Sickening and appalling

    2. @Corwyn Corey I have to agree with everything you stated. Finally person who gets it!
      Oops, I am writing on one of the four News Media’s YT Channel as you are! Doesn’t make it wrong though.

    3. L H, I think the 2016 election was one f the most exhausting elections in terms of the emotional investment by the voters. Every week there was a swing in the next scandal or revelation. The defining moment was Named Comey’s announcement of the reopening of the investigation into Clinton. That came ten days before the election, and it was a combination of exhaustion and timing on the part of the electorate. I felt a shift in the attitude, to a “this is the last straw. The announcement of exoneration was simply too late. The impeachment trial was strictly spite on the part of the Republicans in the Senate. Their path of impartiality sworn before Roberts was a mockery, and a disgrace. Even the Senators who admitted the House managers had proven their case, refused to vote for conviction. The only Senator who respected his oath was Romney. Collins, Murkowski, Alexander and Gardner all could have voted for conviction without changing the outcome, but chose party over country, and honor. Schiff was right when he said Trump could do a lot of damage, he has and is to do so. Before January 20, 2021, he will do more, win or lose.

    4. @Boofer T. Washington NO….do YOU hate it that Obama won the popular vote & not just EC (2 times)?

    5. @jcspider Well said JC…am “sensing a pattern” of angry entitled, WASPM-Trumpist who hates “Demonrats” doing well?

  3. look, he’s had his fun playing “president”, now it’s time to let the adults take over and start to fix this mess.

    1. @Delekham what about other people essentially. hopefully you can grasp that. other people that has nothing to do with your crimes. I know I used big words but I lowered it down for ya. Although don’t know how you could get lost…Trump is saying o I should not be charged for crimes because these other people got away with it..https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/whataboutism-origin-meaning Even provided a page for ya to go to and see examples if you scroll down to see it in action. I can’t help you anymore then that…might want to stick to fox news…they use smaller words I think.

    2. @ReiHinoSenshi Thank You for “Dumbing it Down For me!
      Unfortunately these are Your words NOT mine
      “what about ism returuns(What is THIS word??)..I need to go rob a bank( “AND” should have been placed here) get caught and then pull out some information about people that got away. “What about” them (End of sentence, ?) should (Should have been capitalized) they got away….the thing that you seemed to forgot about that makes this invalid there not before the court at the moment.
      So many grammar and simple mistakes! I tried to make it easier for you to understand, since English might not be your first language.
      I gave up after this point, and with limited information I could discern (at times I can read NONSENSE!) I could NOT with your Original Post though. Sorry my Dear you Fail at SPEELING and Grameer.

  4. When Donny is removed from the picture, aWHOLE LOT of people are going to break down and cry, from the sheer trauma he has caused them, and us.

    1. Aunty Mammalia Totally agree. It’s a sad culture with the love/need for guns, as it immediately puts up a barrier to others and completely takes away trust, compassion, learning and conversation with people.

    1. exactly. But many veterans – even trump chumps – will remember that trump has DONE NOTHING about this credible threat.

    2. With Trump it’s ‘Dead Cats’ all the way down – he’s only happy if he is being covered for whatever egregious behaviours – it means the media isn’t covering anyone or thing else – this will fail but he won’t be able to see this…

  5. Spoiled little man child who grew up only looking out for himself and has never had any thoughts that included service/help for others.

  6. Trumps “going with his gut”. Scorched earth! He’s never learned any lessons from his pure gut instincts which are always wrong because he never suffered any consequences for his toxic, corrupt & criminal behaviors!

    1. That gut reference was rather silly considering how fat and gross it is. Never was very clever at school that boy.

  7. At what point do we get it? Trump is the American Hitler. It’s all happening again albeit in a different way.

    1. It’s not much different with his genocidal corona rallies and now demanding genocidal ovens – oops, I mean schools opening during a pandemic before the vaccine is out. We can’t even send them to school without a chickenpox vaccine.
      GENOCIDE

    2. @Kawaii Potato Most Americans did not vote for donnie. He won on an electoral vote. Hillary won the popular vote

    3. @Clutch Master
      Hey, I’m white. Blonde haired and green eyed and not a racist. I love you man. Please don’t generalize. When whites do that, they are called racist : )

  8. …”the people who support him, thought it was a beautiful speech”…this shouldn’t surprise us, as Trump “LOVES” the uneducated…

    1. Beautiful speech, no horrible bigly words we don’t know, we don’t need no education.

    2. @alanrtment porter Many of his supporters are very well educated and intelligent and rich.Their love for him comes from racism or greed.

    3. THE TRUMP SUPPORTERS ARE A BUNCH OF IDIOTS OMG I DIDN’T NO THERE ARE STILL TRUMP SUPPORTERS OUT THERE I MEAN CULT FOLLOWERS WAKE UP 🤬🤬🤬🤬VOTE BLUE 💙

  9. A desperate person will go to any length no matter what, to get what he wants. That makes him the most dangerous person in America today.

    1. trumpski WANTS SO BADLY to be a member of the “dictators club”, and Putin is happy to string him along BUT
      bunker baby, they will NEVER let you join… NEVER!
      you never were loved by your “father” or family, the boys at military school and Wharton wouldn’t have anything to do with you, the good ole boys on Wall Street and Atlantic City laugh at you. Obama uses you as the butt of his jokes.

    2. Sop what do we do to protest if the Supreme Court overrules the two lower court decisions and hide trump’s finances? What an absolute disgrace, the USA is no different than any other corrupt banana republic. No longer a just society

  10. tRump and his followers are still in the delusional mind set of a manifest destiny that having pink skin some how makes you better than others

    1. If you have ZERO melanin in your skin, you will ultimately get burned. I am Sicilian, and I know this.

    2. You mean orange skin.
      Another thing he has in common with Hitler? His genocidal corona rallies

  11. Trump started demolishing America some time ago because: “How many deaths have occurred because of Trump’s negligence in the cities and towns across America?”

    1. @JB Bgin
      So like climate change when it’s debunked you call people names.
      Aww what is wrong science not on your side of the argument again.

    2. @Jim J Name-calling is the domain of the republicans, like ‘alternate facts’ as opposed to actual facts. Anytime you don’t like something that you hear, you call it “fake news” or say “it’s a hoax”.

    3. Jim J your response might have been meant for someone else. I wasn’t name calling or talking science. I know 134 degrees f kills it in like 15 minutes and UV rays damage it in lab settings in 7 minutes. Interesting stuff. And climate change isn’t that a topic to warp one’s interest in science and politics, I haven’t thought about it for a while.

  12. He’s only in charge of the country. He is certainly not leading it, just hanging out between golf games.

    1. and think about how much better off we all would be if he would just stay on the golf course and shut up.
      but trumpsky “just being trump” will drive us into chaos and bankruptcy – just like everything else he touches.

    2. Gary, you brought up the word lead. This is the leather strap for taking your dog for a walk.
      In this government, Donald Trump is the lead, Americans are at one end, and Satan at the other. You can work out at which end each is.

    3. Ugh, he is not just hanging out. His genocidal corona rallies and forcing schools to open during a pandemic is murder if not genocide. He isn’t just golfing. He is murdering.

  13. “If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed … and we will deserve it” -Lindsey Graham
    Well, it looks like Nostradumbass was right. 👍

    1. Yet he worships the golden calf now. The entire Senate was up for sale. Who knew?
      Except Mitt Romney, not a single patriot in sight. Filthy dirty politicians. SELLOUTS

    2. Richard Atkins Yes. And so did Moscow Mitch and others. They each admitted they were going to refuse to do their jobs. Then they followed through.
      Vote blue all the down the ticket.

  14. GOP: “If Trump doesn’t get elected the Republican Party is doomed.”

    GOP now: “Trump has destroyed the Republican Party.”
