  1. The Republican Convention Motto: “If you ain’t Indicted, you ain’t Invited”.
    🇺🇸Biden 2020🇺🇸
    😎✌

  2. “Too much and that’s enough “ for all Americans!
    VOTE HIM OUT !
    Restore the dignity to the White House🇺🇸

    1. @Ralf Jones_Slug Because we DO care about you, do not drink LYSOL to cure Covid 19. Trump zombies have to be told. Do not drink LYSOL. Live Smart and Stay Safe .

    2. @Samuel Douse haha!!! Dude! Only the Democrat Socialist Liberals who drink and injects Lysol disinfectant because they are so Dumb and Stupid just like you. Conservatives have never taken his word seriously for us it’s only a joke. But for Stupid and dumbwit Democrat like you will take it seriously and literally do it so that the biased Media can gather something that they can use against Trump to fit on their false Narratives.

    3. @Ralf Jones_Slug sorry to say but it was repubelickins that injected bleach and drank household cleaners
      tRump is their God and will swallow his Every word as gospel.

    1. @Anne Fischer it’s totally disgusting to think someone would call our president the virus. People like you have no purpose in the United States of America. Enjoy the Trump Landslide Victory ✌

    2. @Adiamo you obviously aren’t paying attention. 31%- oh wow what a landslide.and yes Trump is a virus he is a metaphor for the lowlife low consciousness low frequency and low vibration on this planet and actually it’s an American- Chinese virus because Fauci was directly involved with taking the funding over to Wuhan when Obama forbid him to do so and Fauci violated the order took the money and ran and he was in cahoots with the Chinese/CCP virologists. And there is a lot more to this event & the facts surrounding the inception of the pandemic.

    3. @Anne Fischer The fake news has brainwashed you people to the max. You must be wearing your mask on All Occasions. Fake news has brainwashed you morons into believing anything. You have lost the ability to think for yourselves you need them to tell you what to do what to say and when to do it. They have done everything to try to take President Trump down from the fake impeachment to the fake Russian hoax to thd fake Ukraine story. The only thing they had left was to crash the economy and what a coincidence covid-19 shows up it’s not covid-19 its cover up 19

    4. @Anne Fischer And Yes Landslide because you have a better chance of becoming President because Joe doesn’t have one

  3. “Passing Donald off as a good family man is up there with passing him off as a successful business man”

      THE BLM website sends their money to ACT BLUE for the Democrats anyone supporting the Democrats are being deceived . Joe Biden helped pass the Tough on Crime Act back in the 90s which resulted in mass incarcerator of Blacks and Kamala Harris targeted Blacks. Donald Trump gave more money in history to HBCU that any other president and he signed the First Step Act which released thousands of prisoners 90% are black. And traditionally it is the Democrats who get the support from the Unions the ones that help get the corrupt police officers their jobs back. Trump was trying to dismantle Unions . This election is NOT ABOUT family rivalry and she doesn’t really give seriously despairing info . Someone took a test for him and did his homework. I’ve done my friends homework in the past . When I was in high school I would say 85 % of the people in Advance Placement and the International Baccalaureate Program were cheating . I never saw so much cheating until my teachers had me transferred to advance placement, here were only about 4 minorities in these classes and I was thinking no wonder all these white kids are on the honor roll they are cheating the * off . So I’m not really phased by that info. I personally DONT care if his sister took his test for him. I dont even care if he used a racial slur its not an example of the best character, however I know depending on the situation people say things out of anger . At the end of the day Donald Trump is the BEST candidate despite what is being said. He took the US out of the World Health Organization which is a big deal , If he doesn’t get back in office there are even more dangerous agendas that are being pushed .

      Noted the WHO has a medical code for ICD9-CM code E978 lists a code for a “Legal Execution” under the provision intervention. Donald Trump has been trying to tell the American People there is a cure for the virus . But the World Health Organization plans to implement a GLOBAL VACCINE and force it on everybody?!

      Noted the US patent for the Corona virus was filed in APRIL 2003 and published in 2007?
      Then this virus is set loose right before the election

      The same Year the virus was created Law and Order did an episode on a murder for a coronavirus that was cooked up in a lab ?! and Deadzone did an episode that was almost prophetic to what happen in the US and guess what the cure was hydroxychloroquine !? # TRUMP 2020

    3. @Justicia Rizzo …. There are many things wrong with America the selection of Trump as president is an extreme example, he just makes things worse.

      The best option is the Democrats.

    4. @Justicia Rizzo He’s good businessman He filed bankruptcy 6 times ! It’s a part of court public records . There was no gain or sibling rivalry from the sister talking about what she knew was the truth she spoke facts because she stated she knew the individual that took the test. I look at a person action for the past four years in office. All I will say Covid 19 ….. We as american can not afford to play Russian roulette with peoples lives again, You don’t get another do over period

  4. I mean is anyone really surprised by this?? He definitely is a liar and his own sister giving such embarrassing details about him when he was in college just reveals what we already know about this p.o.s.

    1. Wondering out loud…what about a class action suit against Trump et al once Trump loses the election by all of us who have lost a family member to COVID. Not all the money donated for the campaign would cover Trump’s legal fees. And once he is out of office, his lackey Bill Barr could not use the Justice Department’s resources to protect him.

  5. What kind of a country is the US when the president can openly rig the election and not be arrested and thrown in jail, sitting president or not. HE IS NOT ABOvE THE LAW !!!!!!!!!!

    1. @Glasgow 6715 “Obama has never been indicted” not yet. That’s because the media, and deep state covered up for him every chance they get but the Durham investigation isn’t over yet.

    2. @No Deal: Yes, it was wrong for the Democrats to claim that the Ballot Security was Fool-proof – *nothing* is Fool-proof, as the Fools will always will _always_ find a way to exceed your expectations!

      Donald Trump is a Textbook case of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. The Primary Aspect of this disorder is that those who have it _lack the capacity to show Empathy_ – exactly what Mary Trump has stated. D.Trump has never shown any sign of empathy or consideration for anyone or anything that isn’t directly connected to his Financial Success – not his country, not its citizens, not its troops, not even his own family. And as NPD is often genetically inherited (though usually dormant without training by a carrying Parental Figure), it’s very likely he’s been groomed this way by someone in his Family – given that most of his family is fully on-board the Trump Log-Ride, they’re probably not all innocent in this either.

      With his heavily sheltered and spoiled upbringing, and the backing of Billions of dollars from his family and Capitalist associates, Donald Trump has been able to deceive a majority of the country with a ‘Fake it ’til you Make it’ approach and secured the phenomenal powers and responsibilities that come with being the *President of The United States of America!*
      There are so many laws in place that someone so inconsiderate of Human Life (or life in general) shouldn’t be able to even be considered for Nomination for Parliament, let alone the Presidency. The System should have been *’Fool-proof’* – and you know where I’m going with this…

    3. Helen Forrestal, Obama’s Presidential Victory is also a Rigged Election. And Obama supposed to be Disqualified. But the Democraps are above the Law.

  6. Mary, how can they “look at what he does” when his base is so stupid, they’ve been convinced all news other than Fox is fake and Fox will never run something that makes Don look bad? 🤔🇺🇸

    1. Many fellow narcissists like and admire him, they are birds of a feather. Many are trauma bonded and believe him when he says he cares about the blue collar American. Some abdicate their voice by allowing others to speak for them, they don’t challenge.

    2. @UY Scuti it’s quite scary when you look up “Who joins a cult?” Or who is susceptible to a cult… The answer is, We all are. Unless you challenge the status quo and question. Look at cause and effect, do their words match their actions? Stand up for what you believe in, don’t be a sheeple

    3. @Lynn Clark ACTUALLY… according to the FBI and bureau of statistics… The most VIOLENT cities are REPUBLICAN… do your homework!

    4. @RavenStealstheNight Sorry, i know you’re trying to sound sane and knowledgable, buy we both know that’s not true. The real narcissists are democrats. They’re of this idea that they’re opinions are law. If anyone opposes them, they must be ‘uneducated’, ‘racist’, or now ‘trauma bonded’…? Another one of your droll attempts at belittling a group of people that you can’t control…you failed. Good luck 🙂

  7. She’s already outsold his Art of the Deal, originally named the Art of the Steal or How to Screw the contracted or hired help for pennies on the dollar

    1. In the art of the deal book donald trumpity says that you can’t be too greedy. What does Jesus say about greed? What does the Bible say about greed. When he takes your social security pension he’ll take mine, too. We can both ride a bus to church and beg for a meal.

    2. GEE SHE’S DEFINITELY NOT DOING THIS FOR MONEY!! How much do you think she’s getting paid on top of the book? (Or maybe the book sales are not organic and that’s how she’s being paid off, either way)

    3. @mintymus She’s an intellectual has a successful career and has written a best selling book. That seems to be satisfactory to her. Not everyone wants a career in politics and many who crave political power are not fit for the job- Donald.

    1. @Lynn Clark Why not you People only understand insults MAGA creeps siding with an orange monster

      I don’t know who i hate more Trump or his sickening base of cult members.

      “If you stand with Donald Dump you are the bad guy of this story nothing more and nothing less.

    2. @Keyan Ritz

      I don’t know if you skipped over this on purpose, or if you didn’t see it. This is the list of horrible things Trump has done. The one that
      jarrod goforth posted earlier in this comment section. You should read it if you want to know why Trump is a regarded as a bad person.

      9.Packing the courts with unqualified judges
      .

      Remember when Moscow Mitch left a SCOTUS seat open for more than a year to prevent Obama’s nomination from getting seated? Remember when he refused to even give him a proper hearing? This tactic, sadly, worked. Not only did it work to keep a SCOTUS seat open, Trump has packed the courts and this legacy will easily be felt for decades. More abhorantly, Trump has confirmed at least 5 nominations that the BAR association ranks “not qualified.” This shouldn’t be surprising because back in 2017, Trump ended the BAR association’s role in vetting justices.

      Can you imagine what Republicans would say if Obama even entertained the thought of ending the BAR’s vetting process? Can you even imagine what they would do if he picked a judge ranked “not qualified”?

      8. Kicking people off food stamps

      It’s no secret that Republicans hate welfare and demonize people on food stamps. His new draconian policy will kick more than 700,000 people off food stamp roles. Many of the people affected can’t find work or are severly underemployed. Many low-paying jobs won’t offer people a full 20-hour work-week. Should these people be punished because their employer won’t give them a 20-hour week?

      Fun fact: Food stamps boost retailers and contribute significantly to the economy. In fact, food stamp benefits even helped lift the economy out of recession.

      7. Placed a “Gag rule” on Title X

      Nearly 900 clinics lost federal funding after the new gag rule. Despite the fact that the Hyde Amendment prohibits federal funding for abortions, apparently this doesn’t go far enough for the forced birthers. The damage is real. As of Oct 2019, 5 states now lack any Title X clinics. Rachael Gold and Lauren Cross notes:

      Each component of the new regulations is harmful. Taken together, the domestic gag rule is blatantly coercive and a violation of medical ethics and patients’ rights. As a cornerstone of the Trump administration’s ideological agenda against reproductive rights, the gag rule is designed to reduce access to family planning care for people with low incomes and force providers to make harmful compromises.

      6. Trump’s tariffs continue to harm the economy

      Despite the “good” economy, Trump’s tariffs have done significant damage to the economy. According to the American Farm Bureau, Chapter 12 bankruptcies are on the rise again. Moreover, the manufacturing indistury that Trump tried to save is now deep in recession. In fact, a federal study published today shows significant harm to the economy.

      5. Continues to prop up Russian conspiracies

      The Mueller Report and multiple intellegent agencies all noted that it was Russia that interferred with the 2016 Presidential Election. However, this didn’t stop Trump from claiming that it was Ukraine. Where did he get that idea? Well, because Putin told him.

      4. Cozying up to dictators

      Trump has no qualms with cozying up to the worst human rights violaters in power today. From Vladimir Putin to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. In fact, Trump said that he gets along better with these people than media journalists.

      3. Abandoning our Kurdish Allies

      In a big blow to our allies, Trump decided to completely abandon the Kurds. This effectively endorsed the Turkish genocide on the Kurds. Over 130,000 Kurds have been forced to leave their home and ISIS prisoners escaped. To top it all off, Trump even claimed that the Kurds are “better off” without American involvment.

      2. Ukraine aid scandal

      Thanks to this, Donald Trump is now the third president in US history to be impeached. Despite no wrongdoing on Biden’s part, on July 18, Trump withheld more than $400 million in aid to Ukraine to get them to investigate Biden. The order to freeze the aid came only 90-minutes after his now infamous phone call with Zelensky.

      1. Trumps abhorrent immigraiton policy

      Between April and June, 24 immigrants died while in ICE custodies. The condition in these concentration camps are horrid. The Trump administration has gone so far to deny children something so basic as toothpaste and soap. They have also been forced to wear soiled clothing and denied baths. In spite of a CDC recommendation, immigrants are denied the flu vaccination. They even went so far to refuse donations by doctors. A 16-year-old died of the flu in a concrete cell and at least 3 children died of the flu in ICE camps.

      This is how genocides start. From day 1, Trump has been laying the foundations for a genocide. We must stand together and stand strong to close the ICE concentration camps.

  8. When will we stop being surprised. Our system is responsible for allowing a monster to become president. Wake up Americans!

    1. We have had monsters in the White House for years and years. Biden is a creepy old man that touches little girls is that not a monster

  9. Knowing all this information its scary to think he could be reelected to another four years.I can’t believe all the illegal crap this president is getting away with .

    1. What I can’t believe is how anyone can still support him, and how any self-respecting woman could vote for him.
      #AnyoneButTrump2020 _pass it on!_

    2. @Helen Scarcella Your shocked by this saying this NONE of YALL have watched house of cards and it shows rn what you said is NORMAL politics difference is everyone hates trump so now everyone is just figuring out how dirty it is.

    3. @Operation 660 554 government officials have been fired, resigned or retired in the last 3 3/4 years under Trump. Doesn’t that speak volumes of what’s going on?

    4. @L S
      You forgot to mention all Donny’s enablers that are in jail, awaiting sentencing, about to be indicted – including the Con Man himself! That really speaks much louder volumes of the criminality going on!

    5. @Isabelle Phaneuf 2 of things he has stated he wants to do is bring I term limits for co gross which isnt a bad thing and he does want to do away with the party system which also isnt a bad thing either

  10. every trump supporter – fingers stuck in ears going “lalalala” they will not even listen to anything negative about him it doesn’t matter what it is or how true it is they will not listen to the truth

    1. Omg that’s spot on. I had an argument with a Trumper about the environment. I cited specific orders, plans, dates. Even linked a video where he’s signing various orders about pipelines. A VIDEO. The person kept responding “It’s lies from the left!!!!” I couldn’t believe it. Absolute rejection of reality.

    2. @T. L. Exactly that’s been all my experience. Even in my own family trying to talk reason with them and eventually it devolves into them name calling every time.

    3. Angie Hemenway
      Yep me too. Had full blown shouting matches with fam — and it’s left me going, “WTF just happened?” Love it when Trump supporters try to claim he’s not divisive. He lives for this 💩

    4. @T. L. you are so right. It’s heartbreaking really especially seeing there’s nothing if substance from him. But you ask them why they support him and they have no real answers it’s all well he’s kept his promises or other nonsense.

    5. Angie Hemenway
      Exactly right. Can’t wait to see him go. We need some serious healing. 💜Things will never be the same, but they can get better.

  11. Honestly, the more the media says “its against the law” when describing the things Trump does, the more they make this country look foolish. Because this means that “THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD” allows this ONE MAN to commit all of these illegal acts and we stand by and do nothing more than complain about it. Its ridiculous to me. How can we be a powerful nation if we are literally saying “OMG what happens if he doesn’t leave the White House after he’s voted out.” I just want to vomit every time I hear this. Becaause if Trump was Obama he would have been thrown out of the White House a long long long time ago without care about how or when they can do it. So this is embarrassing and insulting to me as a black woman.

    1. Agree with you , Yes, if it were President Obama they would have marched to the WH torn down the fences, blown open the doors and attempted to drag President Obama out onto Pennsylvania Avenue.

    2. He hasnt been voted out yet. If things go bad with the election it will probably be Nancy Pelosi who is president. And I can assure you she will commit more illegal acts than Trump ever thought of. And Obama should have been throw out of the White House right after Benghazi.

    3. And Trump said all those bad things about President Obama. I’D have a beer with Obama anytime, but wouldn’t want Mafia Don anywhere near me.

  12. No he doesn’t care. He left Americans without federal help after a major hurricane destroyed Puerto Rico. He didn’t even seem to know they are Americans.

    1. @Johnny Thunder If you think collecting social security and medicare is “free loading”, then donate your checks to the poor. I bet you won’t.

  13. Everything she’s said about trump are things I’ve known about him for decades. donald trump has never been one to hide his corruption. Because he’s never had to account for anything he’s done. He has never ever suffered any consequences for the many, many crimes he’s committed over many, many years. Long before he amazingly became president. He was born soulless and because he’s never been held accountable, he thinks he never will be. Let’s hope that changes after the election. You know, I come from a long line of narcissistic people, all on my father’s side of the family. And I’m very thankful and always have been that I am just the opposite. I wonder if Mary Trump, who I admire greatly, feels the same way.

    1. @Shane Shoemake There’s no such thing as a covert narcissist. They’re incapable of disguising it, although they do attempt to fake other real emotions they don’t have either, such as empathy, caring, or compassion.

    2. @Shane Shoemake easy… do their actions match their words? They, narcissists tend to PROJECT and over inflate everything they say/do

    3. @Glena Garrett There IS and covers do exist. They are the really malicious and dangerous ones. They over compensate for their perceived abilities… this is how they get caught. Give them enough rope and they’ll eventually hang themselves.

    4. @RavenStealstheNight Yes, given, I know, clinical descriptions. Thing is, I could always tell, there are always signs IF you know what to key on. I’ve had them in my personal as well as work lives. I’m beginning to believe basic psychology should be a prerequisite in public education, starting early. So many kids are adversely affected by narcissistic schoolmates, just look at the amount of lopsided romantic relationships and bullying that happens, often resulting in long term psychological damage.

    5. @Lynn Clark ok let’s talk about bounties on soldiers heads by Russia. tRump has never even mentioned one word about them. Nothing condemning them or about the dead soldiers except that dead soldiers are fools.
