  1. *The whole world is laughing at Little Donny Fail-Fail.*
    *The whole world is laughing at his MAGAdummi fans, too.*

    1. @Real Talk
      Trying to obstruct justice is still a crime
      110 contacts with Russians mentioned in the Mueller
      The coverup story about the Russian laywer connected with Putin why did trump do that if it was nothing

      Mueller never mentioned he wasnt impeded
      Mueller also said there is probably a “spectrum of witnesses” who fell somewhere between not telling the full truth and outright lying. He agreed with Demings’ assessment that these possible lies placed limits on his investigation, saying that that’s “usually the case.”
      What woulld explain the juni 2018 Helsinki summit statements ?
      But you aren’t reasonable about his lying
      Why did trump lie about so many things.
      Congress still haven’t seen the unredacted Mueller report yet
      Why is trump legal team fighting over a some details in a report if it “clears” trump involvement

    2. @Real Talk That’s hundreds of examples. It’s no longer a generalization. Your party is full of psychopath murderers. But let me guess, you can generalize liberals, blacks, minorities and refugees from south america and Mexico as terrorists right?

      Don’t you have a mass shooting to plan?

    1. HodgePodge Doodles. Delta buys Airbus, No wonder the President had a disagreement. Wake up People…the President expects you to be loyal to the US. The People should not expect anything less. MAGA.

    2. @Steve Selke and what are you known for Steve? Hmmm…I have to get back to you on that question,once I figure out how I’m going to pay my rent.

    3. @B.J Cameron, Trump has done more for Israel since he got to the office than any other country. MIGA.

  2. “Buying planes from other countries”. How dare anyone buy safe airplanes! Let’s just put everyone in a 737max!

    1. Can’t we just put Trump, Pence, and Moscow Mitch on board a 737max for a round the world flight, or at least as far as they make it.

    2. @Robert Bantleon – Now need to get greedy, but I wouldn’t object to having Sarah Sanders board the plane with them.

  3. Trump attacked the NFL and now attacks Airlines. Wait a minute, didn’t he try his hand in these businesses and failed miserably?

    1. @Wit da Shittz Why? Because THE RUSSIANS are paying the President to be a Russian spy. Good luck with that. If you don’t like the President then stop whining and try to vote him out.

  4. The 🇺🇸 Airlines are not big contributors to Trump so he disregards their and Americans best interests. Typical.

    1. @Richard Christie Monopolies only serve corporate interests. Hence Reagan’s dismantling of anti-monopoly laws in the 80’s, and continued in one form or another (like Citizens United), through Clinton, Bush 2 and the current plutocrat in the WH.

    2. David Ellis. you’ve been watching CNN again. Latest News. Democrats Debt-$50 Million… Republicans in the Black $25 Million+$35Million in reserves. President $128 Million. 98% of contributors were $200 dollars and less. American Airlines need to buy US planes or Trumps people will look for a Boeing Air-plane.

  5. *President Obama has more principles, integrity, class, moral ethics and sheer intellectual power in his little finger than Traitor Trump will EVER have.*

    1. @Danny Boyd i fear if he gets his way with the DNI pick, even if we vote him out he wont leave. His cronies wont stand up to him either, because the GOP has lost their balls and placed their mouths firmly on his.

  6. Trump has really lost it,  it doesn’t get any better.  what is wrong with this fool.  Trump acts as if these people work for him and he pays their salary.

  7. mother nature if you hear me !! a heart attack please AMERICA would not even notice 😎😎😎😎

    1. @Dj Smith He won’t stay a child forever, he’ll grow to be a worse tryant, than his father. A rotten apple don’t fall far from the tree.

    2. @Kevin Lee Let’s start him off with a major stroke for appetizers, followed with a vicious bout of pneumonia, lets leave him bed ridden, an a run down nursing home, with a overloaded bed pan, for the main course.

  8. I don’t know why Trump and the GOP point to the Democrats when they are the ones doing everything to help the pockets Middle East and the East.

    1. Republicans never admit when they make mistakes or bad decisions. Instead, they deflect their guilt and sin onto other targets and then rage against them. Sadly, their base doesn’t ever research anything, or get any information outside their Fox News bubble, and many fall for it.

      It’s so bad with Trump, that I’m sure the FBI saves time by just investigating him for anything he accuses someone else of. Since anytime Trump breaks a law or commits an act of racism, he goes out of his way to shift blame onto someone else. Anything to shift blame and create chaos. Anything so that Trump is never held accountable for his actions.

    2. @Robert Blackford It’s pointless to point out Trump’s blatant racism at this point. I don’t think there are many American’s left that hasn’t seen Trump’s racism on full display.

      I don’t know anyone outside of politicians trying to protect Trump, that have claimed Trump isn’t a blatant racist.

    3. Yeah, because calling out Baltimore as a filthy horrid city is racist.

      Telling the world that Rep Elijah Cummings is a fraud – that’s racist.

      Deporting illegals is racist too.

    4. @Jeremy Backup HAHA JEREMY you screwed up and wrote Republicans instead of Democrats at the start of your rant. Oh well we all make mistakes.

  9. Trump sided with Qatar Airlines and Saudi Airlines? Big surprise. I guess Ssudi Arabia renting all those rooms at his hotel in DC paid off. It isn’t emoluments if King Trump says it isn’t emoluments.

    1. @Chris Martino he has no interest in Israel. That is to pasify his daughter and the religious right

    2. @Robert Blackford you are either a Russian troll or a fascist white nationalist.i don’t make comments that are not true. The fascist you are defending has told over 10,000 documented lies since January of 2017. Your preconceived cognitive dissonance prevent you from processing facts.

  10. The US Airline executives had to know they were going to lose! They were going up against where Trump’s money comes from . . . the Middle East. He’d never endanger that.

  11. Is Trump qualified to enter the airline discussion?
    Trump does not read, and is not able to be briefed by experts.
    Is this merely another of Trump’s impulsive responses?
