    1. Usually madmen becoming leaders of powerful nations have a higher IQ than average… not so in America.

    2. Jaikee Berlin Neah, just Trump. He’s a self proclaimed genius. We all know he’s fcked up in the brain.

    3. @Jaikee Berlin That is a common misconception. Politicians are not measured for their IQ in any way, shape or form. That is what politicians would like you to think though…

    4. I recall a previous Traitor, crook, “madman in the
      WH”.
      Hundreds of thousands of protesters showed
      up in Layfette Park to demand his
      resignation.
      We scared the crap outta the establishment.
      Nixon (R) resigned the following day!

  1. So, elections can’t be held safely due to Covid, but it is safe to open schools ! Brilliant Trumpism !

    1. Peter S. VERMEIRE And to think these are adults who are idiots. We are at war with this virus and Trump is so willing to put children and their teachers on the forefront. To think these are our leaders!

    1. Ruth, you should join our SLAM H.I.T. group. You will be a great addition to the group. Join us in SLAM H.I.T. [Hannity, Ingraham, Tucker] which I started about a month age. The group is growing rapidly. We place comments and videos on Fox videos [and other media outlets]. We lead with a comment that entices Trump supporters to open the video. WE DO NOT ATTACK TRUMP SUPPORTS. DO NOT STOOP DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL.
      My original goal was 500 SLAM H.I.T.ers, it has been changed to 5,000.

    1. @TigR 5hark You are so right he is insanely dangerous the good news is that the MILITARY is not supporting his fascist playbook…that is maybe are only hope…

    2. @Dennis Moon Well said and the news need to not keep repeating it to my children and their friends 😅

    3. Please someone tell me that they replaced the nuclear codes in the briefcase with coloring books and crayons.

    1. No, it means it’s something he heard from alt-right media and he wants us all to “believe him”.

    2. “Everyone” in his head. He hasn’t got a split personality (A voice in his head) He’s got a Shattered personality (Hundreds of voices in his head)

    3. The ones in his little circle are often next in line for the chute that leads directly under the bus

  2. He’s almost ten points back in all polls, yet he thinks the election is rigged against him, trump is so desperate right now, and he’s going to be a lot worse the closer his end gets.

    1. You can compare the Trump presidency to DR. Frankenstein’s creation of the monster they both started off with good intentions but they went South quick😱

    2. Well:
      He is right!
      The polls is riged against him, but he’s the one who rigged them with his stupid antics and do nothing response to everything as president.
      Ppl know everything is his fault and nobody wants him as their leader.
      Ppl didn’t vote him in the office to be ostricized from their citizenship and human rights.
      Trump and his administration caused all this, so yes the voting system is riged and he rigged it.
      Phuc Donald Trump and his administration.
      Phucumol!!!!

    1. That’s why he’s afraid and keeps speaking against mail in voting is a fruad so he can justify defunded the post office…he’s losing badly in the polls, and will be no longer president and that will leave him open to be arrested and prosecuted in New York for his corruption money laundering crimes.

    2. Like Nixon was, sorry folks but sadly ex presidents appear to be above the law. Particularly when it would set a President.

    3. @Robin But he can’t be pardoned by any President for state crimes and Letia James the Attorney General of NY has stated her number one goal is to indict prosecute and imprison the entire Trump crime family. I hope she succeeds. Also a pardon from one president can be rescinded by another President Andrew Johnson’s pardons were rescinded by President Ulysses S Grant. So if Trump resigns on 1/19/21 so Pence can pardon him before Biden becomes President, Biden could turn right around and rescind that pardon. He could so the same for all Trump’s pardoned co conspirators….

  3. Whenever Trump starts a statement with “everyone knows” you know he is about to lie again and again😂😂😂

    1. I call BS… Politicians are the real liars and Trump exposed them. The media is the real liars too. Propaganda media swamp rats.

    2. @8ernity8 In case you didn’t notice, Donald John Trump has been a politician and used the media for propaganda his whole adult life. Open eyes. Use head for something besides a hatrack, as my father used to say…please. Then comment again. Thank you.

    3. @8ernity8 : Kayleigh M promised from day one as press secretary that she would never “lie to the media and to the American people”!!! Then she promptly began to read massive lies from her script book of lies!!!😂😂😂. You might easily qualify as a future Trompisite Press Secretary. Your claim that ole Trump is not a liar is truly amazing. He lies and then lies about the lies he’s just told! Has the virus “just magically disappeared yet”???🤣🤣🤣

  4. Trump has a ” tell”. Anytime he’s doing something illegal, he accused other people of doing that exact same thing.

    1. There is also his invisible “air accordion” he plays while telling a whopper, oops I meant “alternative fact”.

  5. When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.”
    ― Thomas Jefferson

    BIDEN/2020

    1. He exists in chaos. He has us in Chaos. It’s how he hides his total incompetence. Total chaos from minute to minute, hour by hour, day by day. It’s insanity.
