    1. @Gary hair I hope you travel and read widely outside America.

      You don’t become great by thinking putting your allies down in the name bringing industries back to yo country.

      I agree you guys deserve it to begin with but he could find a way of doing it not burning bridges.. What good does it do if you dont have jobs to feed and care for your families??

      The US is better placed to be the superpower cz it fairly helps the other countries in a nice way and we look up to you..

      But when you had Trump? 😂😂😂😂 y’all lost it. China is undercutting you big time by creating allies everywhere. Do we like it? No.. All we can wish and pray is you guys come out of this fast and take charge of the “vacuum” situation left by him.

      Right now, you being blind sided, and the rest of the world can see it, except the people within the US. It is unfortunate all of you can’t see it until you have stayed outside the US for sometime..

      I hope you get your industries back though.

  1. Excerpt from the 1st amenment of the United States of America…
    …or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

    1. @Abe Lincoln do you sleep with your black mask on , do you take it off when you sleep. Does your own wife know what you look like are do you hide your face from her to

    2. TickledPink…sure he’s afraid of something. The Flabby Fuhrer is afraid of many things, such as:
      •Facts
      •Truth
      •Ridicule
      •Never measuring up to his predecessor
      •Being exposed as a fraud
      •Being exposed as a liar
      •Being exposed as an idiot
      •Being exposed as a sexual predator
      •Being exposed as incompetent
      •High winds
      •Rain
      •Umbrellas

    3. TickledPink: That’s also exactly why He and His Press Secretary divert the Media’s questions. He’ll reveal something and She will get Fired. Or maybe Trump’s paying for Sex with her too. (Refer to Stormy Daniels) What a team, huh folks ?!

  2. *While Donald was hiding in a bunker and tweeting hate & fear* Biden was visiting the protest site where Mr. Floyd was murdered, listening to the protesters, comforting the family, consoling and speaking of a future of peace.

    1. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽indeed he was & I’m sure (former) President Obama would’ve been out there, not hiding like some scary wimp. He is an awful president & I hope bare these things in mind when it’s time to vote.

    2. That ideit more than likely went down to His bonkers whith out his wife, children, grandchildren. What has he to loose. He has not a human soul. What more can I say

    1. @rtorres81rc
      George Soros!? You haven’t gotten over that nonsense yet?
      🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
      OMG! What a pinhead!

    2. @oltedders – Thats why I said it’s a stupid RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY THEORY. that’s their WWG1WGA and Alex Jones “globalist” NWO bullshit THEY push. Not me. Trump got hundreds of millions from Soros. Soros financially backs Trump. So their conspiracy makes no sense

  3. 💩 why didn’t he send the military to stop those armed right-wingers that storm the Capitol building in Minnesota

    1. @Bill Smith nor were the protesters when they were tear gassed within the first four hours of protest.

    2. @Bill Smith — Take your meds and please always use condoms. Idiocy can be inherited and one like you is enough!

    1. A few things. Long standing racial division and economical instability.
      The right to bare arms being built in the Constitution give crazy people a falls sense of power. They don’t need to believe government so they stockpile guns.

    2. Because people want cheap products not caring who suffers, giving companies CEO power and bonuses to cut AMERICAN workers. WE NEED TO BE MAKING OUR OWN MEDICATION AND CRITICAL SUPPLIES.

    3. BECAUSE RACIST SATANIST ARE CONTROLLING THIS COUNTRY…LIEING AND TRYING TO BRAINWASH THE PEOPLE AND WE ARE TIRED OF IT!!!

  4. And what did he try to do when he mention the second amendment in his speech? Provoking these protesters to bring guns so they can fight with the police?

    1. No he constantly invokes it to appeal to his followers. He always brings it up. He could be placing a call for pizza and just burst out “SECOOOND AMENDMEEENT”.

  5. Citizens, please don’t forget this come November!!! Utilize your rights and vote!!!
    We The People 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

    1. We as black people do vote but we don’t see direct evidence of equal justice from casting our vote. The 15th amendment guaranteed our black men the right to vote but it caused envy and jealousy from white women because they felt that it was legally wrong to put black men ahead of white women by giving black men the power to vote. That’s why white feminists use black men as scapegoats to get their point across if they feel like the system of white supremacy do them wrong.

    1. Tiger Tiger ,It was his press secretary you can bet on it Kallie Machen Alley and his other idiot that has his campaign manager! Those that are war hungry and want to be at the dictator side! They were for hard and they will fall fast!

    1. @Hawkzblade A modern day coup in the USA will send a disastrous message to the global geopolitics and economy stability which is worse than what’s unfolding this last week. That’s on top of the virus that has destroyed basically the entire world’s stability. I surely hope the election will just happen one way or another, hopefully peacefully.

  6. Now that he knows what he can get away with, he will pull something like this when he loses the election!

    1. Teva Lee: He’s gotten away with too much already since 2016. This Country’s roof fell in when he got in office. Sorry to talk about our country that way, but look at it now.

  7. He loves to use the same military that he refused to join when drafted! He is a punk and a coward. A Narcissistic Sociopath!

    1. @Gentleman Of All Tradez you mean, when Ali decided to protest against being sent to a foreign country to kill people that never did anything to him, by a government that discriminated against him because he was a black man, yea, same thing… you don’t deserve a platform to present your immense ignorance.

    2. @Michael Parrott-MacLeod Its very relevant. Trump has passed many executive orders which range from passing Human Trafficking laws to promoting free speech and human rights
      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_executive_actions_by_Donald_Trump

      Hes also destroying the deep state:

      -Merged the Federal Reserve with the U S treasury. We own the Fed now pretty much.
      -Stopped funding WHO(Funded by corrupt Rothchild bankers and china).
      -Ended censorship
      -Killed CIA agent Qasem Soleimani
      -Relaxed Middle east tensions
      -Eased hostility with North Korea
      -Labeled Antifa as a Terrorist Organization(And honestly, it is)
      -Plan to replace all chinese made electrical grids with american ones
      -Pulled out all U.S troops(And equipment) from the middle east
      -Ended conflict in Afghanistan and signed a peace treaty

    1. There are demonstrations of solidarity being held in countries all around the world. The world both hears and sees you.

    2. @B Reel you must be a self proclaimed psychologist. Good for you. I know I’ll be mocked for posting this, but the good thing is that I don’t care what someone on the internet thinks!

      Psalm 33:12 ESV
      Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!

      This is why.

    1. We the People will go all in with ‘what if they had a civil war and nobody came’
      Then he gets to hear the whole world laugh at him for all time
      We win

  8. Man this is a clown show…wow…shocked. WE NEED A TRUE LEADERSHIP. BECAUSE WE DO NOT WITH TRUMP AND FOX NEWS!
