  1. “ No more Mr. Nice Guy “ really means : “ Forget the nonsense Human Decencies and let’s win the election whatever it takes!”

  2. “You know what the crime is. The crime is very obvious to everybody.” Really??? The only crime I see that’s obvious is that we have put a full-blown raging psychotic into the Office of the Presidency.

    1. @Jesse James whats your point? A crime was still committed whether or not he should have been general!

    2. @WynMills1 they didn’t investigate the incident, they investigated the trump campaign. There was probable cause to investigate the fact that russia hacked the conventions but not that trump told them to do it. There is even reason to believe that russia wanted Hillary to win

    1. Sorry low info. This came out because Progressive news made it their job to unveil you selfish, moronic Dem neolib centrists. Deal with it.

    2. @Alexa M Unveiling and unmasking. So much transparency from the current Administration. And still he hasn’t released any taxes. Promises made, promises broken.

    3. Fndr R Like Has Obama 57% of the true Americans is tired of Trumps incompetence he’s unfit for office and the whole world knows it all including you people

  3. If I had a dollar for every time Trump tried to blame or accuse Obama for his faults, I’d be a millionaire.

    1. For a 6 week period starting around the end of March trump congratulated himself over 600 times and blamed others over 100 times. In the last week it’s been nothing but his fake Obamagate mantra. trump needs to be removed permanently. His hateful lies and disinformation is worse than the virus.

    2. But y’all blame Obama for the booming economy lmao. So I guess the good things you can blame obama, just not the mess he left behind. How to be a democrat 101

    1. I Blame The Old Losers Mueller, Hiding All The Evidences Cause Of Payoffs, I Heard He Got 4 Millions

  4. “Obamagate, it’s terrible, never should’ve happened, you know what’s going on, I can’t tell you it’s a secret!”

  5. Trump and his boy mitch Lindsey and the rest of Republicans who support him need to be gone asap they are destroying America.

    1. @T M Please explain how the Democrat’s have destroyed America? I’ll wait. Oh and it wasn’t Democrat’s who killed 90,000 American’s, Trump’s incompetence did.

  6. Now Obama definitely living rent free in Trump’s head!!! LMAO. Seriously, grasping at straws !!!!!!!!!!

  7. “What crimes were they”
    “Word salad”
    *gets mad at the reporter because he can’t accurately report the nonsense the president is saying*
    He literally asked what he did and all he said was we know. if we know, you can remind me. How can they be honest about something with no details or evidence?

    1. The point is that the message wasn’t for ‘us’ the people who can obviously tell he’s trying to manipulate. It’s for people who already believe the Democrats are up to no good. It just seems like a really badly written plot for a really bad film. Like it would get 3/10 stars on IMDB because the plot makes no sense and no one would actually vote for that guy again or believe in that bit where he convinced the public of Obamagate…
      Also that’s fake news, Trump would never talk in word salad, he always takes that out of the burger before eating

    2. It’s all about distraction. Let’s talk about this made up rumor I started, so the news stops talking about what a bad leader I’ve been during this pandemic. That’s all this is.

  8. “Mr president can you tell me exactly what crime you’re accusing obama of”

    Trump: obamagate!!!

    1. @Jesse James it sure doesn’t but u have to see both sides of the story. There is a left and a right??

    1. @T M Do you know why he got fired??? Do you know why Trump fires anybody. I mean literally Trump Supporters will be in history books as the most dumbest people ever. Hilarious!! Wake up🍊🍊🍊

    2. Yes Wonder Who Hides Dr Bright E-mails, Trump Cannot Stands Anyone That Smarter Then Him. The Bully Getting Outs Soon

    3. Think4 Once Let’s see if Obama can take a little what he dish’s out.This is not a one sided deal.

    4. Think4 Once You realize the media hates trump, the media makes him so much worse than he is. He ain’t perfect, I understand that, but the media hates him. Take it all with a grain of salt, the media is liberal so they will force those agendas.

    1. to be honest, trump perfoamcence on economy is beyond every previous president….. how is stupid ??? we know youngster love meme and make trump silly, but he is doing real business, like businessman, scienctist, and if you dunt understand trump, get more education before going to web, too native and too immature –> Jamise

    2. Yes, and dear God can we please make to November so we can vote him out by voting Biden in!

    3. @asd ajsh yeah, right…that’s hilarious! He’s doing business for himself. He’s trying to gain what he perceives as prestige and he turned on US. He left US sitting like sitting ducks in the face of a covid-19 pandemic. No one news media outlet had to tell me this. I saw it happen for myself as I watched numerous news outlets, even Fox!

  9. “A slogan in search of a scandal.”

    Exactly! That’s what most of his claims are. More chants for his rallies. But appreciate this summary,. We’ll see if Trump ever comes out to tell us HIS definition of what “#OBAMAGATE!” is.

  10. ‘but be careful what you wish for…’
    That had an interesting ring to it. Seems Trump has more to worry about than Obama ever would.

    1. He even borrowed that quote, most recently from Lindsey Graham, who seriously suggested he step back from this ‘idea.’ Bound and determined to stir up ‘STUPIDGGATE’ though; that would make this his latest ‘triple bogey.’ (So much for inherited intelligence)

    1. Fran Harkins Trump made up a bogus conspiracy theory just to confuse everyone. He is making up fake news.

  11. “If Trump wins in November, will he blame everything on the first Trump administration?”

    1. Yet no Democrats have come up with any plan other than keeping the economy closed and making you all stay home LMAO

    2. @T M Yes cause the level of stupidity by trumpidiots is DANGEROUS!! LMAO . It’s not the virus it’s the lack of comprehension. Democrats said stay home. lmao

    3. He hasn’t mishandled it. The media just hates trump, the media is all liberal, they force their agenda on everyone. And people believe it. There is NOTHING talking about why Obama is in the wrong. Take it all with a grain of salt.

    4. @Think4 Once You’re lucky Republicans are running the show. We are going to be Venezuela with Democrats.

  12. “You know what’s going on, it’s very obvious to everybody.”

    The emperor has no clothes.

    1. Trump is hilarious. Looking for someone to look worse than he is and blabber tubbish isnot going to save his assnow for all the lives that have been lost through his ignorance This man is taking something and fantisizing

    2. You’ve got to give it to Trump though, he really knows how to deflect from his fk up of the ongoing health issues!!

    3. Is DJT building another “gate”, his own TrumpGate?? The lies, misspeaks, outrageous phrases, names, statements maligning others especially if they’re not saying what he wants or needs to promote his possible troubled re-election woes. Just keeps piling it on, “open mouth – change feet ” or is it both feet now? Hoof & mouth disease is what an old neighbor called it when kids tried .

  13. “If there’s a sharper critique of America’s failed education system than the breathless, mindless Trump voter, I can’t name it.”― Rick Wilson
