Hey, Chris here – who do you think will be the next Republican nominee for President?
Trump’s next job will be another ridiculous FOX “news” talking head starting in February.
Lindsey Graham
@Mike Hall You might want to think about buying up some Kleenex when trumpy loses in another 120 days. Just saying. 😁🇺🇸
Go home now you
@Patrick Enright you are the by far the fool sir….when have you heard the clown ever speak with anything but his @$$ on his face..oh let me not say that because he speaks loud and clear to you…smh…
Nobody. He is bankrupt.
@Dale Hartley What are you talking about?
@Dale Hartley False if that were the case Mueller would have proved it and he couldn’t for over 2 fucking years! He had all this time and there were no connections. The buildings are still standing because of a successful surplus rebound affect within the free market economy. Many companies filed for bankruptcy during 2008 recession. Sources please prove your point. Seriously it’s a hoax because real corruption is else where but your ignoring it. No one of guys can prove Russian Collusion. There is no evidence , it’s a scam! The connections weren’t you all are making this up or listening to someone making up a fake darce against Trump wow.
MORALLY bankrupt.
@Jacob Calham Im sorry was I addressing the whole of the country, when I responded to Russian Trollies….does me saying that offend you because you know them personally?
@Art Work Perhaps you are ignorant of the fact that Mueller followed the DOJ guidelines that prohibit a sitting president being indicted. He said that over and over, and that trump was NOT innocent. He made that point abundantly clear.

Many developers pay Donald Trump to market their properties and be the public face for their projects. For that reason, Trump does not own many of the buildings that display his name.

I think you better rethink your OPINION about trump properties.
No one. They are all going to prison when Trump’s executive privilege expires.
@American Patriot that’ll be dumb. Military will side with the law. They are siding with the law by letting Trump $h!+ on them. The military has NEVER been this mad at a president before. Bounties, leaving allies on the battlefield, shorting benefits for covid response Guard, and much more.
@SouthSide Chicago “Strengthening his base” would mean more people are voting for him, or fewer people are voting for his opponent, neither of which is happening.
@David Brown LMAO ty for once again proving how dumb you liberals really are. that will go down as one of the most ignorant comments of the year. Well done sheep!
@Bill Bear Maybe you think hanging is ‘fine’ because Obama is a black man. @Bill Bear is a Trump Supporter who doesn’t recognise their attempt at humour is still racist.
Vince Diesel Economy what economy it tanked because of the virus. Unemployment is at it highest since the depression. No countries are paying the US, if you are talking about the tariff. Tariffs increase the prices of imported goods. … Because the price has increased, more domestic companies are willing to produce the good, so Qd moves right. This also shifts Qw left. The overall effect is a reduction in imports, increased domestic production, and higher consumer prices. Nov 21, 2019. As for the borders do you actually know how much money it has costs the US people $21.6 billion and that’s a major understatement? Trump “Mexico will pay for the wall”, right! Right now the only borders that are being kept closed is the Canadian and European borders, to keep Americans out of their countries! Trumps whole presidency has been a joke on us the American people.
Let’s hope it’s neither of them…

Destined for prison more likely.

@William H Willy, I haven’t seen you for a couple days…take some time off? I wonder if wherever it is that you are from even knows what Pro-US values are….they start with freedom, liberty, and happiness….and also do not include your sexual preferences…the SCOTUS just reconfirmed that in June there buddy…you are riding a dead horse.
@William H Bookmarked. See you back here Nov 4.
@William H AGREED!!!
@Painkiller Jones lol
AND if u think that Donnie Tea-Rump knows the definition of the word “sophomoric”, then YOU don’t know TRUMPIAN.

@Jacob Calham yup, heck, ole Joe could address the nation in his tighty whities, singing “old grandma ain’t what she use to be” and STILL he would be a vast improvement over the orange incompetent turd.
@Logic B4Religion 🤣🤣😂 keep playing he just might do it
@Logic B4Religion Biden would be squashed in an on stage debate against Trump.
@pneumatictrousers You’re right, Trump is really fat, but he doesn’t move quick enough to sit on him.
Nobody. All his heirs will be in prison
@Tyler Micha lol, and when is Jade Helm going down?
No. You’re talking about House Democrats.
Checkmate!
@Tyler Micha Not going to happen, not going to worry about trumps fantasies.
Donald Trump Jr will succeed him by the Grace of God, amen! #DonaldTrump2024
How long till Trump asks to see Kanye’s birth certificate?
@From the 508 Brockton ma Stop wasting your time. They will not watch it purposely so they can still feel entitled to spit BS…That’s how their mind works.
@From the 508 Brockton ma America would never make the same mistake twice electing Obama especially being a colored man. Nice try though!!
@BLM is a communist terror organization No, it’s cos they are brainless and can’t think of anything good that Dump has done, so they clutch at imaginary straws 😂🤣😂🙈🙉🙊
@From the 508 Brockton ma You have yet to provide ANY evidence.
That video from his grandmother did NOT say that…so you either need your meds, or you are trying to be insistent thinking that saying it long enough will make people believe it….
Nope…no one believing it.
@From the 508 Brockton ma O and as for being from Brockton….it is not prove enough comrade….it is NOT proof of Anything. I am also the King of Siam…..there Now you have to take my word that I am the king AND that I have access to more information then you….pfft
Not proof of crap, just an anonymous rus trollie trying to divide.
Don’t you mean ‘Who will be Trump’s political Derriere?” 🤣🤣🤣

Well spoken!
Any used tampon could do a better job than Trump.
@Nautica Gibson Butt hurt much? Not my fault you voted for a draft dodging racist.
@Nautica Gibson WOW! youve learned well from trump! By the way, change your name…naughty crap!
so lets sell out the country to russia and china like clinton obama and biden sounds like a great plan . highest GDP in our history, lowest unemployment for all races in our history.also he refused to bail out big corps. unless we got a bailout also. give your check back if you hate him so much. you dont have to like him personally to see he has done more for you then any other president. lets close our bases like clinton lets rack up 14 trillion in debt due to bad trade deals and bail outs for banks and give our uranium to russia like obama biden. lets pay millions to terrorists to return our troops and cry on national tv showing weakness .(
@Todd’s Tropicals
#LMAO smh, You’re a flop!
🤸
🕳
@Anon Mist
WOW! youve learned nothing from life! By the way, change your name to *ANAL MIST!*
The answer is COVID-19, COVID-19 will be the political heir of Trump. Trump loves COVID-19.
‘The CHINA FLU is tree-mend-us. No one has ever seen numbers like these numbers. I ask some of my guys…great thinkers…I ask ‘have you ever seen numbers like this?.. and they all say Yes Mr. President. No question… The numbers…and I mean BIG BIG numbers…like ones no one has ever seen before.’
@O’Brien’s Family Dog that was spot on 🤣🤣 Trump, reading it was comedic genius. You’re a smart dog the O’Briens’ should be proud
I think COVID19 and being impeached will be his crap “legacy”
Rozaliya Olenyeva Covid-2021.
@MARSHAL BAEK Yes, the TrumpVirus and his impeachment stand out, but his other keystone accomplishments like destroying the economy, the 20,000+ lies, and his open embrace of all things racist, shall not soon be forgotten either.
His prison roommate inherits the toilet paper and gum.
What a dumb question!
Rofl!! 👍😂
None, lets hope None. That family has done enough damage to his nation and the world in general.
Whose nation???
This country America does not belong to donald dump or his kids or putin.
It belongs to the American citizens.
You’re confused. We’re not talking about the clintons.
Painkiller Jones you’re right we’re not talking about the Clintons. We’re talking about the trumps
Ohh PAAH-LEEEEZE – – NONE of the above !!! I’d LOVE it to be like the Dallas TV program and Bobby Ewing – – we wake up on November 4th and find out that it’s been a 4-year-long really bad dream ???
Trump being a failed president, is his heir’s goal to fail harder?
@Kelly Cox if you actually believe those numbers you are a fool
@Bunker Boy worst covid response in the world? Who told you that? He banned Chinese from infecting us back in January. Your hero called him a racist for it 🤣 What a bunch of fools. Grow up
@Anti Pauler your mom failed you

*“Voting is the best revenge” – Barack Obama*
@Because of reasons lol The same political party which praises Margaret Sanger is the same political party who’s members masturbate to *_Desmond is amazing_* and *_Drag queen story hour_*
Republican and Democrats are 2 faces of the same coin
Is there any democracy on Earth with only 2 political parties????
@John O yes yes yes!
2016 was the best revenge. 2020 is going to be ever better though.
Revenge? For what?
Remember when world leaders ignored Ivanka, like she was a broken Siri
She got the last laugh in that exchange!
Donald Trump Jr will succeed him by the Grace of God, amen! #DonaldTrump2024
Ah … good times.
None of them: once the scandals fully emerge, the Trump name will be as toxic as Nixon.
The Republicans will have to rebuild from zero to get rid of the stench.
I second that, joe.
Exactly. He’s far worse than Nixon.
he will be the last president your next leader will be dictator ushering in communism
@Nancy M Ross lol highest GDP in history lowest unemployment in history..refusing to bail out big biz. unless the people get bailed out also. the democratic run states have crushed the economy causing starvation evictions suicide creating far more deaths labeled as covid. masks do not stop mother nature nor lockdowns. what they do is strip you of you rights and once you travel down this road the rest of your rights will follow. the next leader will be a dictator like cnn/msm so badly wants.prolonging natural selection allows the flu to mutate making it far worse. if you worked with flu viruses you would die n95 seconds. so mandatory sealed body suits for all.right ?did it stop the flu? hey a tornado is coming hide in the cellar. did that stop mother nature?why does a computer geek own patents on viruses and vaccines that cause sterility.? oh thats right his zero theorem on depopulation. who has paid fauci over a 100 million dollars.
@Kelly Cox nixon tried to rig the election just like hillary she didnt delete those emails for nothing. ignorance of the law is no excuse but it worked for her.the russian collusion was in those emails and putin has the info showing the dnc used russian servers but is kept secret because it would cause a huge loss of faith in government other then disliking him and state reps not taking responsibility for themselves what of the handling of trying to crush the economy and playing the blame game explain how he is worse? .. highest GDP in history lowest unemployment in history refusing to bail out big corps unless we get bailed out. far worse right. the flu is seasonal and is nature way of thinning the herd survival of the fittest .mask do not stop mother nature just prolong it til it mutates and kills more. guess you like starvation evictions suicides and your rights removed. crap its raining here let get my umbrella that will stop this storm.wait a tornado let me hide in the cellar that will stop it.
Literally only JUST considered that he’s allowed to run again if he looses this time… I’m freakin exhausted….
did not know that..ugh
Hopefully he won’t live that long
The adderol will have taken it’s toll by then.
This dude needs to get off coffee and/or the drug SPEED.
Donald Trump Jr will succeed him by the Grace of God, amen! #DonaldTrump2024
