The most corrupt President in our nation's history, bar none. Shameful.

5 ( +7 / -2 )

Manipulating media coverage. 

Oh, that's rich, being as how the media ignores all the positive things that have come from the Trump presidency and continually attack him.

Trump's old ways colliding with new realities

Give me a break.

Beg to differ, not even close, but as far as our intelligence agencies and the people trying to take down this duly elected President, these people are beyond corrupt. Thank god this guy is a fighter or he would have been dust a long time ago.

Trump more unpopular than Carter.

To the haters, yes. Not to most Republicans with his 90% approval.

Good thing zichi wasn't talking about how our nation views Donny, not just how ignorant republicans view Donny or you'd have a valid point.

Telling half-truths and outright lies. Manipulating media coverage. Pushing legal boundaries. Pressuring subordinates to do the dirty work. Believing in the force of his own personality. Accepting no personal responsibility.

The author nailed that one - only ones he left out were pervert and Putin-lover...

His two divorces were marriages from which he wanted to escape. He turned the separations into tabloid gold. His early financial struggles were resolved by his father. His bankruptcies mostly impacted his lenders. He never apologizes, moves to win that day's — really, that minute's — news cycle, and trusts that his supporters will believe and follow him.

Indeed, it's not a political following, it's a cult...

That would depend on the people you’re asking, so far more than 130 million view him favorably.

not just how ignorant republicans view Donny or you'd have a valid point.

Lol and the nutjob Democrats continue to make fools of themselves, definitely a sight to behold.

But last time out the republican voters were the minority and they lost Trump the vote.

Well, now the Dems are pushing voters closer to him, so if you’re looking at the money the GOP is raising, especially the last quarter $124 million and 48 hours after Nancy started to launch the Impeachment hoax the man raised $15 million, so that’s a clear sign support has picked up, numbers still the same, so those are all pluses as he gears up to take the Democrats on.

Those numbers have again decreased since Trump took office so next time the voter numbers will be down by more than 5 million.

Even the devil is popular with his believers but it don't make him good or right.

Which the numbers ticked up again, the Democrats keep on trying as you’d expect they would to spell doom and gloom and it’s not working this time...well, anytime it’s never worked.

This sounds dodgy. Where are you getting that figure from?

So 63 million voted for Trump in 2016 but now the figure doubles to 130 million. White rabbits out of a hat.

White Russians out of Moscow...along with a few extra white supremacists....

Not nearly as dodgy as what the Democrats are trying to do to this President.

New poll shows 20-point increase in support for Impeachment Inquiry among the republicans. 58% of the country saying now supports the impeachment enquiry and 49% support removing Trump from office.

Ahh, the old liberal polls again, like with impeachment and the other crap that liberals want to masses to think supports them? Ok. Lol

49%? Oh, well, that’s just like with the Mueller hoax, then we’re in good territory, not that big of a change, so literally the same numbers, if you choose to believe them.

No, but a lot of that support has grown exceptionally.

in the hour before second general election debate with Hillary Clinton, he held a surprise news conference in St. Louis with women who accused former President Bill Clinton of sexual impropriety. It was a jaw-dropping moment in a campaign full of them.

The look on Bill's face when Trump brought the women to that debate was priceless.

The Democrat Party's motto is "Show me the man and I will show you the crime."

But Trump releasing the phone call transcript foiled the Democrats' plans, hehe.

The only question that any American should be allowed to get an answer is if any wrongdoing has been committed by Trump. Nothing to do with Right or Left.

Subsidiary question is if Trump can be impeached by threatening whistleblowers following the due reporting process?

Trumpers still living in 2016 - yet the Clinton's still haunt their brains three years later....sweet revenge...

Uh-uh; Manafort, Gates, Flynn, Papadaplous, Cohen, Assange, et al....

Dear Donnie and your genius lawyer - thank you for providing the smoking gun....hehe...

Like liberals and their Trump obsessions. Lol

Uh-uh; Manafort, Gates, Flynn, Papadaplous, Cohen, Assange, et al....

Presidential pardons abound.

And then Mitch acquits and then life will turn back to normal.

Pardons don't make then innocent and Trump can't pardon himself so he'll end in jail without any friends.

Trump has as much of a chance going to jail as Hillary.

The Crook in Chief.

In many ways, Trump has lived a life free of consequences.

His two divorces were marriages from which he wanted to escape. He turned the separations into tabloid gold. His early financial struggles were resolved by his father. His bankruptcies mostly impacted his lenders. He never apologizes, moves to win that day's — really, that minute's — news cycle, and trusts that his supporters will believe and follow him.

What a loser.
