Robert Berry after seeing that a man of color could be President, they just lost it and said we got to have a white man back in that White House no matter what the costs, they did not even care that this man was not the right fit for President of America and that’s a shame. They will bite off their nose to spite their face, that’s what hatred will do to you. The next president will have a lot of work and repair to do and I’m not sure if America will have the world status that it was known for.

toochainz Yes, tc -- and the orange pinhead is resposible for the upturn in the economy that began before his election. Tell me: which of Trump's policies are responsible for the improving economy, and substantiate your claim if you can? I wouldn't have thought any president could be more clueless than George W. Bush, but this nitwit has confounded my expectations. What was said of Bush is even more true of him: this is a guy who was born on third base, and thinks he hit a triple.

[@rickrose5377]

toochainz By the way, the corporate tax giveaway has not been reinvested by companies, and -- according to traditional Republican conservatives -- has ballooned the deficit in a way that will eventually bring your whole house of cards tumbling down. Your 'improving economy' is a Ponzi scheme.

He definitely not the moral compass of life? He never taken the high road and his supporters haven't either and what do you say to that? 🤔

[@Breal191]

thetvzone I never claimed to have a moral high ground. Donald Trump is not a perfect person and I know better than to try to defend him. That being said, he is the best thing that has happened to this country in a long time. Hillary Clinton is probably the most corrupt politician in history and she would have been a disaster for freedom in this country. Too bad you don’t see have you’ve been brainwashed and don’t even realize it. I once was a Democrat but one day the wool came up off my eves and I started to see clearly. Trump is doing great things for this country and you will benefit from it whether you like him or not. Had Hillary won, I think I would have felt worst than you Trump haters, but I would not have conducted myself like a spoiled, entitled, bratty, whiny little child, much less insight violence on innocent people or destroy property. You haters are all starting to sound like your leader Maxine. Keep calling people names instead of engaging in meaningful dialogue, oh that’s right, you stand for nothing truly meaningful.
