  • He has made lying look normal, fair & acceptable. That Martin Luther King Jr. comparison to the crowd was wild. Wow!!! My first-year undergrad students struggled to understand how such a man is at the helm of a party that prides itself on strong biblical values & integrity.

    There was a time when I could not ever have imagined that I'd be thinking of John Bolton as the "adult " in the room. The bar of minimal competence and character for all public offices has been lowered to a level of complete absurdity by an utterly pathological narcissistic and increasingly delusional old con man.
  • The fact that we're now seeing John Bolton as the voice of reason is absolutely mind boggling.
  • @johnnicholas1488
    The New York Ciminal Court should sentence Trump to prison and suspend the sentence untill 5 minutes after the last poll is closed. This might effectively put a wrench in his second insurrection plans.

    Anybody with fraudulent business practices who was banned from running businesses, Universities and charities should not be considered to lead our country. Not to mention 34 felony convictions.
  • Regarding the statement that he makes starting at 2:16, it's clear that he doesn't know the difference between the events of the 2020 primary and the 2024 primary. He reminds me of my great-grandmother who once when I was maybe 8 years old called me by every one of my cousins' names before she finally got to mine, confusing me with people some of whom were 20 years older than me. His mind is gone. Every day is just one long senior moment for him. There's no way this guy can be allowed to be president.
  • Yet we can't forget what Jim Comey did to HRC just days away from voting.
  • @BobFJ
    Freedom of Speech should not mean freedom to lie. Defamation laws are there for a reason.
  • I think Trump can tell the difference between falsehoods and truth he just chooses not to. He is expedient with facts. Whatever works in the moment is the truth.
  • @masterluke3407
    Can Trump go more than 60 seconds without insulting someone?
  • I wish the media would start doing what a number of former Trump supporters are doing! They’re NOT going to his rallies. Reporters wake up! Stop covering him every time he blows his nose! YOU are losing viewers!!!

    As an eropean I hate cleaners at the hospital who lie and say that they are chief physicians to impress in their private lives. Hi Walz....
  • Kaitlyn, you are forever unforgiven for your unmitigated failure at the town hall. Resign.

    Truth > Lies Facts > Opinions Reality > Conspiracies Democracy > Dictatorship
  • I think that for Donald Trump true or false is not something he considers, his 'gift' is being able to quickly assess what is in his own best interests . Very similar to Boris Johnson, another massive narcissist. Boris Johnson was known for always telling the lie that was best for him.
  • He can tell. What he says is always a lie and is always fact checked for anyone to see. It's that easy.
