  1. Genuinely smart people virtually NEVER brag about how smart they are!

  2. George Conway is a good guy, notwithstanding his wife.

  3. I don’t think there are any Trump U graduates, at least, none who are willing to admit it!

  4. “Despite its name, the organization (Trump U) was not an accredited university or college. It conducted three- and five-day seminars (often called "retreats") and used high-pressure tactics to sell them to its customers. It did not confer college credit, grant degrees, or grade its students.” (Wikipedia)

  5. Calling other people stupid is one of the few tricks Trump has, so he uses it over and over! It’s simple, so it is well within his means. The funny thing is the he is of course deflecting. He KNOWS that in fact it is HE who is stupid! No intelligent, confident, self-assured man would ever depend so heavily on putting other people down!

  6. That Americans might elect a psychopath to the WH says as much about them as it does about him!

  8. It’s about time he and Kellyanne got divorced (they announced that in ‘23, but I don’t know anything else). They have been so at odds politically, one wonders how they got along at all…

  9. That’s a fact, and Trump plays his part perfectly. I predict that if Trump wins, or steals the WH in November, it will be like the screen going black… THAT will be the end of the Great American Experiment, THE END of democracy, and the beginning of a very dark period, when government goons will come to your house… and do whatever they want. In fact, a period when the government has gone haywire, and is committing all kinds of atrocities, everywhere. There will be chaos. It will be like war, and then, very likely, it will evolve into full-blown war. In any case, IF TRUMP REGAINS POWER, THAT WILL BE THE END OF AMERICA.

  10. It’s inevitable unless there is a hung jury… or if Trump’s lawyers succeed in delaying the trial a few more months… In any case, I doubt very much the American People actually want to trade one of the best, richest, freest countries in the world for HORRIBLE OPPRESSION. I believe that Trump has POISONED his candidacy. I don’t think he can possibly win, legitimately, in November. Let me say this, I will accept any election which Trump LOSES.

  11. For the sake of democracy and America, “Orange Jesus” must NOT be re-elected (he was not honestly elected EVER). We don’t want a criminal in the WH! Furthermore, we know he is guilty, as sin, of most of the crimes he is charged with, and more! I think the prosecutors could come up with 100+ legitimate additional charges! Trump is the worst criminal EVER to threaten democracy! Trump is the worst criminal to ever threaten EVERYTHING AMERICAN! He must be barred from running, but if he runs, he MUST be defeated.

  12. “The man is nuts?” Didn’t we ALWAYS know that? The single most significant thing about him is that he is a psychopath! We need to understand the implications of that. The man is IN FACT stark, raving mad! Once we accept that fact, everything else falls into place.

  13. If Trump doesn’t go to prison, NOBODY should go to prison!

  14. What is worse, he wants to be a dictator - whether we like it or not. He thinks he might be elected, but in case he is not, he is willing to pull out all the stops on a large variety of crooked, underhanded means to get over the top. WE MUST NOT LET THAT HAPPEN!

  15. Absolutely! Now her lawsuits are punitive. $100M settlements are in order, if that’s what it takes to shut him up, and if THAT doesn’t work, make it a Billion! I’d definitely like to see Donald J. Trump FLAT BROKE (and IN PRISON).

  16.  @TG-fr8gb The $83M is in escrow, at the bank. If Carroll wins the appeals, she will get paid. Not that she needs (or probably wants) that kind of money! But it’s hers to do with as she chooses. The billionaire tangled with the wrong writer! Trump should be flat broke and in prison.

  17. If Kamala is a version of Bernie Sanders, she will always get my vote!

  18. I don’t think he’s stupid (that would be a gross misunderestimation), rather, he’s stupid about most things, but survival is not one of them, though he is (probably) losing the war. I think he is very intelligent about wielding power, which is one reason he is a natural fascist and dictator…

  19. America, as they say, is “going to hell in a handbasket…” If Americans elect Trump, or if he cheats his way into the WH, THAT will be THE END. The end of American democracy, the end of the American way of life and the end of freedom, for most Americans. Trump in the WH would be a disaster of untold proportions.

  20. I think that when push comes to shove, Trump will be defeated. The problem is that in the meantime, at least 150M of us will be in a high state of anxiety, bordering on terror! What scares me is that so many Americans seem to be willing to toss away the best effort ever to make all Men (as in “Mankind”) free, an effort that has been highly successful in a large number of places, in exchange for the most oppressive political system on the planet. If Trump wins this election, and doesn’t go to prison, we will be lost..

  21. Are you kidding? Being devoted to tax cuts for the rich must be one of the most morally compromised (aka evil) positions possible.

  22.  @tiberiusgracchus7328 Fascism is radical capitalism. It is the product of relentless accruing of wealth and power, and the encouragement of greed. Capitalism denigrates all other values. Greedy elites will always strive to remake society for their own benefit, and have the power to do it. In recent years a leader has emerged… Now, it could possibly come to pass. If Americans don’t come to their senses soon, and VOTE THAT MONSTER DOWN, they will come to them in a year, when it is MUCH TOO LATE.
