He solved inflation by firing the people who report on it.
10 years have passed, and we HAVE no medical insurance plans from the GOP...
Grateful, I cannot watch him or hear his voice without pure disgust.
The correct response to Trump is “you are a liar”
He's blatantly Insane. This is how Insane people talk. Lock him up. Lock him up,
Trump's motto is , If you can't dazzle them with your brilliance , then Baffle them with your bullshit!
War Criminals roll out the carpet for other War Criminals.
What Paramount paid is better described as a $16 million extortion, rather than a "fine."
I thought Trump made it illegal for CBS to edit interviews…. I think we need a class action suit against CBS.
1:30 Can we not call it a “fine” and call it a “bribe”, please. Because that’s what it is.
