Respect is a two way street
"Respect"? Trump can't even spell that big word!
Unfortunately, Trump is below learning, which he has always been. Even former teachers said that he was the dumbest student they had ever encountered. The very prestigious USC Film School rejected him, despite the money his dad offered. His statement about reducing something by hundreds of %, shows that he is totally lost even in basic math.
The best I can say about Trump, is that he has no idea what he is doing. The worst I can say, is that he knows exactly what he is doing, which is scary, to say the least.
Jorg - Now is your chance to be rid of Trump in your life!! He is offering a "exit bonus" or "stipend" of $3000 to self deport. You can apply online. Adios!
As if anywhere in the world you’d get rid of Trump?! He’s a threat wherever you may be. Besides, no money can make me move anywhere, - I’m quite happy, exactly where I am! But thanks for your nice suggestion, though!
Good one, Lou! Unfortunately for Jorg, we know Trump lives rent-free in his head and so there’s no amount of money or distance that will allow Jorg to escape from Trump Making America Great Again, Again. Not only that, Jorg would never purposefully leave the US, even to return to his homeland, because Jorg knows which side his bread is buttered on. Another country may not allow the freedom of speech Jorg enjoys, no matter how silly. Hey Jorg, a belated Merry Christmas. I'm glad that even though you don’t celebrate, you shared time with our (yes, our) great President Trump in your head.
I have noticed (and is why I watch less) that the reporters and anchors try to curate a particular answer and set a time line to imply success or failure. No one wins when we create self imposed criteria and deadlines to define success regardless of who is in elected office.
We have three more years with President Trump, so I want him to succeed. I am not praying for failure.
"Succeed" in WHAT? Destroying everything in sight? Or grasping everything for himself?
NO ONE has done more to SECURE THE BORDER than President Trump, and he did it in LESS THAN A YEAR!
We can’t think of a better way to end 2025 than saying THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP!
For securing our border, enforcing our laws, deporting criminal illegals, and PUTTING AMERICA FIRST.
THE NIGHT TRUMP SAVED CHRISTMAS -----https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CT_O2X7CEeo
Look Danielle - we put up with 4 years of lies and fake news while Biden was the puppet in the White House. All of these years we never heard the truth, all reporters were carefully screened before they could enter the Press Room, Biden's team selected the most awful and unqualified Press Secretary ever, and we were supposed to be satisfied with his DEI filled cabinet? I can tell that you are the come-along, go-along type but 84 million voters had a different opinion. Talking about respect, perhaps you need to respect the will of the majority voters, not the playbook that the Dems provide.
Trump is not tactful but he has a point about media bias which i think results from pack journalism. Just study the use of "choice."
Look at all these little "piggies" and "stupidest people on earth" here supporting the Felon and his disgusting comments. And if they take offense at this characterization, it only proves what hypocrites they are. Respect for me, but not for thee!
Hey SMpool, I am thrilled to be called a little piggie and stupid by you and assumably by your cohorts. As if you have anything to base your vapid opinions on?? Please take the time to study some of our comments and it will come as a surprise to you that, unlike the group thinkers and media slaves under Biden, we do criticize some of the positions and comments that we get from Trump. I believe that many of us are far more educated and at least much wiser than you will ever be. BTW, the "Little Piggies" are derived from a Beatles song that nails the grifters and frauds now being exposed in California and Minnesota. Ironically, perpetrated by your ilk.
Here we go again… SMpool projecting her shortcomings to others, although perhaps she’s forgotten that treasonous Obama and treasonous Biden are no longer in office. And speaking of hypocrisy, I’d like to remind folks that SMpool has said she takes pride in the progress made in women’s and civil rights yet she’s never answered why it’s okay for biological men claiming they’re women to compete, steal medals, and in some instances injure biological women. Or why it’s okay for men to use women’s locker rooms (a la Planet Fitness). Or whether it would be okay for men claiming to be women advertise as woman-owned businesses. Hey SMpool, a belated Merry Christmas to you since you were able to (like my friend Jorg) share it in your head with our (yes, our) great President Trump.
The problem is most people in the media are Democrats which has a bias on news reporting.
Letters to the Editor like this give me total conviction that President Trump has (temporarily) saved the country from rule by lunatics.
