Yeah, you keep drinking the Kool-Aid while supporting a traitor!

Is there some presumption on your part that I care one way or the other about Biden? You can't possibly stoop any lower supporting a traitor.

Trump's got problems, but I see Biden taking us down a dark, dark road. I wouldn't have chosen Trump to be the Republican nominee, but since it looks like he's going to be, I'd take him over ANY Democrat. Hear me? Any Democrat and what the Democrat party stands for.

I've got problems with Trump's handling of foreign policy as well. Namely Syria and agreeing to pull out of Afghanistan.

Trump has to get back into the White House to finish the job he started.

He is only half finished destroying the USA.

The world is rethinking it's future with Trump in the equation. Watch the vid for context.

Australia’s former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull says that former US President Donald Trump was like a 12-year-old boy in awe of his hero whenever he met Russia’s Vladamir Putin.

Speaking on Australian broadcaster ABC’s Q+A, Mr Turnbull said that Mr Trump’s possible return to the White House posed a “terrifying” threat to democracy, because of his embrace of autocratic leaders.

"He is attracted to dictators and tyrants like [North Korean leader] Kim Jong Un and [Chinese President] Xi Jinping and he threatened to undermine or pull out of America’s longest standing alliances,” Mr Turnbull said, referring to Mr Trump’s recent threat to pull out of NATO.

The former prime minister, who was in office when Donald Trump first took office in 2017, said he had not bowed to Mr Trump’s pressures to “suck up” to him, as other leaders had.

During their overlap as leaders of their respective countries, Mr Turnbull said he had seen Mr Trump with Russia’s President a few times.

"When you see Trump with Putin, as I have on a few occasions, he’s like the 12-year-old boy who goes to high school and meets the captain of the football team. My hero!” Mr Turnbull said, calling the reverence shown “creepy”. "The creepiness was palpable, everyone saw it."

"What if Donald Trump forces Ukraine to surrender to Putin? What if Donald Trump pulls out of NATO? Donald Trump has threatened to pull out of NATO,” Mr Turnbull continued.

"Donald Trump stood up in front of an audience and he said to an unnamed European leader, if you don’t spend more money on defence I’m going to encourage Putin to have a go at you. That’s more or less what he said.”

Mr Turnbull said Australia would have to get used to the idea that the United States was no longer aligned in its values as it was a few decades ago.

“The scary thing is that for countries like Australia and many European countries, we may find ourselves not dealing just with two autocracies in Russia and China, but what is Trump’s America going to look like?” Mr Turnbull said. “This is a guy leading a party that is no longer committed to democracy as we understand it.”

Yet another excellently stated perspective from someone who is in a position to know firsthand the perilous situation the world is in. Alas, it will not sway the MAGA cult members.

For me, trump's disregard and disrespect for our system of gov't is simply a non-starter. Stop. Do not pass go. Further, the foolishness of supporting or not supporting a person due to party affiliation in a day when no true platform exists makes no sense. The divisions on both sides deserve the same disloyalty that they display. I will vote for the better candidate regardless of their party.

I see that you desire the United States to be turned into an Autocracy or a Dictatorship by your support for trump.

If you truly want the United States to remain a democratic republic, then you should be voting AGAINST trump, not for trump!

Okay kraken, I'll ask you once again, why do you spew your crap in here like you are a U.S. citizen? Do you hold dual citizenship? And I love how the left put everything on Trump/Republicans of the things Biden/Dems are ACTUALLY doing.

Our system allows all to have equal opportunities to spew crap...trumpettes included. There are even some who hold citizenship that seek to undermine our form of gov't, they're called trump supporters.

In your opinion. Which (so far) is still legal in the U.S. I see Trump lives in your head rent free 24/7. Good to know.

Wow, how original and cute and this coming from one who allows Biden the same privilege, to say nothing about supporting a traitor.

Btw, I do not support either one of these dregs.

The world is rethinking it's future with Trump in ... (show quote)

My son is a director of operations at a multinational company in Europe. He told me that he has people from approx. 120 countries that report to him. When he first met these people he was faced with a very standoffish workforce he told me. As time went on and he has held small "town hall" group meetings with them, they have started to open up and asked about which US he supports. He was perplexed and then the question was finally asked of him. He was asked if he supported Trump and his vision of America or the more normal and past vision of what America stood for in the World.
These people all expressed their total disdain for Trump and how his vision has taken hold in American policies. The world sees what Trump has done to America and what his radical ideals and his affection for dictatorships have really shaken their beliefs in America as a leader of democracy. It is amazing that so many still want to give him another opportunity to shake the world view of us and to further erode our constitutional norms and the rule of law, in the name of his tribal beliefs.
