It appears that it's not going to be substantiated, because it is false.
Hitler never talked about burning people in ovens when he was rising to power but the orange man is indeed following his play book.

Er, right.

Foreign banks like to lose money, but American banks don't.

Is that what you're saying?

So Trump is setting up concentration camps, and has a paramilitary force of over a million armed men beating his political opponents in the streets...?

I'm not seeing a lot of the "connections" that you're trying to make.

In the end, Trump's own party will turn on him. He's already damaging their brand and they've never been comfortable with him to begin with. It's only a matter of when; not if.

Once the Republicans realize that he is dragging them all down, they will find a way to blame a bunch of their B.S. on Trump and grease the skids. He will retire to spend more time with his family (hasn't seen Baron since the inauguration) and his business interests.

I doubt the rubes will turn on Trump. They insist that if we had only given him a little more time, he would have made good on his promises. They will claim "We wuz robbed," for years.

I'm not surprised.

Seriously every action he takes shows how much he truly loathes our country. Maybe he thought this was going to be like buying an existing company and changing it to fit his "brand"? That could just decide what parts were disposable? Nope, sorry Donald. We love America too much to let you ruin it.
What a ridiculous comment. TDS in full display here.

Wasn't Obama the one who wanted to "fundamentally change the United States"?.....and boy, did he. And not for the better.

I hope you aren't speaking for all the ones who love America so much they are burning the American flag at their protests.

Andrew Sullivan...lol...He's about as objective as Bill Mahr. Word has it that Sullivan, Mahr and Rachel Maddow engage in a weekly circle jerk...

Say what you want, but king Donald did in 21 days what the other bozos couldn't do in 21 years...illegals bye bye!

Yes they did. So they did. Trump is not King. He has to follow laws just like everyone else.

Then show us facts that prove that these immigrants were a terrorist threat to us. Because I have shown that they are not. Not a single American has lost their lives to these refugees with the current vetting procedures in place between 1975 and 2015.

As for the idea that Donald was the lesser of two evils, I don't understand why anyone truly believed that. He has no experience in government, politics, or law, nor any education in it and his actions have made that lack of comprehension abundantly obvious. Also, his arrogance and ego makes Kanye West look humble, and his lack of understanding about the huge differences of government sector and private sector employment has led to a series of gigantic missteps, mistakes that will be hard to recover from. I get it; America has problems, which was why many people voted for such a completely different candidate as he. But he is certainly not our Messiah, and we'll be lucky if we come out of his administration unscathed.
