You do realize you cant just remove the President because he did something you do not like or because he criticized his Obama for something he, himself is doing. There is nothing illegal about what Trump did. Now as for comparing his golfing with Obama's. You are aware last weekend was a holiday weekend don't you or do you think he has no business taking time off? Do I like some of the things he says and does? God only knows I do not. Do I think his mouth flops way too much? I certainly do, but I also I realize there is more to running our country than saying a few things that could be better left unsaid. Your idea of removing a president for what you are saying means every president should be removed. Like other humans, they often say things that should not be said or they can be wrong from time to time. Just like you just did by bringing up "he should be removed from office" what does that have to do with what this tread and what Taylor Swift has to say about anything?

Taylor Swift is cool and not like all the other trashy celebrities.

She gets a right to speak her mind, and besides she has good emotional instincts and is very intelligent and beautiful.

And not a good entertainer, at that.
She couldn't hold a candle to the likes of Etta James, KoKo Taylor, Martina McBride, etc.
Do you say the same to Kid Rock, Ted Nuggent or Clint Eastwood? The only difference is that they are conservatives. It is funny, Conservatives, never complain about celebrities speaking out when they be the first to complain about the "liberal celebrities."

Taylor Swift is really good surprisingly even if her newer stuff (Reputation and Lover) isn't really my own cup of tea. Having worked two of her concerts, she really is a good. Granted she is far from the best, but she is a good performer.

That said, Trump should stay out. He has an economic crisis to worry about as people's initial jump into restarting the economy will wain when they see the credit card statement. Plus he is doing no favors with his own Tweets like says "When the looting starts, the shootings start." Just more race-baiting by our xenophobic president.

You give someone $300 millions and two decades, it's pretty easy to turn $300 millions into a billion. Assuming he does have a billion, which we have no way of confirming and I personally doubt.


He is also the only person who lost a fortune on casinos and NYC real estate. A person seriously has to be extraordinary bad at business to do that - because casinos and NYC real estate are almost guaranteed to make money.

Most people would blow that money on unprofitable ventures like prostitute and, well, blow. Have you never bothered to learn what happens to most people who win the lottery???


Just because someone could turn 300 million dollars into over a billion dollars doesn't mean most will, if given the chance, because that's generally not how it works out in reality (which you're mind clearly is not based in).


And it sure doesn't sound like Trump has lost a fortune, given the fact that he is a billionaire, and he has (at least) tripped his net worth over the past few decades. If that is losing, than sign me up. Most any American would agree with me, being a billionaire is not a sign of failure. But if it is, I hope I can aspire to become an even greater failure than billionaire Donald Trump.

Most people don't. I don't know where you pull that BS from.


It's pretty easy to turn $300 millions into a billion over two decades. If all a person does is put that money in an index fund, it'd be over a billion two decades later.


If a person invest in real estate at the right locations, it'd be easily over 2 billions. NYC would be one of the right locations, so it was ridiculous that he actually lost a fortune investing in NYC real estate. He is probably the only one.


Trump was on the verge of bankruptcy - he was insolvent by almost a billion. He asked Hong Kong tycoons Henry Cheng and Vincent Lo for help, and the later took over his prized assets and made huge profits - wiped out Trump's debt plus gave him a $250 million surplus. It's that $250 millions they made for Trump that allows Trump to continue his lifestyle.

And then Trump was able to lash on to the Kushner family, who partnered with Trump in the Kushner business. If you ever wonder why Trump adored Jared Kushner, it's because without the Kushner, Trump would be in big trouble.

I'm no Trump fan, but I always roll my eyes whenever some loser, creepy celebrity tries to speak like she knows something, as she sits in her gated mansion.

Bish, f off and go dance somewhere.

She's not a loser, she is a smart gal who grow up in a middle class family.

She is not like the other trashy celebrities.

The Libs are scared to death that the Blacks are now beginning to move towards the Republican party. Especially after Joe Biden's gaffe of transparency saying "if you dont vote for me you ain't Black".

This gaffe could very well become the defining moment in which political party the Black community supoorts moving forward.

I think it will be seen as the moment of truth, or an awakening, where Black say "no more" to Democrats.

Taylor Swift's comments are a manifestation of this reality, and the fear that follows. Dems cannot win elections w/o Black votes.

The racism is coming from Democrats like Joe Biden, not Republicans. Lib cities like Minneapolis allowed police officers with a prior history of abuse to continue policing resulting in Mr. Floyd's death, and subsequent riots.

Minnesota is a solid Blue State, and Minneapolis is even further left than the State as a whole. Mr. Floyd's death is the result of Liberal policies, and ineffective governing. Why did it take so long for the officer to be arrested?
