You were screaming about how blacks love Trump. I told you that the usual nutcases who vote GOP because they hate gays and abortions did.


Please leave blacks out of your Trump praises and GOP lunacy. We hate them both!

And don't chat about irrational blacks who have this unusual notion of US racism because Tim Scott the black GOP senator can describe how racism works and expressed his disappointment in how Trump praised white racists.

I didn't say that, let me try again cause you missed the bus....I said before Trump ran for President, all the blacks that dealt with him got along fine with him and said positive things in public about him from Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton and many black artists and black athletes.....the moment he ran as the Republican Candidate and went against the Democrat party then all of the sudden he became a Hitler, Nazi and a racist......the same thing they did to Romney, Mccain, W Bush, Bush Sr. and Reagan......see a pattern?

Tim Scott is clueless, he basically said to please his black base, "All Mr Trump needs is some black friends.. Right? .. Just go hang out with some and you'll be 'fixed' Mr Trump".. ....Brilliant..

Tim Scott doesn't have a black base. Try again. If he depended on black votes he would be a DEMOCRATIC senator, not one representing the GOP.

Seriously, if anyone is “On Notice” it’s Trump.

Fake News is supposed to be rampant , the only fake news I see are reports of Trumps strong base and a shot at a second term. I’m expecting the men in white scrubs will be walking him out of the White House by Christmas (ok, wishful thinking). But seriously, he’s definetly the one on notice, backroom meetings are taking place in DC discussing whether he is mentally competent enough to continue as POTUS.

Sen. Bob Corker more or less said so last weekend. He was quite clear that nearly every Republican senator (with a few exceptions) believes that Trump is demented and needs to go.

he never said anything of that kind.........this is politics......Bob Corker is for the IRAN DEAL (he was part of the making of that awful deal) and Trump isn't.
the same reason Bob Corker decided NOT to run for re-election, the people of his state don't want him back.


but if Bobbie Corker thinks Trump is "demented" he should do his duty and open impeachment hearings with evidence on the Senate floor since you say "other" Senators feel the same way.

Why aren't PR residents asking about what THEIR government is doing with that money?
I think they know, but the corruption is way too pervasive. 78 separate factions, all only interested in their own self promotion.

PR had serious financial issues long before Trump. The President is simply stating the obvious. FYI The USA is out of money, we had to borrow to help Texas. The future of PR depends on the people there and how they want to be. These islands are exposed to storms regularly.

Please don't insult us by spreading this revisionist, patently false propaganda. Trump has long been disliked by a lot of the black community, especially those of us that have paid attention to him. I've disliked him since his Apprentice days (struck me as a weak-minded blowhard) and I have family from NY and NJ that have disliked him far longer than that for his historical bigotry.

And yes, Trump has a long history of bigotry. Some examples:

"Mexicans are robbers and rapists, but I'm sure some of them are nice people." - 2016
Jumping to conclusions about the guilt of the Central Park Five and demanding they get the death penalty prior to the completion of the trial. - 1989
"There were some very fine people on both sides." - 2017
Sued by the Nixon Administration for violating the Fair Housing Act and refusing to negotiate rentals due to reasons of race. - 1973
Suggested a Native American tribe doesn't look like Indians to him. - 2015
Expressed that "laziness is a trait in blacks". - 1991
Compared Syrian refugees to snakes. - 2017
Insisted Judge Gonzalo Curiel couldn't do his job due to being a "Mexican judge". - 2016
Insisted President Obama was born in Kenya and was one of the primary pushers of the false birther movement. - 2011-2016
Declared that President Obama founded ISIS. - 2016

So please, you are within your rights to have your opinion, but please don't insult the rest of our intelligence by trying to push this drivel about "Blacks loved him before and hate him now because the Democrats told them to do so." It's intellectually lazy, false, and propagandist.

We think for ourselves, and many of us have been paying attention to Donald Trump for a very long time. We know exactly who he is and it's no surprise that he's now scapegoating Puerto Rico. He never said a word about the island's mismanagement or debt before, because he didn't care before it was politically expedient to scapegoat the island.

In my opinion, the man is trash. Luckily, we will soon be rid of this cancer.
