Laugh or Cry…Your comments are utterly partisan, shallow, void of facts, blatant lies, and ignorant and nothing more than paid for narrative to support Democratic agenda.Obviously you don’t like President Donald Trump; just because he is not a career politician and because he is fighting, every day, the Democratic agenda of Socialism, Communism, Liberalism and draining the swamp of corrupt Democracy as propagated by Obama, Biden and Hillary Clinton.Question is stupid… but if you insist, the answer is: “ Donald Trump is a very strong minded man and is very effective as the President of the United States. United States is a Constitutional Republic and Trump is trying hard to keep it that way. He is fighting the battle to keep America Great, and fights everyday the weak minded lying cheating deceitful corrupt Democrats who are pushing their liberal, socialist and communist agenda.NO… no one is laughing at Donald Trump. On the contrary, the politicians in other countries are emulating what Trump does to make their own country a better place for its citizens. If every country took care of its citizens, the world would be a better place for everyone, don’t you think?Trump will be the President of United States for another 5/6 years… deal with it. He will change the American political landscape for ever… just watch it unfold.Trump is bold, brave and fearless… and is multiprocessing to do things that will restore American power (both military and financial) in the world. He is doing things that no other POTUS ever dare think of enacting over the last fifty years.It is sad and hilarious at the same time that timid, shallow and unimaginative people like you are more focused on Trump’s spelling skills and nitpicking on everything he says or does on a daily basis.Trump is changing the geopolitical landscape of the United States and its role as the most powerful nation in the world community… while taking care of it’s citizens first.Having said that; I suggest you read my comments above, item by item, as my response to your comments to expose the shallowness, the lies, doctored facts and fabrications in your comments blowing hot air up Obama stack.When I’m done, you probably blow up like an inflated egotistical balloon.Since Donald Trump announced he was running for president, he has been sliced, diced and scrutinized every which way by Trump haters, feeble supporters, corrupt politicians, fake and biased media and the lying cheating corrupt DemoRats propagating their socialist, liberal and communist agenda.I have followed Trump for over 30 years and here’s my list… take a look, and you decide for yourself:ACTS of Kindness· Trump gave sanctuary to Grammy Award winning singer Jennifer Hudson after three of her family members were murdered.· When airlines wouldn’t help to accommodate a boy who had serious medical issues, so Trump offered his jet to help.· Trump helped save a family’s working farm that was going into foreclosure.· After Sergeant Andrew Tahmooressi was released from Mexican prison, Trump sent him a check for twenty five thousand dollars to help get him on his feet.· Trump sent ten thousand dollars to Darnell Barton (a bus driver) for his humanitarian act, where he stopped the bus and reached out to help a woman to prevent an attempted suicide.After Trump became the President of the United States, his “altruistic” acts have become bigger (affecting hundreds of millions) and better (sustainable and with lasting impact).Here is an old list of what he has done for you, for me, for millions of Americans and for the human race:Trump Compelled Many Talented and Extraordinary People to Run for his AdministrationEconomic Growth· 4.2 percent growth in the second quarter of 2018.·For the first time in more than a decade, growth is projected to exceed 3 percent over the calendar year.Jobs· Currently, there are 7.14 million job openings, the most ever in our history.

Thousands of people go to Trump rallies and speeches because these gatherings are informative, inspiring and entertaining.Trump is a very strong minded man and is very effective as the President of the United States. United States is a Constitutional Republic and Trump is trying hard to keep it that way. He is fighting the battle to keep America Great, and fights everyday the weak minded lying cheating deceitful corrupt Democrats who are pushing their liberal, socialist and communist agenda.No… no one is laughing at Donald Trump. On the contrary, the politicians in other countries are emulating what Trump does to make their own country a better place for its citizens. If every country took care of its citizens, the world would be a better place for everyone, don’t you think?He will change the American political landscape for ever… just watch it unfold.Trump is bold, brave and fearless… and is multiprocessing to do things that will restore American power (both military and financial) in the world. He is doing things that no other POTUS ever dare think of enacting over the last fifty years.It is sad and hilarious at the same time that timid, shallow and unimaginative people are more focused on Trump’s spelling skills and speech patterns and nitpicking on everything he says or does on a daily basis.Trump is changing the geopolitical landscape of the United States and its role as the most powerful nation in the world community… while taking care of it’s citizens first.
