  1. *11. In 2018, Trump signed the First Step Act into law, which helps prisoners transition from prison to society through halfway homes, offers time off sentences for vocational achievements, and reduces the tendency of convicted criminals to commit crimes again.
    *12. This law was signed in May 2018 to allow patients with life-threatening conditions or diseases to try experimental treatments when other treatments have failed them.

  2. *13. In June 2018, Trump and Kim Jong-un pledged to pursue lasting peace and complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. Trump then became the first sitting U.S. president to set foot in North Korea in June 2019 to talk further about nuclear negotiations. While a deal is still underway, the two remain on great terms.
    *14. In his first year in office alone, Trump’s administration reduced high-dose opioid prescriptions by 16 percent. He has also secured $6 billion in new funding to fight and control the epidemic.

  3. Democrats are a disgrace to the USA shame on them just because they don’t like our Great President who is doing just what he said he would do for the American people

  4. The Clintons, Obama, Schumer and Pelosi are the best examples why the people don’t trust the Government any more. Former Senator Coborn says it best. Good to listen to someone with some common sense.

  5. 1. Since Trump was elected, his administration has created nearly four million jobs! More Americans are now employed more than ever in history, and just this year, the overall unemployment rate hit the lowest ever recorded in nearly 50 years.

  6. 2. The typical American worker’s pay is growing now more than ever since before the Great Recession and so is consumer and business confidence.

  7. 3. During his campaign, Trump promised that he would donate his presidential salary and he’s kept that promise! Since becoming our president, he’s donated his entire paycheck to numerous places, including the National Park Service, the U.S. Education Department, the Transportation Department, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of Veterans Affairs.

  8. 4. Trump signed the biggest package of tax cuts in history, pouring more than $300 billion back into our country in one quarter alone.
    5. Build the wall! Trump is doing everything in his power to ensure Americans are kept safe and sound. Legal proceedings are still occurring, but thanks to Trump’s resilience, $2.5 billion in funds has been approved to construct it.

  9. 6. Trump pledged to completely wipe out HIV and AIDS in the next 10 years if he’s elected a second term!
    7. Donald Trump secured the release of 19 people, including 16 Americans, from foreign captivity. They were being held in Turkey, North Korea, Egypt, China, Portugal, Venezuela, and by the Taliban. In fact, Trump freed more people in two years than Obama did in eight and he even did it without releasing terrorist leaders.

  10. 8. Thanks to Trump, there is now a ban on bump stocks, an accessory that enables semi-automatic rifles to mimic automatic ones. He’s not trying to take away anyone’s right to own guns!

  11. 10. Many argue that pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord was a bad move, but they’re ignorant to the positive effects. The Paris Agreement was costly and would end up destroying hundreds of thousands of jobs, harm American manufacturing, and waste taxpayer money.

  12. 11. In 2018, Trump signed the First Step Act into law, which helps prisoners transition from prison to society through halfway homes, offers time off sentences for vocational achievements, and reduces the tendency of convicted criminals to commit crimes again.

  13. 12. This law was signed in May 2018 to allow patients with life-threatening conditions or diseases to try experimental treatments when other treatments have failed them.

  14. 13. In June 2018, Trump and Kim Jong-un pledged to pursue lasting peace and complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. Trump then became the first sitting U.S. president to set foot in North Korea in June 2019 to talk further about nuclear negotiations. While a deal is still underway, the two remain on great terms.

  15. 14. In his first year in office alone, Trump’s administration reduced high-dose opioid prescriptions by 16 percent. He has also secured $6 billion in new funding to fight and control the epidemic.

  16. We already have a Medical cannabis law, yes, it needs to be updated to include other Medical diagnoses.

    No, we do not want drugheads driving our on our streets or wandering around under the influence just because they want to be high.

    So, I propose this amendment. Unless a person is exempt under a medical prescription from a Medical Doctor; any possession of cannabis in Iowa should be treated as a Felony, with fines starting at $5,000 per conviction and five years in prison. I don’t care if it is just a cigarette.

    Anyone selling cannabis without a Pharmacy license, if convicted, should serve at a minimum 25 years in prison and forfeit all assets.

    Finally, anyone convicted of driving under the influence of cannabis, should be sentenced to 10 years in prison, and fined $10,000 for each offense. NO Judicial discretion allowed! After a 3rd offense, that person should be deported to North Korea.

    That should take care of the drughead problem in Iowa.

  17. Dump makes a surprise visit to Walter Reed hospital, claims it’s for a ‘routine partial physical.’ Yeah, right. God is starting to clean up the mess by sending Trump to hell where he belongs.

  18. I wonder how many of the 20 something candidates are going to “commit suicide” between now and then to allow this wacko Hillary Clinton a shot at being the nominee.

    1. The only way Clinton will be the nominee is if the Republicans put her there. She doesn’t have the backing of the Democrats and the party will see a mass migration away from it if she would somehow hijack the nomination. Those migrating would not vote for trump but would find a 3rd party candidate of their liking – probably Sanders. Hilary running is just what the Republicans want and they would do anything to see that happen.

  19. What’s Pelosi’s excuse for not resigning, her state is in such sad shape that it’s a disgrace to even show people what it’s like there. And she’s been in her position for 30 years. He’s been in for 3. Who hasn’t been doing their job?

  20. What is wrong with the people in our country. They are giving this country away. Why would you elect a Muslim that won’t even speak your language!!! People had better wake up!!! These people are not the kind of people we want running our country. If you keep electing them it will no longer be your country. They are here to take over!!!! Wake up!!!!

  21. People must understand that Obama brought a large population of these people to America and settled them in one place so that these exact things would happen. The same is true of Ohmar and Talib. They are plants to weaken and destroy our country.Somehow we have to hold Obama accountable!

  22. Listen up everybody; It is NOT mainstream America who is voting in these “Muslim’s”. This is a systematic and well planned effort to takeover the USA. Ever hear of the “Trojan Horse”.? You guys better wake-up & read up on this. My comment may be censored, so let me know if you see it still.?

  23. Congress deserves a pay decrease. Have totally ignored the people’s agenda and are at all costs trying to cover their indiscretions. Drain the swamp on all sides

  24. HELL NO !!!!! you Democrats have not done a dam thing in the past 4 Years so what the F@@K do you need a raise for FOR NOT WORKING I don’t think so and while you are at it Pay Back the 2 Billion you took to fund your witch hunt on a duly elected President

    1. 2 billion? Where did you get that number? Oh wait, I know where it came from – the amount trump has stolen from we the people.

  25. Should be A 50% cut in pay for Congress. Then for the last 3 years they should Payback America for doing Absolutely nothing. They should also have to reimburse USA for the Millions Wasted on Investigations knowing was all bullshit.

  26. I remember my parents back in the 50’s saying Democrats get elected and for eight years everything backslides and the economy goes to hell. Then Republicans get back in and everything gets better.

    1. Your parents must have been dumb and you must be stupid! What happened during Bill Clinton’s administration? Look it up MORON! Go bend over and take it from behind from your DADDY trump!

      1. I remember it well. Clinton put in NAFTA and destroyed American Manufacturing. Then he turned the White House into a Whore house including his wife. Don’t tell me about Clinton you freakin asswipe. I voted for that P.O.S. the first term before he showed he couldn’t keep his dick in his pants.

      2. I would put my I.Q. against yours any time you Freakin Dumb Ass. I remember Clinton very well. I voted for him the first time and then he put in NAFTA and wiped out thousands of American jobs and then followed by turning the White house into a freakin whore house along with his whore wife Hillary. I never voted for a Democrat after that.

  27. Wake up !!!!!!America not Somalia.Great idea relocate them to Martha’s Vineyard heard that is a big supporter of immigrants there..

  28. **Aren’t these Somali gangs the very definition of “domestic enemies”, that veterans, active duty, reserve and Natl’ Guard troops have all taken a vow to defend our country against?! Time to load up, move out and stack bodies!

  29. **Soros is what I would compare to satan in the flesh walking the world! Powerful, evil, using his vast fortune to push his will on his minions to do his bidding not only in America, but all over the world!

  30. ****Soros is EVIL, he has said that enjoyed killing people when he was a NATZI . He is a threat to all countries.

  31. ***The Attorney General of this country should arrest Soros for whatever crime he committed and put him in jail and shut down the crime boss…

  32. ***Soros needs to be jailed immediately. He was the financier of the caravans we’ve had to put up with from Central America. He’s behind every crooked thing that goes on in the USA.

  33. ****Soros should not be allowed into this country with the Same intentions that he used to destroy other countries! Soros and his son are close close friends with Schumer, Schiff and family. This is where the left have gotten their support dollars, and that’s is why they are fighting Trump! This is because Soros knows that Trump will save this country! He should be locked up!

  34. ****Recent reports indicate that far-leftist billionaire George Soros has chosen to enter the conflict on the side of those who wish to harm the nation by severely undercutting America’s ability to continue functioning as a republic. This is no small matter and deserves every American’s close attention, especially the attention of America’s veterans.

  35. Republican U.S. House Representative from Ohio’s 4th District, Jim Jordan, a brain dead lunk head.
    Even former Republican House Speaker John Boehner, of all people, refers to Jim Jordan as an idiot.

    Jim Jordan is an extremist fiscal conservative, provided the money being spent isn’t being wasted on
    partisan witch hunts that only exist to throw red meat to lunatic conservatives.

    What is becoming more and more clear is that Jim Jordan is a shameless partisan hack living in a fantasy world,
    and that there is no bottom for how low he’ll stoop to prop up a corrupt, racist, anti-democratic,
    and utterly incompetent Republican Party.

    Jordan has no dignity, the whole point of his political career and the nihilistic movement that he belongs to
    is to destroy any semblance of dignity that this country’s democratic institutions once possessed.

    Jim Jordan is an ass-clown.
    He is an heir to McCarthy, Demagogic, dangerous and faithless to his oath and America.
    He is unfit to serve in the Congress.

    1. Jordon is one of the smartest, mots honest people in Congress today. You just don’t like him because he can beat the shit out of any Democrat on the floor.

  36. Good morning Trumptard

    Ya I’m talking to you ass-clown, the guy that posts all the lies and bullshit about how “great” Trump is.
    Trump is the most corrupt, cowardly and worst guy to ever sit in the Oval office.

    It is numbnuts like you that are traitors to our country.
    You are the epitome of stupidity.

  37. ***Recent reports indicate that far-leftist billionaire George Soros has chosen to enter the conflict on the side of those who wish to harm the nation by severely undercutting America’s ability to continue functioning as a republic. This is no small matter and deserves every American’s close attention, especially the attention of America’s veterans.

  38. ***Check out Glenn Beck’s special on the State Department and Soros’ NGO working in Ukraine, Macedonia and middle eastern countries. Just aired – frightening.

  39. ***Soros should not be allowed into this country with the Same intentions that he used to destroy other countries! Soros and his son are close close friends with Schumer, Schiff and family. This is where the left have gotten their support dollars, and that’s is why they are fighting Trump! This is because Soros knows that Trump will save this country! He should be locked up!

  40. **The Attorney General of this country should arrest Soros for whatever crime he committed and put him in jail and shut down the crime boss…

  41. ***Soros is EVIL, he has said that enjoyed killing people when he was a NATZI . He is a threat to all countries.

  42. * Soros is pure evil and has but one agenda. He simply wants to destroy America and has backed the Democratic Party to do so.

    1. Koch is pure evil and has but one agenda. He simply wants to destroy America and has backed the Republican Party to do so.

  43. *Soros is what I would compare to satan in the flesh walking the world! Powerful, evil, using his vast fortune to push his will on his minions to do his bidding not only in America, but all over the world!

  45. I’d rather trust a coiled snake about to strike then these Liberals who are suppose to be Americans working for the people. They are not working for the people, they are working for themselves and how to get richer at whatever cost it takes. Shame on them for taking an oath! God is watching and I am waiting! I hope Trump plays his cards right and proves the backstabbers, wrong. Then, sued them for slander of character!!

  46. “A Democratic congressional staffer exchanged private emails with former ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch two days after the whistleblower complaint that started the impeachment inquiry into President Trump was filed, contradicting Yovanovitch’s sworn testimony, according to emails

  47. Hell has no fury like a woman scorned. To lose a job after shuffling around for 30 years creates a lot of anger, especially when firing was justified!

  48. Pelosi, you demand respect and following rules and proper decorum yet have the audacity to warm and threaten the President of the United States. You were elected to the House of Representative by ONE state, and voted into your role by the members of the House, all elected by their individual states. And for your information, the government is OWNED BY THE PEOPLE, NOT YOU. Get over yourself and self inflated importance and either apologize or resign. And, sooner or later, no matter what you do, the identity of the whistleblower will come out, that is if there ever was one and this is one big political stunt.

  49. Demands the NFL give him a tryout, NFL concedes and sets it up per NFL rules and regs. Kaepernick demands his own film crew, his choice of a stadium after the NFL set it all up. NFL still made more concessions, Kaepernick goes ahead and shows up at the stadium he picked, rejected the NFL format, team owners had enough and walked away. Obviously, stupid starts with a K.

  50. ** President Trump has granted clemency to two Army officers — 1st Lt. Clint Lorance, who will be set free from Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, as soon as today, six years after being found guilty of second-degree murder, and Maj. Matt Golsteyn, a former Green Beret, who will have his murder charge dropped. Additionally, Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher will have his rank restored to chief petty officer after being docked a pay grade after being convicted of posing for a photo with a dead Islamic State fighter.

    1. Wonder if you will delete this too. Trump granted these soldiers a pardon despite his top advisors telling him no, his top generals telling him no, and his Secretary of Defense telling him it was a bad idea. 10 of Lorence’s squad members testified against him calling him reckless and a loose cannon.

      1. Strange, General Kane was all for it and supported Trump. Which advisors and which Generals? Come up with some names and prove it.

        1. “Except that both the civilian and military leadership of the Department of Defense opposed the pardons. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper, Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy, and senior military leaders advised against the pardons, worrying they would “damage the integrity of the military judicial system, the ability of military leaders to ensure good order and discipline, and the confidence of U.S. allies and partners who host U.S. troops.” The secretary of defense described “a robust discussion” with the president, wanting to clearly convey the department’s and his own personal disapproval of the pardons.”

  51. * It enrages me that these men were ever put through this! We send them to war then punish them . I am as proud of our President for this as when he appointed our justices to the Supreme Court! Maybe more! Thank you President Trump!

  52. *Obama releases 5 Guantanamo Bay detainees and no one bats an eye, Trump pardons 3 American soldiers and the left loses their collective mind

        1. I don’t know that. Can you provide a list of all those President Bush transferred, the accusations against each one, where they were transferred to, and a present day update on each and then do the same with the ones President Obama transferred? That way we can compare so we know what exactly the “worst of the worst” is. When you are finished, tell us what each President should have done. Thanks.

  53. * President Trump has granted clemency to two Army officers — 1st Lt. Clint Lorance, who will be set free from Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, as soon as today, six years after being found guilty of second-degree murder, and Maj. Matt Golsteyn, a former Green Beret, who will have his murder charge dropped. Additionally, Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher will have his rank restored to chief petty officer after being docked a pay grade after being convicted of posing for a photo with a dead Islamic State fighter.

  54. *A President that honors his military, honors his country and himself. A humble man or lady enjoys building up others. Socialism and Communism builds up and preaches a stronger government. A Republic strengthens the individual. Our military at this time carefully still protects both the individual and the government. With Presidents like President Trump, both government and individual rights are secure. A Democratic process that doesn’t care what happens at the border, welcomes the lawless and murders at the expense of legal workers are pleased to usher the well being of this nation to the brink of hell and shove it off because the gleam of a world order looms large for them.

  55. *Thank you, Mr. President for making the right decision and standing up for our military. You are our greatest president in the history of the United States. Thank you for being our president. You have my vote again in 2020. Looking forward to the next 5 years in the White House. #Trump2020

  56. * Awesome Mr. President for standing up for these men and our military. Thank you so much Commander-in-Chief for the right decision

  57. *Armchair players are not needed. Reviewing decisions made to help with future decision makers is different than conviction for crimes the US has selected. How can the assault of an enemy be wrong. That’s why they were sent to fight and they are expected to die without choice. They should not be accused let alone convicted for doing their job. Thank you Mr. President

  58. American’s close attention, especially the attention of America’s veterans.
    **Check out Glenn Beck’s special on the State Department and Soros’ NGO working in Ukraine, Macedonia and middle eastern countries. Just aired – frightening.

    1. Bwaahaaa, Glenn Beck.

      Glenn Beck is the ultimate in far-right wing dumb asses.
      He even makes Sean Hannity & Tucker Carlson look semi-intelligent.

  59. Wake up !!!!!!America not Somalia.Great idea relocate them to Martha’s Vineyard heard that is a big supporter of immigrants there.

  60. Obama should had NEVER EVER been president at the first place in history…all along with Clinton, Nixon and LBJ all together! We would’ve been been in a much better shape and been real far better off today without a presidency of Them (Obama, Clinton, Nixon and LBJ all together) in all history. FDR is bad enough already!

  61. The Deep State and their minions (such as Barrack Obama) will not go quietly into obscurity. It is up to us to keep Our President in office so that he may decimate this well entrenched foe to the American system of government… as intended by our Founding Fathers.

  62. *Soros needs to be jailed immediately. He was the financier of the caravans we’ve had to put up with from Central America. He’s behind every crooked thing that goes on in the USA.

    1. Can you prove any of this drivel? If he is behind all the crooked things that go on in the US, then he must be friends with Trump.

        1. I don’t support him anymore than I support you. I do support the Innocent until proven Guilty part of our justice system. It seems you only support that when it comes to people who think like you.

  63. *Soros should not be allowed into this country with the Same intentions that he used to destroy other countries! Soros and his son are close close friends with Schumer, Schiff and family. This is where the left have gotten their support dollars, and that’s is why they are fighting Trump! This is because Soros knows that Trump will save this country! He should be locked up!

  64. *Check out Glenn Beck’s special on the State Department and Soros’ NGO working in Ukraine, Macedonia and middle eastern countries. Just aired – frightening.

  66. Aren’t these Somali gangs the very definition of “domestic enemies”, that veterans, active duty, reserve and Natl’ Guard troops have all taken a vow to defend our country against?! Time to load up, move out and stack bodies!

  67. Soros is what I would compare to satan in the flesh walking the world! Powerful, evil, using his vast fortune to push his will on his minions to do his bidding not only in America, but all over the world!

  68. Soros is pure evil and has but one agenda. He simply wants to destroy America and has backed the Democratic Party to do so.
