I suspect if Trump can’t win in 2020 he will be in deep sh*t as the only thing protecting him from the limit on prosecuting federal crimes is getting a second term. Those polls and the continued hearings over two years might eventually get the GOP to abandon the sinking Trump bull ship.

When every network except for one talks about nothing other than speculation of crimes he committed, people are going to believe it.

Trump also called a very sick man form my home town of West Haven CT, whose dream was to meet him. Just like Hitler would have done for the infirm.

Great

I wonder who told him to do that since we know he has no empathy.

Let's not forget he once flew a sick child on his plane somewhere.

Why do you have to be dismissive of that? Lots of wealthy people (especially in CA where the kid lived, I think), have private jets, and any of them could have helped that gravely ill little boy. Trump stepped up. That doesn't erase all the terrible stuff he does. But the terrible stuff doesn't erase that gesture either.

You know who you sounded like? That piece of filth Pete Davidson on SNL, who made fun of Dan Crenshaw's missing eye, and then said "he got hurt in a war, or whatever".

You're way better than that.

How about we give honest praise when it's earned, and honest criticism when it's earned. Is that asking too much?

I'm just providing a counterpoint to your statement. He has no history of being generous and you do know he got/is getting in trouble w/his foundation. i would feel very confident in betting someone that you give a higher % of your salary/earnings to charity than he does.
