I don't do coverups

The "most transparent" President who hides his grades, tax returns, weight, conversations with Putin, stonewalls Congress, refuses to answer questions, etc.

Why would we believe him when he claims no coverup?
His story changes with the wind or perhaps his likes on Twitter.

At least 33 high-level campaign officials and Trump advisers had or were aware of contacts between the Trump team and Russia, including Trump and the three successive people who ran his campaign.
Yet none of them ever revealed to federal law enforcement that the Russians were seeking to interfere with the election by aiding the campaign.

I would not be a president who took vacations. I would not be a president that takes time off.

The events never happened. Never. All of these liars will be sued after the election is over.

I’m under a routine audit and it'll be released, and as soon as the audit is finished it will be released.

I would build a great wall, and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me, and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great great wall on our southern border and I’ll have Mexico pay for that wall.

And he is in charge of sending a fleet and potentially troops to an already volatile region; what could possibly go wrong?🤮

Trump can’t do his job because he’s being investigated.
Reagan had Iran Contra
Bush had more Iran Contra
Clinton was impeached
Bush had Lawyergate and millions of lost emails
Obama had Fast and Furious
They all continued to do their jobs
The only one who absolutely refused to release information requested by Congress until the Courts made him was Nixon.
Are those the footsteps a president should follow?

No kidding !!!
The economy is booming.
Stock market is at all time high.
Unemployment is lowest it’s been in decades, including blacks and Hispanics.
No wars.
No ISIS trying to kill us.

It’s fishing season and all he and a bunch other do on a daily basis is come on this site and piss & moan about Trump.

Get off the computer and go fishing

i don’t have a problem criticizing the guy when he deserves it. But (1) look at your history, how many anti Trump threads have you started, and (2) have you ever given him credit for
doing anything that has helped the country?

I despised obama, but i gave him credit all the time for what he did with the economy and terrorists.

If he gets re-elected, are you going to be ok?

Stock market is at all time high. (who knows their rational their up and down like a yo yo again not because of Trump )
Unemployment is lowest it’s been in decades, including blacks and Hispanics.
(pay and benefits still flat)
No wars. (still in afghanistan and Iraq and africa)
No ISIS trying to kill us. (not just because of Trump)


All true but none are reasons to see his refusal and his staff being order not to comply with subpoena from congress as acceptable ..

‘If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth?’ Trump said


Its funny to see the right decide what parts of the constitution they think applies to them and what parts do not //

Lying about Stormy Daniels was an aberration.

Maybe we can discuss Obama's tan suit again.

The Rasmussen polling has him headed for an alltime low, the Republicans in Congress are getting scared of being on a ship that might not be seaworthy, none of his big deals are working and 55% of american voters just want someone as President who just shuts the FU and does his job.

Maybe it's time for Infrastructure Weak once again, but he can't because he's being investigated.

trump is overseeing wage hikes that outpace inflation. i completely agree with you that working people’s wages have been stagnant, that’s not the fault
if someone who has never held public office until
now, and under whose
leadership, wages are finally outpacing inflation. it’s not trumps fault that obama and
bush didn’t do as well on this issue.

Does this statement indicate you do not think you are a snowflake?

It's Funny how whenever anyone asks you to clarify a statement you make you never do it. I think you're the ultimate Snowflake and that is why you now come to the political forum. You did not like how President Trump was treated so you decided to post more. What's more snowflake ish than that?

So guys like you and others insist the economy is booming employments low .. I guess don't live in a worker's world. Oh I got a 3 cent raise or a 25 cent raise hooray

But my insurance has gone up my out of pocket co payments have gone up 250.00 more . My local taxes have gone up fro. Water sewer trash .. the avg Joe is not seeing this great economic growth..
wages since 2010 have declined like 9% factoring in inflation
We are playing catch up with wages while company's are are beyond caught up


I guess that's why stop and shop workers went on strike.

Stop & Shop’s parent company, Ahold Delhaize, hasn’t justified the cuts, noting that the Dutch food retail giant reported $2 billion in profits last year, and recently voted to give shareholders $880 million in dividend payments

no, liars like YOU deny that the economy is booming. don’t pretend that i have the agenda because i say the economy is booming.yiu simply cannot accept he could be doing anything well.

by the most important indicators ( GDP, unemployment, stock market, wages), things are good. i wasn’t aware that your out-of-pocket cost for your health insurance, was a more important indicator of how the economy is doing, than GDP or
unemployment. My bad.

Your state/local taxes are not a federal issue. You want low state/local taxes, move to a conservative state.

one private company having an employee strike, is also not an indicator or the national economy.

why are you so desperate to avoid
admitting that the economy is robust? what are you afraid would
happen if you said he’s helping the economy?

TDS has brought you deep into the twilight zone.

Nobody is saying that everyone is killing it. But most folks who have good jobs have benefited from this economy. To expect a champagne pocketbook with a Boone’s farm background is probably a stretch but a paycheck that supplies food,shelter,electric,cable,cell phone and many of the other comforts formerly associated with the middle class should be celebrated. Combine this with the good fortune of a pension and some vacation money and you should kick your heels together.
