A must-watch video. History majors will regurgitate. How can a president be so incredibly ignorant about his own country. It must be seen to be believed.

tomder especially with his many historical facts will love it.

[paraclete]

Rumours that is all it is rumours

[talaniman]

Hilarious when put together, but sad against the racist imperialism this president preaches.

[paraclete]

Everything is sad about this once great man. When was he great, only in his dreams

[tomder55]

He is egregiously wrong about how long it took to build the Empire State Building . It took thirteen and 1/2 months(410 days) ;the fastest time then or since to build a sky scraper . These days it takes 5 x longer than that to get permits and environmental impact statements resolved . By contrast it took 11 years to build the Freedom Tower in NY . So Trump was definitely wrong by a couple of months. What a catastrophe !

and yes walls are considerable older than wheels . Walls predate humans . Beavers have been building them for more than 20 million years (fossils have been found the size of bears ) DAM

He hasn't had a good idea in his life, everything he touches eventually fails so now the US is failing

[tomder55]

He hasn't had a good idea in his life, everything he touches eventually fails so now the US is failing

and what have you built in your life ? Everything he has done fails or eventually fails ? On the face of it that is nonsense . He has $74 million is real estate license deals and $823 million in joint real estate ventures . There are 500 businesses that he is either sole owner or joint owner . He has developed and constructed , residential real estate ,hotels ,resorts ,casinos ,and golf courses(17) . He created and was the star in the most successful reality show . His retail operations include or have included fashion apparel, jewelry and accessories, books, home furnishings, lighting products, bath textiles and accessories, bedding, home fragrance products, small leather goods, vodka, wine, barware, steaks, chocolate bars, and bottled spring water. Were some of his ventures failures ? Of Course . That is capitalism . The most successful have failures in their resume. But to list some of his failures there is a modelling company ,a Business university ,a natural ice water business ,and a steak brand .

When NYC wanted a carousel in Central Park who did they call ? The carousel generates $589,000 a year in revenue . The city benefits by the lease agreement . Before Trump took over it was a failure and the previous owners were evicted .The carousel now is one of the largest merry-go-rounds in the United States. In 1986, Trump offered New York City mayor Ed Koch to rebuild the deteriorating Wollman Rink in Central Park at his expense within six months . The rink was deteriorated and no the attempts to restore the rink were not working .The work was completed two months ahead of schedule and $750,000 under the estimated costs. It is state of the art ,as good as any NHL rink. The city then gave Trump the Lasker Rink ;also in Central Park to manage . The rinks generate $8.7 million a year in revenue . He did not rebuild the carousel and the rinks for his own good . He did those for the benefit of the city .

The dufus is a well known capitalist for sure, and that's what conservatives have always wanted, and that's what we got. We also have 3 years of his very public words and actions and we'll see in November if that's what we want more of. Oh wait, he didn't win the popular vote, but the electoral college gave him the win based on narrow victories in the rust belt states.

can he do it again? We'll see, but with this economy destroying corona virus raging, he better do more than call people names and stoke culture war issues and hope his base carries him through. Repubs got slapped hard in 2018, so both sides have stoked bases, and you can't evoke Obama and Hillary haters this time around.

GO JOE GO!! Get that dufus out of here, and boot Slick Mitch and the silent sicko-phants with him!

I think you want to be careful what you wish for, the cure may be worst than the disease, no wait, just another disease

I'll take Joe and a dem senate AND house over the bozos we have now.

not so long ago they were saying you do alright because of that same nutcase

[talaniman]

Who is they? Repubs? Or the dufus and his sycophants blowing their own horns and patting themselves on the back? While Aussies shutdown after a few hundred cases, we forge on in idiocy after 61,000 the last 24 hours.

this is what comes of drinking the koolaid

[talaniman]

It's not Kool-Aid Clete, it's snake oil. That's what you get when you elect a snake oil salesman to the WH.

[paraclete]

whatever it is, the result is the same

[talaniman]

No big difference. Listening to the dufus hocking snake oil gets you sick or killed, as we are seeing in several of our states with no end in sight, and now he wants you to get your kids out there into school with no plan from him of how to do so safely for everybody, yet threatening to with hold money if they don't.

Kool- Aid tastes good and everybody likes it. See the difference?

[paraclete]

you sell a different brand over there

[talaniman]

You are fortunate you don't have your own snake oil salesman nor the population to support one.
