Amazed

It’s easy to find a laugh from the simpletons who watch CNN and the like. If you actually believe the Epstein case is a Trump disruption, you’re delusional. Democrats would have pounced with Biden.

Brilliant move

Brilliant move, Mr. President. Snatch millions of illegal (and legal) immigrants from the honest work they were doing to enrich the American economy and throw them into long-term captivity where we, U.S. citizens, have to pay billions of dollars to apprehend, hold, and transport them rather than receiving billions of dollars of benefit from their labor. Do we have an illegal immigrant problem? Yes. And if you are a genius, as you claim, you can handle the problem in an intelligent, humane way. Please show us you can do that.

Hunter Biden’s comments

When speaking of who is going to clean, wash clothing, etc., Hunter Biden was referring to immigrants who do jobs that average Americans don’t want to do. For example, hotel cleaning, picking field vegetables and fruits, roofing, etc. Who really wants to work at a chicken processing plant? Immigrants play a huge role in performing these jobs that keep costs down for everyone. So give them temporary employment visas and hold businesses responsible for their return and prosecute or penalize businesses who don’t comply.

Nothing but complaints

Judging from the mostly negative anti-Trump Sound Offs, President Trump can never do anything right. He has been the most positive and accomplished more for the common people of this country than the last 5 presidents, combined. But as Rodney Dangerfield always said, “I get no respect.” That was funny, the anti-Trump crowd is not. They would rather see our country fail than acknowledge that Trump is doing his best to make this country better, despite the deep state opposition.

Oops

Looks like President Trump’s and Benjamin Netanyahu’s big, beautiful plan to build a beach resort in Gaza (yes, he said it) has hit a snag.

Trump train

This Epstein thing is the start of the Trump train going off the tracks. Please take note Sen. Wicker.

If only

Donald Trump has been a merciless, unremitting businessman and politician. He takes great pride in that, brags about it, so he has been foolish to think that Vladimir Putin is not the same. If Trump had been realistic about Putin all along, Ukraine would not have suffered so much violence, so many deaths, and such terrible loss of buildings and territory. Mr. President, it’s not too late to stanch the bleeding.
