LOL if CNN felt good about how they handled Trump, why did they cut the town hall 20 minutes short? LOL! Get Rekt!

Jeffries couldn’t shut down a lemonade stand with any competence

[zlatkojerkovic]

Trump said they are asking for too much. He also said that eventually we will default because spending is too high…

[squintzfour]

That’s why cnn cut the town hall 20 minutes early, get wrecked.

So cringe every time he opens his mouth he says "Extreme MAGA republicans" his favorite Buzzword combo, its so dumb and so disrespectful to people who don't agree with his ridiculous ideas. Such a joke. 2024 better shake things up for the good or it will just get even crazier.

What's with the audio? I have to turn it up so loud that when one of the ads pops up randomly within the video my whole house vibrates.
F*** you to the folks that don't know how to do their job right.

Poor guy doesn’t even believe what he’s pushing

[doncourtreporter]

Hakeem, tell us again how many police officers died on Jan 6. Five, you said?

Stop all income taxes. Collect cash donations door to door. Start up iphone voting every month. Every 2 weeks, pool cash in pentagon. 535 reps plus you divide cash, give to gov’t departments according to how constituents demand. Each rep has a woodshed to store cash. Each govt branch manager goes to each shed for cash. We the people have a chance to fire you on iphone voting once a month, when we see what you spend our money on.
