Retired Lieutenant Colonel: 'Infantile' Trump Is No Patriot | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC

President Trump’s lies about doing business in Moscow may not be crimes, but they could have serious implications for U.S. National Security. Retired Lieutenant Colonel Ralph Peters tells Ari Melber he “can’t imagine a more serious national security threat that a U.S. President who is compromised” by Russia and says he does not “buy” that Trump is a patriot, and does not believe “he would sacrifice his life to save the lives” of Americans.

Retired Lieutenant Colonel: 'Infantile' Trump Is No Patriot | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC

TREASON! IS THE WORST CRIME TO COMMIT AGAINST YOUR NATION!

[AThagoras]

*Everything* Trump does is about serving his own interests. Everything Trump does is about *him, * not anyone else.

[allen]

If anybody else had done any of this it would be a crime. But because the political establishment of the GOP coordinated the whole campaign with foreign governments.

[larrysnyder]

I have friends in New York and they have said Trump has been a conman and joke his whole life.

[tmseh]

I have big respect for Lt. Col. Peters after he spoke out against sales of the AR-15, a military weapon, to the general public. Funny how that was around the time he was dropped from Fox News.

[deepstar]

The lying Traitor in Chief and his lying family need to be held accountable.

[sarge]

If Obama did what tRump is doing, the GOP would have had a woody for years.

[trodapulse]

I’m what they would call a low information voter and I knew from the jump that this fool wasn’t good for this job and I didn’t need a news channel to figure it out

[stifledvoice]

America has always been forgiving of their president's foibles, but trump will be the unforgiven one.History will not be kind to a Benedict Arnold president.

[independentmind]

I will never understand how anyone could ever have thought it was a good idea to cast their vote for this poor excuse of a man. America has become the absolute laughing stock of the world.

[tracieday]

I remember Watergate, as well as Clinton getting busted for a bj. My question is why is Trump being allowed to do whatever with zero repercussions? Wtf has happened to our government? I'll admit I was walking thru life completely oblivious to politics. The only prop I can give Dumpster is that from now on I'll always be aware of my government.

[stellashepherd]

Okay these two made a very serious subject very amusing with their references to “the Dude”, Grace Slick and the erotic overtones of skyscrapers. And yes, treason is illegal.

[mr.hostetter]

Can't help but notice a huge lack of Trump supporters defending their boy on social media nowadays.

[lilmamasomeanlovedymond]

One by one every republican congress member should be impeached for neglecting their duties and treason for not investigating trump and his family using every means and circumstances to get to the TRUTH

[lexas]

Trump is a patriot of the Republic of Trump.

[donniedeaton]

Poor Trump, I bet he wishes he didn't win the presidency in 2016, LOL

[northerniltree]

I get more decency and sense out of the Honorable Mr. Peters in 2 minutes than I have gotten from our most unfortunate
Mr. Trump in 2 years.

[nemesis]

The good Colonel neatly sums up the tragic irony that is TrumpskiWorld.

[pinkrose]

I kept telling people who thought about voting for Trump that him wanting to be friends with Russia was not a good idea. Putin is ex KGB band knows how to work Trump!! It just didn't sound or feel right. Common sense, !!!

[EugeneAxe]

Trumpsky looks like The Joker in that thumbnail photo.
