Trump has an opinion, intelligence has facts. Trump has real difficulty telling the difference.

This guy tells the thruth. Not happy with Mattis, he tells us to our face. Respect!

The other day I was told by a gravely somber team of oncologists that I had prostate cancer and there was just a chance I might survive if I had emergency surgery. Later that day I told my supervisor at the sewage sorting plant where I work and I must say I was tremendously relieved when he told me my doctors didn't know what they were talking about, and I was probably fine. Whew!!...Talk about relief !!!.

Saying that pelosi plays games isn't going to work.
Telling reporters that they're naive isn't going to work. This guy is so out of touch

[nenagonzo]

Such a liar!!! Mattis left on his own accord and he didn't know it for 4 days!

OMG it must be so embarrassing to be an American. 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈

Steven Jobs famously said, "We don't hire people to tell them what to do. We hire people to tell us what to do." That philosophy has proven itself to work, over and over. If only it would be embraced by government and business.

So he has his very own self chosen intel people? I thought all or most of his friends are awaiting trial or indicted! There's going to be over crowding in the federal pen, if he picks anymore "best people"! I'm just saying!!!! #anybodybuttrumpin2020

[rocksdonteat]

He doesnt have to agree with them. But he does have to tell us where he got his opposing information. Wikipedia or Putin?

Margaret Brennan did an excellent interview.

[GodsOath_com]

There’s actually a US law that says we are not to fight unending foreign wars. Vietnam Nam was not supposed to happen, but we have Afghanistan and Iraq and Syria.

[joelisSHI]

Why doesn't he shut down the demand instead of the supply.

Who are these people buying women and children who he isn't calling out.

[bmorekou]

Nooo, you're doing a terrible disservice to this company being in office. Draft dodging Trump.

[rdworldtraveler]

needs to be in a rubber room not on tv,

[b-qozb]

51 billion spent on Afghanistan -that’s crazy, with that money we can have free medicine!

[davidcwitkin]

Jesus Christ. What an avalanche of lies and prevarications.

[keontaewilliams]

What part of America First means “protecting the world” ?

[projectcokeroach]

...poor her... must be horrible to try to do a proper interview and being confronted by someone like THAT....

[jasminehouston-burns]

How anyone doesn't realize he is a pathological liar is beyond me.

[Cusera]

He lies. He insults. He divides. He lies some more. He brags. Lies even more. Why bother!
