America should be ashamed that Trump could be a candidate for either political party 7:53

[ZeroingTruths]

Trump is unhinged. But JD Vance should know better but he wants to be in the White House really bad. It’s all disgusting. 🤢

[jackllaughs]

With how bad Donald Trump did in that debate the other day it is surprising Kristi Noem didn't walk Donald down the local quarry the next morning.

[BLACKWOLF-]

His base is made up of the craziest people in the country.

THE TITLE SHOULD BE "TRUMP'S LONG HISTORY OF BELIEVING & SPREADING LIES"!!💯💯

Oh, I think we all know what Laura Loomer brings to the campaign.

Fun fact: Laura Loomer was SEVEN YEARS OLD when 9/11 happened. She's no more an 'investigative journalist' than I am. She's just an historical revisionist, a modern David Irving.

He’s a sociopathic narcissist. Distract, deny, deflect, demean, dismiss, destroy. That’s who Trump is.

[bongopirate]

Shouldn't that property be seized to pay judgements

[Rivers.Edge]

Media, call his mental decline out like you did Joe.

[ruthholec]

She’s Melania’s replacement. At least that’s what Laura thinks! I mean c’mon didn’t she say that Trump didn’t pay attention to her? Hmmm 🧐

[lisafalcon]

What Trump is doing is ENDANGERING all lives!!

[SquirrelWizard]

Nothing is “broken” in Donald Trump’s campaign. He has always been a crazy narcissist. I hope the media will finally start reporting on his age, mental decline, and nonsense.

[Flip-Da-Script]

She inflates is ego and inflate other things that his wife wont do.

[billieg]

Laura Loomer has been on Trump's team for quite a while. She performs "hits' on the candidate.

Hope or Hate

“Leaning into controversy “ is a long way to say lying.

[carolperkins]

He knows full well about her conspiracy theories, he repeats them.

[Delphina]

Duct tape for his mouth and a straight jacket is in order.

[Boxofcrap]

Just report about how the country went downhill Once Trump became president. The economy was on a downturn, we had Covid, the kids were locked down, Inflation started then
