Facts to Trumpies is like sunlight to Vampires.

Apparently Donald studied constitutional law at Trump University.

Historical side note: Except in the Middle East, there are no monarchs with absolute power, just dictators.

[gwen]

We live in an Democracy NOT a Dictatorship and Trump can't do what ever he

[nickbarone]

Honestly this is all a useless exercise without a congress willing to do something

[hantusmostert]

Clearly the constitution needs to be altered from what just happened and a long drawn out investigation. The constitution should protect the constitution, not a president that have overreach

[radwulfeboraci]

We all know what happened to Charles I when he said 'I do what I want.'

[faceoff]

trump had to put down his craylon while he was doing his in the line pre-k colouring book he looked up at that moment not for clarification, or understanding, but more so he wanted everyone to see his great coloring.

[judetunes]

[GRDS]

Dear MSNBC.
Please make your staff read up on using an apostrophy correctly.

** lets

[jamaicangirlonelove]

Mini you need to apologize to Bernie Sanders. Why did you say he made your skin crawl? Did you say this about #45? That was not warranted.

[jaygibson]

Nobody is talking about Epstein right now.

[discman]

2:20 this guy's face is so square that he looks like a Mii

[puttentanesame]

So...what prison will Donny be sent to?

[tD-wpvj]

They have to be done in a way... why does the video black out and skip what she's says at that part each time.

[pauldavid]

After listening to these people talk it's clear that they believe that they can read what's in a persons heart. Not true and Trump didn't say he could do whatever he wanted he said Article 2 says that. And to speculate and feed the public innuendos is slanderous and unethical.
