- Rachel Maddow looks at an example from the Donald Trump financial documents submitted by Michael Cohen as part of his House Oversight Committee testimony, in which Trump appears to adjust the valuation of a piece of real estate to change how he would look to a bank, which would be a crime if that's the case.

Michael Cohen Documents Raise Questions About Donald Trump Financial Fraud | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
Rachel Maddow makes it easy to see the truth
"Lock Him Up!" "Lock Him Up!" 👮♂️👶👮♀️
On
25 to 50 should be the number of years in prison
45, 25!
I love Rachel Maddow. Keep hard-charging for the truth, Rachel!
Can always count on Rachael to break it down nicely.
Somehow hearing this from Rachel Maddow makes it all the more sweet.

hey
Rich H - Love my Rachel
If you surround yourself with enough lawyers, mobsters, and yes-men, you will arrive at a point where you are convinced you can get away with anything. And then you try to.
So true. That's who he is. Going to the grave holding onto his craziness.
Sure enough, he's trying. It now looks like he may succeed.
K... Say it again please...
And how true this has become
All this should have been outed 2 years ago, except for the GOP obstructing any inquiring into it. And this is just one financial aspect.
Well... wonder if RUSSIAN TROLLS did an excellent job? Wonder why Republicans "conveniently" decided to look the other way?
This Daily KOS comment sums up the current situation perfectly...
"The GOP is no longer a major political party: it has devolved into pure hate masquerading as an ideology. One day, we’ll look back at the GOP the same way we look back at the KKK in their heyday in the 1920s, when they were a political force to be reckoned with. We’ll wonder how we ever, as a nation, tolerated such putrid, vile filth to infect our democracy."
@@johnkenealy9517 Tru statement bro ✊
@dirac bracket This would not be the first treasonous felony he has committed.
Treason is one of a few felonies that demands a death sentence.
That is why the Democrats have been tip - toeing around all this. They absolutely need to proceed carefully all around what is being revealed. They have to get it right.
Admitted liar but no longer needs to lie because it wouldn’t benefit him, so we all have to be thankful for Cohen’s testimony’s, laying out more for the public to see. Need more people to grow a pair and start to speak up.
More investigations should start flying soon.
@@leeladavis9193 Truth!
@Kevin Lopez facts
Cohen didn't "Grow a pair" he got indited and co-operated with law enforcement for a lighter sentence.
Now the dominoes start to fall and it's suddenly every man for himself. We don't need to wait and hope for his cronies to grow a spine thankfully- because thats not happening. We just need to wait for law enforcement to do their job.
Donald Trump may seem to stand statuesque above it all but his feet of clay are starting to crack.
@Kevin Lopez hopefully members of GOP are next
Justice for our nation is very needed
That graph is too hilarious 😂 😂🤣🤣!
I love it. Rachel, please continue this wonderful, thorough AND necessary reporting. No stop your work. WE (the country) need this.
All of Cohen's documents will one day be in the Congressional Museum. We tried to tell you Orange was a criminal...….The Sane ones knew it!!
Orange man bad. Lol
trust in a liar ! smh
Its going to be next to the 45's Twitter Library!
What documents though? thats the issue
The idiotic ones know it, they just don't care. That is the scary thing.

Rachel Maddow’s talented storyteller is that she always starts her narrative from a dismal historical foundation. The story is unfolding gradually as it is centrally approached. It reaches its highest climax when it reaches the centre of the scandal and immediately exploded with the most reliable power.
More like, all the way to Egery and back!
Yes she is the best. Been watching her since Keith Olbermann countdown on msnbc
I always say--nothing is shocking anymore with this pathological liar ORANGE man. The base won't believe that and they will shout fake news. Rachel--one of your very best reporting. Bravo.
Haha. I know you are paid or a bot.
12:30 "Pitiful, Vain and Sad are some of the lesser Dwarves in this story." 😂
Insignificant360 _ and let’s not forget the diamond and ice cube comment that came after
Rachel turned into Stephen Colbert for a minute there 😄
Rachel Maddow, the best youtube channel ever PERIOD.
Peter Karlsson IN COMPLETE AGREEMENT!!
And you just know that before the show how excited she must have been knowing what she had to tell us. Great job 👍👌 Rachel
Best television journalist...the USA should be proud to have her.
but she's a conspiracy theorist though.....hm
how many more "bombshells" will she expose that lead to absolutely nothing. yeah shes great
I like what she reports, but I get tired of the 28 minutes for 6 minutes of info.
Trump's going from the White House to the Court House to the Big House. WHEN? We can't wait.
Rachel you raise some interesting questions and hopefully we will get an answer, soon.
Maybe Gaddafi dropped off 250m worth of gold bars when he was there
Oh. My. God. Buried treasure! I declare, we all head there and start digging.
That would be rich. Then, what would Republicans say? And the fact that Hillary oversaw his demise. Woah!
And then took them back when he got kicked off
You're giving him the perfect defence.
ha ha very good!
There is a different issue about Deutsch Bank. They had been given large fines for their own activities dealing with Russians and other illegal activity. Their billion + fine was reduced. The question about how that happened hasn't been explained. They were the only bank that continued to loan to Trump in the most recent business deals.
abilitynorth : It will be. Putin was pulling the strings, there. The Bank of Cyprus was laundering cash for them too. A LOT to uncover, and it’s time to DEMAND Open Congressional Hearings on EVERYTHING. Keep contacting your Representatives ✌️
Looks like DB is basically a mob outfit. Look forward to having them sued out of existence.
@Zep Tepi Thank you. Now the timing of his retirement makes sense.
abilitynorth this is also the bank that retired SCJ Kennedy, and has a son that works for this bank. I think that there is some kind of a illicit connection with Kennedy, his son, trump and the bank and that’s why Kennedy retired so rump could appoint a new SCJ. It’s just a conspiracy theory.....but.... I’m keep my ears open for this revelation
EVERY bank in the world is doing something shady. If you go through every documents under ANY bank's possession, you are bound to find something illegal going on.
Trumps defense will be : Look at my grades, i'm dumb.
😁😂🤣👍
LMAO
Hope someone will leak his grades one day!

Me too, buddy. That should be worth a good laughter.
Nope, he's not dumb!!! He's playing the people.
Odd how "influencing a financial institution" can get you felony charges, but robbing people who definitely cannot afford losses via "Trump University" gets a fine. Why is this injustice allowed? Yes, I am suggesting that there is a tiered justice system in the US.
Because they settled out of court and the case was dropped. He should have been investigated but this was a civil suit. Remember when Trump claimed that he "gets sued a lot but he always wins".
It's worse, the system is indisputably corrupted!

@Julie W. Well stated. It is hard to understand how so many people vote for politicians who willfully and evidently act against these peoples' self interests. If people truly understood how media like Fox News were started specifically as a political propaganda machine as opposed to actual news, maybe they might change. Difficult to say.
"John Barron" is not having the best of weeks.
Dann Marceau David Dennison either
@Darth Wheezius I am wondering why NO ONE asked about David Dennison while I was watching the testimony. I am interested in the connection to Elliot Brody specifically. Why did he use the same supposed moniker of 45? What was the 1.6 million dollars for, where was it from, what was the payment method, what did he get in return? I read that he got no bid government contracts worth around 100 million. Did Brody take an abortion bullet for trump? Sersha Ronan looks exactly like Ivanka, Stephanie Cliffords and Karen McDougal, trump obviously has a strong preference for blondes that look like Ivanna/Ivanka; was it really he that had the affair with her?
$291 million 😂😂😂😂 OMG no wonder North Korea walked away as he saw the truth faster than Republicans that no 45 was a con man Russian agent.
Sad Fat Kim just wants to be on TV... actually, not so different from Sad Fat Donnie... I'm tired of the Clown Show.
Kim may also be thinking that it's not worth it to make deals with Trump anymore, because Trump won't be in office for much longer. Better to wait it out and see what happens in the USA.
Your mom is a Russian agent

Rachel is very good. So articulate and knows how to lead and carry the audience along the way with clear explanations... sheesh, I’d be extremely happy to have even just 1/10th of her abilities. I’m one of those which have to have a long mmmm pause and think before speaking. Rachel just effortlessly paints the story with her flowing words.
Mark Mac - she is very good and her research team are excellent. You don’t like her. I get that. But most people can appreciate good investigative skills. Pity you are too prejudiced to be one of them.
@@hannahmurray3782 hahaha. Her corporate masters tell her what to say. Anyone who buys anything these corporate shills say is a brain washed normie. That's what you are.

Remember do what you're told like I good little slave. I'd rather be a liberty to do what I want thank you very much. Here is how you know you're losing.

Watch Giuliani coming out and saying that defrauding a bank is not a crime since Trump got someone else to do it for him.
It's the poor sap on the street that pays for all the tax evasion that the rich do. [EDIT] I think they (the rich) need another 1.9 Trillion tax give away so we can burden the great-grandchildren as well.
Well said!
Have you done your federal taxes yet this year? I'm so happy to pay more taxes to help the very rich be more comfortable, and pay less for their comfort. I have a warm fuzzy feeling.
Pitchfork time people. And a 90% top income bracket.
Read the book, "Thoughtful Living" to get a view no one else shows.
The wealthy moan they pay almost all the taxes, but where does that money come from? The poor and middle class. There's no other way around it. It's not like the wealthy "deserved" their big gains - it's gotten from exploitation of the system and exploitation of humanity.
@@donaldswamp2501 Just my opinion, but taxes and laws work a lot better than pitchforks. Other countries have a rule that CEOs can't make more than about 50 times the average worker wage. www.fastcompany.com/3058537/if-youre-a-ceo-in-israel-your-pay-is-now-tied-to-the-pay-of-your-workers
The nice thing about how Republicans treated Cohen during his hearing is that they repeatedly hammered on him lying to a bank, predicting how they will treat Trump for doing the same thing.
LOL
MVVpro - good one!
Don't hold your breath on that note!!! Republicans will stand by him not because it's protecting the Country from a tyrant but because he's a Republican. Birds of a feather stick together. It's gut wrenching to see how little these politicians appreciate the deeds of our military soldiers who gave life and limb to keep our Country free and protect our rights. Trump is destroying the Country with a one man army!!!!
Whats funny about these phoney evaluation scheme is that we have many GOP representative, on record, that same day, explaining to us what a serious crime it is.
remember when he filed a massive loss , so that he would not have to pay tax for the next few years. any bets the IRS will investigate it
It must have been when that mansion suddenly lost its value and went back to something close to its previous assessment
i dunno, IRS is dept of treasury, which is executive branch.
rakninja

The IRS only goes for the middle class folks.
Do you really sit around thinking about Trumps tax account or is someone paying you?
I can't believe Trump didn't go to jail 2 decades ago.....
Fleck Smugbrother hopefully he will this time
I've wondered the same thing... Billionaires protecting other billionaires from criminal prosecution....
Bribes.
4 decades ago
@@StevenTorrey i doubt he is a billionaire
Dang even if he doesnt get impeached, once he is out of office he will be going to prison.
Impeachment does remove him from office; its an indightment.
@@ingriddubbel8468 umm i know what impeachment means, just dont think the Republicans will have the balls to do so. But when his term is over he will go to prison
No impeachment means bringing charges. If the person wins they stay in office.
@@nosuchthing8 dude please go and read my comment. I said even if it doesnt happen, when Trumps term is up he will be going to prison. Why are you even making a argument of that. What is the point you are trying to make? Nobody asked what impeachment means just stated if it doesnt happen Trumo will still go to prison.
corey jacobs From Lil Giant As I am sure you realize, Trump was impeached (or indicted) the first time round. The Senate did not convict, so even though impeached he did not lose office. The reason they did not convict is that the two reasons were not impeachable offenses. One was his right as President, which even Obama performed in office, and the other was simply not a High Crime or Misdemeanor. He is considered to be impeached, regardless. The Constitution did not provide any terms for an impeachment not completed in the Senate. It is unlikely that any President not convicted in the Senate would be convicted in court. The Senate has lower standards for conviction than a criminal court.
I will not go into all the illegalities used to impeach Trump. You would not believe me because the Mainstream Media (MSM) tells a completely different story than the real one. Ninety percent of MSM is owned by Genneset, which is controlled by six-member committee. Since Genneset controls the narrative for this country truth has become a football. Or perhaps that would be a ping-pong ball. Very few know or care enough to dig truth out. It would become a case of difference of viewpoint to discuss here, and that is pointless in a small Comment section.
However, the book “The Federalist Papers,” presents a lot of the viewpoints of the Founders, through their communications, if you are interested. Hillsdale College also provides short UTube videos on the Constitution. Understanding the reasons behind the Constitution is very rare these days. Even those who are familiar with the vocabulary, do NOT understand the reasons for the principles contained within it. One example? Most are now trying to change this Constitutional Republic into a Democracy. The Founders deliberately avoided creating a democracy. An illustration of one reason for that is attributed to Benjamin Franklin. He said that a Democracy was like two lions and a goat trying to decide what is for dinner. The founders had several reasons for disliking a Democracy. The final death knell was that democracy has a short-term life span, historically speaking, and demise comes too quickly-approximately two hundred years. Think about Greece, which was a democracy. I realize you might believe, because of the loose terminology those in power continually throw around to blind us, that democracy exists throughout the world. Those who understand government and systems know that is not true. Democracy is a noun. Democratic is a general adjective, or a category. Republic is is also a noun. If you understand the difference between the two nouns, you will also understand the reason for the electoral college which the “Progressives” have, and are, doing their best to cancel. They will probably win. And America will lose.
Wondering about the strange coincidence involving Justice Kennedy resigning around the time that Deutsche Bank was raided, being that Kennedy’s son worked there and handled Trumps’ Deutsche Bank dealings. Just saying, what an interesting coincidence.
So many very interesting coincidences, so very many. Trump thinks we are all stupid.
Good catch! I never made the connection.
I lived in Calif. where Kennedy lived before the Supreme Court appointment. We moderate democrats wondered why/how he was nominated, since Calif. is a liberal state and Kennedy was a conservative. His son's connection with Deutsch Bank and Tump loans is no surprise in retrospect,. Unfortunately the Democratic party routinely fails to look for and inform voters of vital information about the candidates for office which results in people voting for candidates against their values..
Excellent reporting Rachel. 👍.
I don't understand how you can just inflate values like that. Don't they have a 3rd party doing appraisals there? Or was one done and trump paid extra for the inflated value?
On some documents you submit to banks, you are allowed to self disclose under the threat that a false submission is subject to criminal prosecution. I guess he didn't read that part of the document.
They will all be living in that prison next door soon...
95% depreciation in one year. The art of the deal huh....
Sounds like the buffalo bills dodged a bullet.
whewww
So much for Trumps Flag moments. He USED TAKE A KNEE just for REVENGE. And votes of course.
You might say they were staring down the barrel of a 45
If he had been successful and bought the Buffalo Bills, they would be bankrupt by now.
sounds like trump dodged a bullet - who'd want the bills?
Articles of impeachment - NOW
Soon. It needs to mushroom for awhile in the minds of the public. Give it a few more weeks.
Laura Berg : Keep contacting your Representatives, every day. DEMAND OPEN Congressional Hearings, on ALL Trump’s crimes. Especially the Trump Foundation, which, “Routinely STOLE MONEY from defenceless, needy CHILDREN and US VETERANS,” under the guise of being a, “CHARITY.” If that isn’t the SICKEST thing, that says it ALL, I don’t know what is?
Not now. The 35% who support Trump no matter what have to be swayed. Trump is clinging to their support.
@@anthonyellis4915 Actually, it might matter more what the Republican Senators' very large donors want to happen.
@@ashroskell They can't do that in open hearings until the investigation into it concludes, though. The committee chairmen have vowed to make the transcripts public as soon as they can be cleared to, which is better than nothing.
I love you Rachel
I love you Rachel. I know you're way out of my league, but this video is glorious. Thank you lol
And people wonder why the Mueller report hasn’t yet come out. 😂
@Darth Wheezius it will to be a 8 part mini series
If we say that "No One Is Above The Law" then we need to mean it. Otherwise, there is no faith in the system, in Justice. Hoping the State of New York at least won't let him get away with his various "white collar" financial crimes.
Now Cy Vance, SDNY DA has engaged Forensic financial Attorney's and Michael Pomerantz the Prosecutor who took down the Gambino Mob boss, through his finances and its took this long because Trump took out Frivolous Lawsuits to continue to hide his financial information, but last year the Supreme Court said that Trump had to hand over his financial information to SDNY and Trump took it to the lower courts again when the DA sent a representative to collect the paperwork and it went back to the Supreme Court again, for Trump's Attorney's to argue that Trump shouldn't have to hand his Paperwork over and the Supreme Court said "The Plaintiffs request is Denied" and within the hour Cy Vance's office had that paperwork and the Case is moving ahead very quickly now 😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I cant understand why Trump is is not i. Prison yet?
Thank you Rachel .. keep this story alive.. let America not forget 🙋♀️
Drained the swamp and create even a larger swamp...
You mean a cesspool
We need to vote all Republican Senator and House members out of their office in 2020. I don't see there is a Republican Senator or House member like Elijah Cummings among them. We need to protect our constitution when they refuse to protect the constitution of America.
October 17, 1931 Alphonse Capone gets the hammer for tax evasion.
Untouchables
It wouldn't surprise me if the Russian stuff is never able to be proven 💯 but it going to be fraud that brings down 45.
Get got 11 years 8 months for tax evasion to be exact. The last half of it was served on 'the Rock' (aka Alcatraz)
The real crime here is that he wanted to buy the Buffalo Bills hahahahahahahah this fact alone should be impeachable.
The person who knows where the bodies are buried ...
Is buried himself.
Cohen's testimony was revealed crimes ny attorneys are going to lock DRUMP and his family with. Cohen knows what he did and allocated to the court in his guilty plea. DRUMP is cooked at this point
i wish we have MSNBC in europe . Very perfect channel with detailed news always
So, after all of this, maybe he goes down like Al Capone did for tax evasion. A fitting end for the wannabe mob boss. Maybe they can re-open a cell at Alcatraz for the Orange tan man.
Xander Galen : Time to RICO the Trump Organisation
@@ashroskell While I like the RICO angle otherwise, RICO is federal--pardonable.
Athena : It’s just one tool in a vast box. It will drain the very resources that Trump thought he was in the game for, sapping his will to fight. And, LET HIM, “Pardon,” himself, IF he can? And LET AMERICA SEE HIM DO IT. The US is finally getting the message. I can’t see how RICO would do the SLIGHTEST harm, at this stage?
@@ashroskell RICO would do harm if it spared him from prison, and it's Pence who would pardon him in the scenario I was thinking of. Trump will be removed this year, and while Pence is dirty too, I haven't heard any indication that they have much on him that might get him removed.
Athena : Look up, “RICO Process,” and you’ll see; it is not a Judicial, “consequence,” of any description, but a measure to prevent further crimes, or to protect the public. It’s NOT an, “alternative,” punishment, and it would have NO bearing on ANY trials, hearings, impeachment, sentencing, etc. I assure you, it CAN DO NO HARM, except to Trump. RICO takes money from people, because it is accepted that it is NOT THEIRS. It CANNOT be taken into account as part of ANY Judicial Sentencing. Check it out? ✌️
😂😂😂 That graph just killed me, the abject absurdity of it. Did it not occur in Trump's very big ah brain that someone might notice the, how can I put it...peculiarity? 😄
LOL, yeah, especially when he's the one who likes pictures more than words.
Apparently Deutche Bank lent him the money. Putin's money
If you can get that for $25 million in Westchester County, what do you get for $291 million? The whole county?
i am sorry to say that but the 1st graph does not look right. the rise of the 7.5 to 19 mil does not scale as the rise from 20 to (say) 35 mil. try a spread sheets program this graph is not suppose to look like that.
i think RM is doing a good job and i really don't care about trump.
but this graph does not look right.
and if you want the truth this is the problem with us politics now it became so toxic that people stopped believing what they see to believe in what they want to see.
again sorry about this reply may hurt some. but i am on nobody's side here. only data.

👉👉Patience democrats, patience.👍.
Wonder if it will be prosecuted under Rico statutes. I wonder.
Experts say that it qualifies, but that would turn it Federal. Federal charges run the risk of being pardoned, for now.
If it does go to RICO.. Wouldn't the complacency of the Republicans.. Especially, Paul Ryan, and Mitch McConnell, have far reaching consequences?!
@@robertwillmott2136 Inaction wouldn't, but covering things up would, and I'm fairly certain a couple of them have actively engaged in that pursuit.
@@Athena-xp4lt But remember, NJ and NY both have state income taxes. If Trump is as financially dirty as it looks like, he's likely dodged state income taxes in the last 10 years.
@@Matt-hx4vn He reportedly has, but RICO would encompass any charges that were considered a part of his Corrupt Organization (the C.O. in RICO). If state taxes alone are not included, I don't find that satisfactory.
With all of that said, I don't believe he'll be here for his prosecution. I expect him to head for a country that shouldn't extradite him, most likely Russia. Facing things is not his style, and he knows how it would go. Humiliation has always been what he dreaded most. He'll watch his trial in absentia from afar, but not have to look anyone in the eye who disapproves.
Forget about the Buffalo Bills..."Game Over".
Why wouldn’t the banks verify what these people are telling them?
2 years on, nobody in jail except Cohen ,,where is justice when you need her?
You are there but your system is too broken to move on him.
@@pelagicdivision Not a troll. It's taken 2 years to get to this stage and still people in control are hee-haw ing about whether King Con is a criminal or whether he can even be charged. Meanwhile he carries on making you all look like idiots in the eyes of the world (friends and foes alike). If he is impeached, then what? what's the punishment for that beyond loss of office? He must be brought before the courts later, for the same things he's been impeached for or he basically walks.
PS It's USA, not America that you refer to, don't drag the other 30 odd nations that makeup America into it.

Seize it and turn it into a Mexican themed theme park.

In the Southern District of New York we trust....
I love Rachel’s storytelling skills!
I don't like Hillary but, I cannot wait for the inevitable photo of Hillary visiting Trump in jail.
Gadaffi leased the southern lawn, John Gacy had parties on the northern lawn, Ted Bundy rented the basement and John Gotti rented the rest. Such is the caliber of Spankys associates.
"Pitiful, Vain, and Sad are some of the lesser dwarves in this story." I want to see this remake!
Uh... lock him up, right? Yeah. Lock him up!
The graph is not even to scale, that 291 is where about 125 would be. You actually made this look not as bad as it was.
Anytime my homes value goes up my home insurance goes up. I don’t understand why that wouldn’t be the same for Trumps properties. 🤔
The economics is different for the very wealthy. The bank still requires insurance to cover their risk. But if you own several properties and inflate the value of all, you increase your perceived net worth, and can carry a higher deductible.
I have great admiration for Rachel. Rachel is cooler than a rock star!
Rachel - I love the way you lead into a story with all these little details of an area or person and then by the time we are at the meat of the story, you come out with these humorous lines to make it almost like a comedy. You are so easy to listen to and follow it to the end consequences of the story. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK YOU DO. And the whole time, it's like sitting around in someone's living room hearing a great story.
For comic relief her 2 year expose on Russia collusion leaves this for dead.
$291m... even if you flip the numbers and add a decimal point, $19.2 it's only somewhat right :D
One explanation on that $291 million value, trump had Miss Crawly from the animation movie 'Sing' as his secretary / assistant......her eye popped out its socket, then accidentally typed "1" just after 9, before all the zeros.
It was an accident!
Time for an indictment‼️
I'm so intrigued by your reporting. Honestly I think you're the best fearless tell it as it is.
We kept trying to tell these Trump supporters he's a criminal! He's not there for you! He's there to line his pockets!!! You screwed this country Trump voters.. Thanks a lot!!
Swnsasy _ hey. Where ARE those Trump supporters?
No one in America is supposed to be above the law. Isn't that what we're told?
Then why is a slick talking con man still above the law?
Trump is very far from "slick talking". He's been above the law because for 40-45% of the population, he really could shoot someone on 5th Avenue, and they really would still support him. Those people seem to not understand, or not value, liberal democracy. By liberal democracy I mean voting is not limited to male land-owners, etc.
Those 40-45% represent majority votes in low-population red states, each of whom elect 2 senators. The Senate is going to tend Republican for many cycles to come. Probably until we fix our out-of-control capitalism, stop abandoning them as Rust Belt, deriding their homes as flyover country, etc. And above all *get the money out of politics*.
There is guilt on both sides of this hyper-partisanship.
An we thought we couldn’t LOVE Rachael any more then We did♥️
MAGA sheep: But what about Hillary's emails...
rilok919 : They stopped the, “emails,” thing, when Ivanka’s emails hit the fan. Now, they stick to, “uranium,” the Obama’s and, “Baby Killing,” even though it’s all lies, and Trump has still not accounted for the THOUSANDS of children he had KIDNAPPED. In other words, they’re very DESPERATE, and Trump’s base is shrinking; no matter how many UA-cam characters they each operate, to make their numbers look larger . . . Smh ✌️
Deflection doesn't make him innocent sweetie.
Or Obama's birth certificate 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, and how about President Obama's...

Goodbye trump assets. The banks are going to freak on Donny.

We are running out of patience to see the orange in WH. He and his children belong in the big house.
So he fudged the value by about a quarter billion, in this case around 1500%. Who hasn't done that before? Heck, if I had a dime for every time I've done it, I'd be a wealthy man.
Well if u ain't wealthy u must not be doing it right... Ijs...

Rachel Maddow is fantastic.
50 trump lackies dislike this because they can't stand the truth about individual one.
They have no eyes to see. Nor any ears to hear. That pit they digging will be for the supreme leader and themselves. Just adamn shame. Pure crazy.
He's so crooked he could slither through a french horn without touching the sides.
