Have you heard Trump describe his 'personal Vietnam?' It's vile, an affront to the very Minute Men of Concord, and outrageously unpatriotic. Look it up if you don't know, but hey, it's just one more layer of contempt, like the personal email bunk.
Being on one knee is not a sign of disrespect. Actually it is the exact opposite. A sign of respect for the truth. An American value. Trump is the only indication of any disrespect !!
Ken McIndoe actually bending the knee is a sign of *submission* , not respect. It's a fine line: we used to bend the knee before kings because they were _kings_ and we were _subjects_ . The idea that it shows respect is more how kings wanted to see it. Kneeling is a position of weakness. Putting yourself at a disadvantage is never a sign of respect, at least not between _equals_
For a guy who spouts American pride and American patriotism ...his belittling of John McCain's service to our country, speaks volumes about his character and his hypocrisy. Trump who didn't serve his country because his rich daddy got him a doctor's excuse for foot spurs. Yet, somehow, those foot spurs magically disappear when he's golfing.
2.2 to 2.5 million drafted .... but not Donald Trump. NOBODY from Trumpf clan has EVER served. Yet he has the gall to attack John McCain whose family has some 104 yrs of combined military service. Trumps' NONE since arriving in 1880's. Commander and Thief.
As a vet I respect the NFL players right to protest. I don't think they're disrespecting me or the flag. They are protesting a very real issue in our country: the unnecessary deaths of US citizens at the hand of the police. If there is a problem, it is that we haven't done enough to combat racism.

To a lazy comment. So Mr. UnAmerica, does everybody have to think and act and do everything the way YOU want things done? Is that what Josh Wilson served for?
Here's an update on that point. www.sbnation.com/lookit/2017/9/24/16357738/alejandro-villanueva-u-s-army-veteran-lone-steeler-on-field-national-anthem All vets such as Mr. Wilson and myself did not vow to serve a flag but a constitution and as such we vowed to support anyones right to free speech and to protest injustice. We may or may not like how someone protests injustice but it is why many gave all for the right of free speech. Trump equating protest to disrespect of the flag is a political tool to divide americans for his own political gain is disgusting but he has a right to say it just as the NFL players have a right to peaceful demonstration as they see fit.
Kneeling before the flag is respectful, kneeling as a means of not standing is disrespectful. And the people doing the kneeling made it clear that they did it as a way to spit on the flag.
TheoKabala89 are you a fool kneeling during the American Anthem is not the same as kneeling in church do you not get it why are you so slow I'm an independent and I don't go either way but I'm not a fool as a liberal or conservative at least I have brains to think with to figure out the obvious.
TheoKabala89 that's not the point....kneeling is supposed to be disrespectful in this instance because the nation that the flag represents is killing black people. That is the point. The aren't respecting the flag and the flag doesn't deserve their respect if it's government kills their people without justice.
This is a different kind of kneeling. They’re kneeling to tell us that the injustice of killing black folk for being black goes against what our country should be. It’s during the anthem to remind of us of history, that black people weren’t considered human, so anything could be done to us.They are protesting for black folk, they are famous and have the visibility for millions to see them make a point. Kneeling is disrespectful to people that don’t want to get what the point of it is.
I don't see how anyone can equate kneeling during the National Anthem to being disrespectful of the American flag. Or doesn't our 10th grade mean girl president realize a flag and an anthem are two different things?
Does he realize that the flag and anthem aren't about respecting the military, they're about respecting the one thing that makes America what it is, the U.S. Constitution? Does he realize that the military and all federal officers, himself included, take oaths to protect and defend not the flag or anthem but the Constitution? Does he realize that, when the military fought to defend the U.S., they weren't defending symbols like the flag and anthem, they were defending the Constitution? Do his followers understand any of these things? No, to all of the above.
the trump experiment has backfired...badly. i hope and pray we see the next three years with a little more hope and reverance than thus far.donald..the office you hold is NOT about ratings.its about doings.to date the achievments are terrible.
How about getting rid of the anthem altogether? There is no need at all for it, other than to add to the militarist patriotism of the pre-game rituals. I love how idiots now say it's not only about those who died in wartime, but also for the "first responders". Don't kneel, lest the ambulance driver who heads off to the MVA be offended. I can't stand American patriotic orthodoxy. Leave your hat on. Remain seated. Stop stroking your right nipple. Just drink another beer. Okay?
West Side Story I expected a torrent of venom but got your kind note. School prayer ended in Canada in the late 60s, which relieved me. I was a non believer even in 3rd grade. BTW I made one error. It's left nipple if proper flag protocol is followed.
thewanderandhiscomp I'm Canadian but I've heard that there are at least 4 verses and that one or more make explicit reference to slavery. So I guess I'm vaguely aware but by no means an expert. I'm generally just opposed to overdoing the whole patriotism thing, and think the U.S. has this overdone beyond other places.
Are the poor in Amerikkka more patriotic than the rich elite. The reason I ask is because more poor people enlist in the army than rich elites, even on a pro rata basis, and consequently more of them die because of that decision. The rich used their privilege to escape drafts, (Trump), and politicians get sinecures for their sons, (Bush) during war time. This patriotism lark is just a refuge for scoundrels.
I truly miss Bill Moyers Journal. He is one of the very few journalists left today who shows professionalism, rationality and unbiased perspectives of world and domestic issues. He gives me a little hope for the future of humanity.
Linden Banes Johnson said he took the position of VP with Kennedy because he saw his only way to the white house was if Kennedy was assassinated. He actually said this.
Old Wisdom It amazes me how Americans bag their past presidents. They come up with all sorts of conspiracy theories to support their claims. However, they fail to see that the present leader is by far their worst president!
Great interview and history of black athletes' protesting treatment of African Americans in our country. But I wish it had kept going. Moyers is very interesting
I wish Congress would move to take voting rights away from Troglodytes. Ooops, I guess if they did that, the presidents base would be diminished by half.
As another commenter pointed out, bending the knee is a timeless sign of reverence. Plus there's nothing quite as all-American as a tackle football player. The trigger here for this president and his supporters is not simply that three-quarters of these men are black, but they're black men with money. In the old days they'd be called "uppity." Now they use the word, ungrateful. No, I'm not calling everyone who objects to these protests racists. I honestly believe that many of these angry objectors are being triggered on an unconscious level - the essence of Trump's appeal, alas.
If Megan Kelly can't get it together give that job to Bill Moyers or Tavis Smiley. It would boost NBCs credibility as a classic serious news outlet ten fold.
In every interview I've watched, I've noticed that every well mannered intelligent guest realizes that DRUMPF by far is the WORST THING that has ever happened to the United States of America !
I've been posting my thoughts on what's mentally going on with Trump since the campaign and I'm very aware of the signs of people with narcissistic personality disorder NPD and trump is a full blown Narc. It's good to hear others and especially people with a platform to have the courage to state that. I think this can be a teachable moment for everyone on what this mental illness is, how dangerous and unpredictable these people are and why it's important that who ever runs for office should be subject to an Psychological evaluation. I think they should also show there taxes and show they have a strong understanding of how our government works and some levels of historical comprehension of foreign affairs and economics. Maybe there's more but for this job we want the best, mentally capable person. And we have an ignorant mentally ill man running this country. Shameful
So, Trump is for respecting the American Flag, National Anthem and the Constitution of The United States and to support the men and women that service or have serviced to defend it. Where was this respect when he was colluding with the Russian government and Russian operatives that were interfering with our national elections. Nothing he says is ever true, his actions speak louder then words, yet.. his words contraindicate everything he has promised during his presidential campaign, he has passed no legislation nor has he done anything that would show that he would follow through. He said things for his base supporters that believed he would keep his campaign promises. He lied to them for their votes simple as that. I, as a veteran strongly oppose everything this President stands for. He has deeply divide this nation, our Morales and values as American citizens should not allow this man to continue to represent us a citizens but as a nation. America has always been a great country well, before Donald Trump became President. It's time for our leaders on Capital Hill to say, this man will cost me my bid for re-election because I did not stand up for my constitutes or the American people against Donald Trump, this man doesn't care about the Office of The Presidency and the significance that it represents. He only cares about himself and his family and how he can enrich them all using The office of The Presidency.
Free speech is not Constitutionally protected under an employer/employee arrangement. The employer's business is private property, and his customers are his, not the employee's. See how long any other employee lasts by disrespecting and dismissing his employer's customers. Once off the employer's premises, on one's own time, is where Constitutional free speech is protected.
Bill Moyers still covering for Lyin' Lyndon after all these years. LBJ and the Generals met on the weekend of JFK's funeral and he gave them their war. JFK had signed an NSAM (National Security Action Memorandum) which stated all troops (only "advisors" and the C.I.A. were in 'Nam in '63, JFK refused his pressuring Generals ground troops), that all military personnel were to be out of "Nam by '65. Remember this fact when contemplating the JFK Assassination.
The problem with Moyer is he doesn't understand we're sick of hearing the politically correct way of our president saying "gee Wilkers Wally". Remember if we wanted a politician gor president we would have elected one.
Bill Moyers has solved the question of extra-terrestrial life. Now we have proof there are aliens. They left a 'defective' here and he got elected President. The space sounds NASA has newly received are sounds of the Universe laughing.
Trump loves to pick fights on insignificant "issues", possibly to see how many Americans will fall in line behind him. The Anthem knee issue is no different. The origin of the custom of standing during the anthem is unclear. Some believe it started during the 1918 World Series when, as the crowd rose for the 7th inning stretch, the band played the National Anthem (which was not the National Anthem until an Act of Congress in 1931). But I've never received an answer to this question: If a man shows respect by kneeling before his girl to propose, and by kneeling before a king and by kneeling before God during prayer, why is it disrespecting our flag to kneel during the National Anthem? Seems to me a far bigger disrespect to Old Glory occurred during the inaugural parade as Trump smiled and clapped as dozens of Confederate flags streamed down Pennsylvania Avenue. The Confederate flag is an enduring symbol of the many traitors who carried it into battle against the nation's army carrying Old Glory..
Why is it so hard to understand that if anyone wants to sit and not stand, or take a knee it would be OK BUT it's not OK when you are in uniform, when you are on the clock The players standing for the national anthem is part of their job, they are here to entertain, and to amuse, and they get paid millions to do that The NFL will now need to add a clause to their contracts , when in uniform, show respect
Trump is 100% right, these lowlife buffoons should be fired. How many employers would tolerate a political demonstration during working hours that affected their business.
It is said that we should not stop and throw rocks at every dog that barks if we want to reach our destination but when it comes to the clown, I just want to stop and look for the biggest rock.
Bill Moyers: former press secretary. Wonder what Sean Spicer and Sarah Huckabee will be up to in 50 years? Toll booth attendant, Walmart greeter, cab driver, migrant fruit and vegetable harvest technicians in California.
Don't Buy Bud... The owners will enforce their ethics position to respect the anthem same as they do with their uniform, player's actions and speech on the field. Jocks can protest all they want but not during our anthem on the playing field. When bottles & cans of Bud sits on the shelf for a week, this insanity will end!
Lawrence it's pronounced pea body award. Your Boston is showing. Keep the light burning bright, cast away greasy dark humours eh malairs, to remain steadfast.
Isaiah 5:20 “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” Psalms 115:2-8 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God? 3But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. 4Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. 5They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: 6They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: 7They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. 8They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.
Jeesuuus---------People will finally realize, at some point, that Trump is clueless; an alien with no class or tact. This maybe the moment...when he has to go down to Porto Rico after suggesting they all want to sit around on their duff and let other people help them. This at the same time their new tax bill gives mega tax breaks to the upper percentages....after saying....'believe me, I'm not going to benefit from this.' and conning all the people that he is on their side. Ridiculous, folks. When to run the bum out of town??
Helicopters to Puerto Rico Why the government and FEMA do not use helicopters to drop water food medicine doctors nurses shelters solar generators Why they do not use Boat 🚣 helicopters 😳
Breaking News: N Korea just bombed President Trump's personal library. Both books were completely destroyed and in a tragic twist... ...He hadn't even finished coloring them
On Point As Usual Mr.Moyers. " An Alien in The Office ". Frighteningly unnerving , and understood.
Have you heard Trump describe his 'personal Vietnam?' It's vile, an affront to the very Minute Men of Concord, and outrageously unpatriotic. Look it up if you don't know, but hey, it's just one more layer of contempt, like the personal email bunk.
komrade trumpsky's "personal Vietnam" was avoiding STDs. True! Look it up!
He is a Buffoon.
Being on one knee is not a sign of disrespect. Actually it is the exact opposite. A sign of respect for the truth. An American value. Trump is the only indication of any disrespect !!
Ken McIndoe, well said
Ken McIndoe actually bending the knee is a sign of *submission* , not respect. It's a fine line: we used to bend the knee before kings because they were _kings_ and we were _subjects_ . The idea that it shows respect is more how kings wanted to see it.
Kneeling is a position of weakness. Putting yourself at a disadvantage is never a sign of respect, at least not between _equals_
Of course, they are disrespecting the flag. They are flipping the bird to America.
Psst, Rune: "stars and bars" refers to the Confederate battle flag. Please edit.
trump 2020
Seek out everything Bill Moyers has said and done. He is a comfort and an inspiration for how to respond to evil in the world.
For a guy who spouts American pride and American patriotism ...his belittling of John McCain's service to our country, speaks volumes about his character and his hypocrisy. Trump who didn't serve his country because his rich daddy got him a doctor's excuse for foot spurs. Yet, somehow, those foot spurs magically disappear when he's golfing.
5 time draft dodging coward pretending to be an American patriot. widdle donnie had a sore foot, 5 times.
don't forget him insulting gold star parents too. The man hasn't sacrificed anything for this country.
Apparently his bone spurs didn't interfere with his tennis game, either.
Not true! Trump would have served if a golf cart had been made available to him.
Cee Montana How true. His insulting of Sen. McCain truly upset me. And it is funny how he can haul that turdbottom around the golf course!
How's plutocracy working for you America, get money out of politics.
Old Wisdom teeth
Good idea. How? The politicians in office now sure won't try to do it. Elect new people without money? Not much chance of that.
TRUMP wins again.
We need campaign finance reform. Bernie would have done it. Sigh . . . .
Old Wisdom spot on.
2.2 to 2.5 million drafted .... but not Donald Trump. NOBODY from Trumpf clan has EVER served. Yet he has the gall to attack John McCain whose family has some 104 yrs of combined military service. Trumps' NONE since arriving in 1880's. Commander and Thief.

Josh Wilson ++ As a vet too , I'm with you brother✌
Thank you for your service
You kneel to pray. You kneel to pay respects. You kneel when the Queen knight you. Kneeling is not disrespectful.
Kneeling before the flag is respectful, kneeling as a means of not standing is disrespectful. And the people doing the kneeling made it clear that they did it as a way to spit on the flag.

He is a disrespect to the entire country.
TRUMP owns you. snowflake. How does it feel.
My only complaint with this discussion is that I wish of had been much longer.
How about getting rid of the anthem altogether? There is no need at all for it, other than to add to the militarist patriotism of the pre-game rituals. I love how idiots now say it's not only about those who died in wartime, but also for the "first responders". Don't kneel, lest the ambulance driver who heads off to the MVA be offended. I can't stand American patriotic orthodoxy. Leave your hat on. Remain seated. Stop stroking your right nipple. Just drink another beer. Okay?
Jim Carlson that's so funny,but so true! I stopped singing the anthem,when they stopped prayer in schools. ONE LOVE, RESIST!!!
West Side Story I expected a torrent of venom but got your kind note. School prayer ended in Canada in the late 60s, which relieved me. I was a non believer even in 3rd grade. BTW I made one error. It's left nipple if proper flag protocol is followed.
Actually, that's the left nipple they stroke with their right hand (hand over heart).

I noticed my error earlier but I'm glad you noticed too. A guy would need to be a real maverick to go right!

Bill Moyers, I have followed him for decades. A true icon.
insightful interview. could have been longer. we need more of this
well said Bill!!
Are the poor in Amerikkka more patriotic than the rich elite. The reason I ask is because more poor people enlist in the army than rich elites, even on a pro rata basis, and consequently more of them die because of that decision. The rich used their privilege to escape drafts, (Trump), and politicians get sinecures for their sons, (Bush) during war time. This patriotism lark is just a refuge for scoundrels.
As a Vietnam veteran I swear to protect and defend the constitution. And freedom of speech is the 1 st ammendment
James M Flanagan You guys won that war. You set out to stop the spread of communism and you succeeded spectacularly. Thank you soldiers.
Bill Moyers is WRONG about Trump's anger "getting the best of him"--THERE IS NO "BEST" IN TRUMP!!!
Bill Moyers is proof that Americans can produce good people. And from Bill, I take hope.
Trump has a bone spur.I like presidents who don't have bone spurs #BRAVE
Bill Moyers right up there with Walter Cronkite....
I support the players and I support sending Trump to the looney bin!!!!!
Check out my President in Prison cartoon:).
The NFL and the players are free to protest in whatever fashion they choose and those of us who disagree with them will simply stop watching.
Bill Moyers...goin' in !!
Keep wishing I'll will on Trump and we will keep electing conservative voices to represent the true values and feeling of the American people
I truly miss Bill Moyers Journal. He is one of the very few journalists left today who shows professionalism, rationality and unbiased perspectives of world and domestic issues. He gives me a little hope for the future of humanity.

WHO CARES?
Only komrade trumpsky's supporters deflect to other presidents
illegal alien or space alien ?or a character from "Aliens "?
They have "voted" in a major fool !!!
Great interview and history of black athletes' protesting treatment of African Americans in our country. But I wish it had kept going. Moyers is very interesting
I wish Congress would move to take voting rights away from Troglodytes. Ooops, I guess if they did that, the presidents base would be diminished by half.
Try reading the Constitution of the United States!
Trump has brought the NFL to its knees! Well said
What do dump defenders or fox news say about him getting out of going to Vietnam? i am assuming they just ignore it?
Well worded “an alien in the White House” by Bill Moyers
As another commenter pointed out, bending the knee is a timeless sign of reverence. Plus there's nothing quite as all-American as a tackle football player. The trigger here for this president and his supporters is not simply that three-quarters of these men are black, but they're black men with money. In the old days they'd be called "uppity."

If Megan Kelly can't get it together give that job to Bill Moyers or Tavis Smiley. It would boost NBCs credibility as a classic serious news outlet ten fold.
Bill Moyer is from another time and place that is going away.. Welcome to the new world kiddies!
Donald J Trump is angry because he's Donald J Trump.
Hey Moyers gimme a cigarette.
He really is an Alien the best description about Trump
More people need to come out and publicly denounce this cowardly liar in the White House.
Drumph has no "best" - his anger, his arrogance, his ignorance, etc., is all he has - President Agent Orange is pathetic.
When this first started, Barry said nothing. He didn't know until he heard it from the press.
In every interview I've watched, I've noticed that every well mannered intelligent guest realizes that DRUMPF by far is the WORST THING that has ever happened to the United States of America !
Who dusted off this relic? Remember this, you can't pollish a turd.
Chris, I love your program, but please change the style of your promotion at the end.
Always likes Bill Moyers, now not so MUCH GO TRUMP!!!!! Continue DECONSTRUCTION GO USA!!!
now I want to see Trump in a mosh pit
I've been posting my thoughts on what's mentally going on with Trump since the campaign and I'm very aware of the signs of people with narcissistic personality disorder NPD and trump is a full blown Narc. It's good to hear others and especially people with a platform to have the courage to state that. I think this can be a teachable moment for everyone on what this mental illness is, how dangerous and unpredictable these people are and why it's important that who ever runs for office should be subject to an Psychological evaluation. I think they should also show there taxes and show they have a strong understanding of how our government works and some levels of historical comprehension of foreign affairs and economics. Maybe there's more but for this job we want the best, mentally capable person. And we have an ignorant mentally ill man running this country. Shameful
So, Trump is for respecting the American Flag, National Anthem and the Constitution of The United States and to support the men and women that service or have serviced to defend it. Where was this respect when he was colluding with the Russian government and Russian operatives that were interfering with our national elections. Nothing he says is ever true, his actions speak louder then words, yet.. his words contraindicate everything he has promised during his presidential campaign, he has passed no legislation nor has he done anything that would show that he would follow through. He said things for his base supporters that believed he would keep his campaign promises. He lied to them for their votes simple as that. I, as a veteran strongly oppose everything this President stands for. He has deeply divide this nation, our Morales and values as American citizens should not allow this man to continue to represent us a citizens but as a nation. America has always been a great country well, before Donald Trump became President. It's time for our leaders on Capital Hill to say, this man will cost me my bid for re-election because I did not stand up for my constitutes or the American people against Donald Trump, this man doesn't care about the Office of The Presidency and the significance that it represents. He only cares about himself and his family and how he can enrich them all using The office of The Presidency.
Bill Moyers is such a statesman. Happy to be here for him but since that tirade posted I won't watch Lawrence again.
Oh please. He had a tirade. He isn't president. Who cares..
It's now the only reason I watch Lawrence. More tirades.
Your presence here self evidently belies your comment.
C.M. Hansen hahaha love Larry. I've been irritated like that on more than one occasion.
Free speech is not Constitutionally protected under an employer/employee arrangement. The employer's business is private property, and his customers are his, not the employee's. See how long any other employee lasts by disrespecting and dismissing his employer's customers. Once off the employer's premises, on one's own time, is where Constitutional free speech is protected.
The lies of Vietnam, Iraq... such lies don't just go away.
You are Americans in the land of the free and brave, how can you allow this terrible man to be your president?
He is an angry man. Has anyone ever seen 45 laugh or even smile spontaneously? That is of course excluding sadistic laughing or smiling.
Bill Moyers still covering for Lyin' Lyndon after all these years. LBJ and the Generals met on the weekend of JFK's funeral and he gave them their war.

Two unabashed hypocrites discussing Donald Trump.
The problem with Moyer is he doesn't understand we're sick of hearing the politically correct way of our president saying "gee Wilkers Wally". Remember if we wanted a politician gor president we would have elected one.
Thats sad that it had to take his own kids in jeopardy in order to take a peacful action. Makes me sick!
Bill Moyers has solved the question of extra-terrestrial life. Now we have proof there are aliens. They left a 'defective' here and he got elected President. The space sounds NASA has newly received are sounds of the Universe laughing.

Seems to me a far bigger disrespect to Old Glory occurred during the inaugural parade as Trump smiled and clapped as dozens of Confederate flags streamed down Pennsylvania Avenue. The Confederate flag is an enduring symbol of the many traitors who carried it into battle against the nation's army carrying Old Glory..
Why is it so hard to understand that if anyone wants to sit and not stand, or take a knee
it would be OK
BUT it's not OK when you are in uniform, when you are on the clock
The players standing for the national anthem is part of their job, they are here to entertain, and to amuse, and they get paid millions to do that
The NFL will now need to add a clause to their contracts , when in uniform,
show respect
WHERE IS MUELLER !!!!!!!!!!????????
Luis Suarez....he is with the shadow government betraying our country.
Trump is 100% right, these lowlife buffoons should be fired. How many employers would tolerate a political demonstration during working hours that affected their business.
It is said that we should not stop and throw rocks at every dog that barks if we want to reach our destination but when it comes to the clown, I just want to stop and look for the biggest rock.
"WOW" an alien in the white house ! "something 2 think about y'all"
the painful thing is not that trump is president, rather its that a substantial percentage of fellow citizens are pathologically stupid.
I think the phrase you were looking for is "Verbal Diarrhea"

Useless senseless WAR.
Too many Jews are in power positions; too many Puerto Ricans are free-loading on the tax-paying, citizens of the USA...
ovni4036 they pay the same taxes in Puerto Rico that you do and are American citizens just like you so get a grip
Angry? Rocket man? Such a child!!
Don't Buy Bud... The owners will enforce their ethics position to respect the anthem same as they do with their uniform, player's actions and speech on the field. Jocks can protest all they want but not during our anthem on the playing field. When bottles & cans of Bud sits on the shelf for a week, this insanity will end!
Angry at being impotent
Bill Moyer is nothing less than a great man thank you....
Lawrence it's pronounced pea body award. Your Boston is showing. Keep the light burning bright, cast away greasy dark humours eh malairs, to remain steadfast.
An angry white man in the White House. Heaven help us!

Psalms 115:2-8 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God? 3But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. 4Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. 5They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: 6They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: 7They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. 8They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.
Jeesuuus---------People will finally realize, at some point, that Trump is clueless; an alien with no class or tact. This maybe the moment...when he has to go down to Porto Rico after suggesting they all want to sit around on their duff and let other people help them. This at the same time their new tax bill gives mega tax breaks to the upper percentages....after saying....'believe me, I'm not going to benefit from this.' and conning all the people that he is on their side. Ridiculous, folks. When to run the bum out of town??
I"m glad President Trump is outspoken about the values which makes up the fabric of our great country. If we survive obama, the USA must be great.
Governors can be recalled by the people of a state, why not presidents? Just asking.

Time Traveler Trump. Back to the future was based on him.
You can tell the quest is from a different era of America's history. His speech patterns are different.
I watch the leftist media and I have watched and listened to the same crap since the 70s. How has this helped us?
