    Americans should remember the repubs who crawled into the sewer with trump when they should have stood up for their country.
    We need to keep the focus on all these bozos who are abetting his attack on our democratic institutions and do all we can to kick them out of government too.
    If not, they will continue to try to drag the country down to their level.

    Those GOP Members will be called out.

    But, nothing will happen.

    Because as long as Trump lives, he (with very few exceptions) owns every elected member of the GOP (all the way from Podunk Dogcatcher to the GOP Senate Leadership).

    Looks like Trump is prepared to punish American taxpayers with a 60 day golf extravaganza ... he's already spent over $110 million of
    taxpayer money on golf - looks like he is going to try and double that.

    Trump's National Debt increase for 4 years is going to tie Obama's 8 year totals.

    I'm hoping that the round of legal indictments coming his way for sexual predation, tax fraud and God knows what else will turn more and more people against him as they discover the depths of his corruption and degeneracy.
    I don't think he will be a player by the next election. Too many repubs hate him and will knife him in the back politically the minute they can. Apart from Rudy, trump has no friends, and with friends like Rudy, you don't need enemies.

    How any legal problems play out (now that he no longer enjoys the protective cloak of the Office) will be very interesting.

    As long as he isn't barred from seeking Public Office (as part of a Court proceeding) and he is healthy, I wouldn't (positively) rule out a 2024 run.

    So right or wrong, what did he miss? What grand plan does the leaders of the world have that will rid us of this plague?

    You didn’t answer the question. What did a bunch of wealthy bureaucrats accomplish that is saving the world? The only ones that have accomplished anything significant are 2 evil pharma corps, that leftists despise.

    The world will continue to trade. With or without us.
    Depends if we want to be a world leader or not.
    Sounds like you want us to sit out while the world moves on

    Sure I did.. the grand plan to solve COVID is to have Trump play more golf...

    Also, I sort of insinuated Trump is a worse plague than COVID....

    See what I did there?? Two insults in one post...

    Not really. He has never done any presidential duties. He's done duties that are good for the Trump brand but not for the American people.

    Almost right. The first thing is to faithfully execute the office of president of the united states. Oh, and by the way, no one said he had to defend the G20. Only you.

    Maybe you should back up a little. How about everyone that wants to be tested should get tested. We are still FAR behind in testing.

    This argument is hilarious. All other president's refused to meet with North Korea so as not to legitimize them but Trump does for a simple photo op and you want to give him the Nobel Peace Prize yet to meet with our 20 most important allies.....nah. Not if doesn't want to. He just wasn't "feeling" it.

    It certainly is here - it is in our criminal code

    “Duty to supply necessities”

    And quite frankly it would have Trump over a barrel

    https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Neglect

    now THAT would be interesting - a class action against Trump in relation to his handling of the pandemic
