  3. More French commentary on things they know nothing about. US inflation actually slowed to 2.7% in November. Are there any Europeans left that actually tell the truth about America and all we’ve done for you and the world that you’ve clearly taken for granted the past 100 years! Doesn’t seem like it!

  4. As a U.S. citizen I knew his speech would his usual tirade of ridiculousness. And yet his supporters will still gobble it up. Him and his supporters appear to live in a fantasy land where their most unhinged ideas are true. Sad times we live in.

  5. Just a reminder inflation under Biden

  7. We Tha People: Shall not abide by a gods rule of law.
    He was elected. He did not inherit. The Government is not his family title.
    Freemans Law. ( Mans Law)
    The Religious are confused.
    They are all employed by the people. They need to learn there places in that occupation.

  8. The good news is that if Trump has to take early retirement from the presidency, he can take over Russia's Lavrov's post. There will be no noticeable drop in the lying.

  9. We do not fully support Trump or his administration. religion shall only dictate members of that religion. No authority over the public.

  16. Trump's tariffs were haphazardly planned at best. We can't grow coffee in America, or tea, or bananas, or acai, or cocoa for chocolate, or cinnamon, or cloves, or nutmeg, and the list goes on, yet those items are still highly tariffed, driving prices through the roof. The man does not think before acting. That's why we, as Americans, had to endure the whole Stormy Daniels debacle along with his other numerous felonies.
