  1. Love my President! ❤️🇺🇸❤️
    President Trump is so great dealing with those fake news guys—-That is why Kamala Harris refused for this kind of interviews!

  2. As a foreigner i dont have the right to cast a vote on wich to be POTUS, but i have the right to vote here in my country, and i vould surely if Trump is to win, cast vote for whoever to take our country away from crazy maga, and over to other civil and not fascistcountry

  3. The fact this only has 50k views is disheartening. I thought this was a great interview/debate and Trump made some excellent points and only wish more American’s had an economic and business focus instead of emotional reaction.

  4. I like president trump over uncle Joe but this guy for some reason is not honest he will make life hell for the working class around the world not just USA by imposing very Hugh taxes on foods, electronics, all small businesses!

    This is very scary 5 I'm Afraid, USA people are very bright couldn't have another third party in fair elections except these two cunning barbarians regimes?!

  5. He sure is a intense character. Surprised he no longer use the slogan drain the swamp.

    Looking forward to seeing his policies get enacted and how a super large economy fairs under such experiments.

  6. Trump thinks he is brilliant 😂😂😂. Smart guy😂😂😂. If he gets the WH, you have got what you asked for. BS..ter doesn't know anything.

  7. Trump is a story teller and a foibles inventor . All those applauding his stupid lies are either his family or are seeking a job from him if ever he is elected . Where is the evidence backing up his anecdotes?
    Everybody knows he is a politicking liar . Ok

  8. The Orange Chimp only talks all about HIMSELF, ME ME ME. They`re Bad to me, They`re Good to me.

    What a Waist of Time. He didn`t or couldn`t Answer 1 simple Question.

    If he gets back in Office, ONLY the RICH will benefit from it.
