@realDonaldTrump
How dare the supposed leader of our country post a deliberately edited & doctored video that he knows to be false in an attempt to insult another elected official? Have you no shame, no integrity, and most of all, no respect for the people of this country and the office you hold?

39 years ago today - Saturday, July 13th, 1985 - it was scorching hot inside JFK Stadium in Philadelphia. I was there with a TV crew to shoot the biggest concert of the 80s, Live Aid. For everyone there & watching around the world, it was unforgettable. Did you tune in that day?

OMG-there's a little kid from a small town in England with tears in his eyes as he types this in total disbelief. If only Mum & Dad were here to share this with me - a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Never in a 1000 years did I think this honor would come my way. Thank you.

We just lost Shannen Doherty to cancer. She was only 53. She was a little kid when I worked with her on Girls Just Want To Have Fun, and went on to have mega TV success with 90120. Shannen passed away surrounded by her loved ones and her doggy, Bowie. So sad and much too young.

It's always about you, isn't it? Your office is meant to be about the people, to be bigger than just the occupant. A truly great president once said “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.” You could learn a lot from that.

I'm sorry, but this man is a disgusting, racist pig. If you plan on voting for this misogynistic con man who only cares about himself and nothing about our country and its citizens, then you must question your own morals, patriotism, and racial bias.

Great speech from President Biden about loving America more than the office or power. That is what a true leader is all about. The torch has been passed. Not let's work to elect Kamala Harris, preserve women's rights, elevate the middle class, and save democracy. Register to vote

Whether you like Hillary Clinton or not, there is zero argument that she was (and remains) 100% right about everything she said here about trump. If only the country had listened; we would be a better place and still the UNITED States of America. He only cares about himself.
In my opinion, this was one of the most complete, SAVAGE breakdowns of trump's bullshit "rigged" accusations anyone has ever done.
Hillary Clinton was right about everything.

If anyone here would vote for trump in 2024, you are on the wrong feed. As the Jan 6th Committee and all their Republican witnesses have said under oath, never has there been such a threat to democracy as trump poses. He has lied, threatened and caused anarchy and death.
