Pres. Trump said Thursday he has the 'absolute right, perhaps even a duty' to ask 'other countries' to investigate corruption. Does he?

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.

Yes, he does. His political opponents stop at nothing to investigate him. Even using foreign sources. Everything is allowed if we open the truth.

Absolutely not

Absolutely correct. If the corruption is committed beyond the geographical boundaries of the state, what is the problem in seeking help from the foreign counterparts?

NO! It’s an abuse of power for personal gain.

No, not if it is a con, where the primary objective is self political gain .

I hope soon trump you join your past team mates in prison for your corruption of our country

He does

Who gives a flying f%ck if people think he does - IT’S ILLEGAL. Cite the section of the Constitutional that he’s violating instead of playing clickbait poll for Christ’s sake!!

You have no right to anything. You shouldn't even be there and with the Grace of God, you won't be much longer.

You’re seriously posing this question?

We have a treaty that pledges such coordination!

Another

AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND THE GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA ON MUTUAL LEGAL ASSISTANCE IN CRIMINAL MATTERS says he does have the authority to work w/ Chinese gov’t to investigate corruption. ☺️

He's a dangerous autocrat.

Whatever he do the crazy will go along with him and if everybody that got eyes and ears can see how they letting Trump hurt the USA and making this country look we ain't nothing but a bunch of clowns that don't no how to run a country

Unbelievable!

He’s needs to shut up. Reminds me of Bush. Mass destruction was the reason for Iraq and when they were wrong, well, terrorism was the spin.Look at the world now. All ethnicities are against each other. Honestly, there are radicals in all ethnicities, unite as one and care/others

Hell no

No, you don’t ask other countries to do anything for us !!!!! We do things for ourselves. No other nations need to be involved with United States matters. There isn’t any corruption, other than the act of asking other countries to do favors for You, Trump !!!!

Apparently he does as long as the Republican senate is full if men with no cojones. Men who are scaredy-cats and are afraid of being called a name by a bully. Thought most of us outgrow that. I was wrong. Republican senators are whimps

Yes he dies.. especially if they are corrupt and are asking for help from the US government.

Yup

What kind of question is that. Of course not!

realDonaldTrump LindseyGrahamSC senatemajldr RudyGiuliani JaySekulow Adam Schiff can not be witness&prosecutor. Adam Schiff provided information to the whistleblower how to destroy Trump presidency. Adam Schiff must be removed&thrown out of congress.

BULLSH*T! He has no such “absolute”right. On the contrary, US law forbids him from using his power to solicit foreign governments to contribute (including propaganda research) to his personal political campaign.

pres. Trump said, There is so much evidence against Vice President Biden that we are now past the point Of probable cause. Biden is finished.

DUH ITS HIS JOB CORUPTION IS ONLY LIKED BY THOSE CORUPTING.. AKA ALL DEMOCRATS

And MSNBC keep showing this an effort to drive it home with people who are undecided. They did the same thing against Hillary. I stopped watching most of this cable news a long time ago. It is so slanted against any person running against Trump.

Nope!

He needs to investigate himself first

He’s trying to generalize his statement in order to justify his actions. The corrupt Biden claim has been debunked and yet Trump still puts it out there because he wants his political rival investigated. Pretty clearly violating his Constitutional oath. People see thru his BS

President Gaslight.

When will media stop taking anything that man says seriously? He’s a pathological liar, narcissist to the extreme

Of course Trump is going to say this over and over again so his base believes it! Guess what Trump the majority of Americans are intelligent and can see right thru you bull crap lies! What you did was WRONG no matter how many times you try to state the opposite!

SpeakerPelosi taking the fight for our democracy.GOPLeader senatemajldr corrupt Trump need to boot out the people house. He disgrace American people. CNN ABC CBS FoxNews NBCNews

Absolutely!!!

Nope . Not true .

Trump was investigated....not by Obama...by the US intelligence agencies because 170 contacts were made with the Trump team and Russian linked operatives that included 28 meetings.

He’s not smart enuf to follow the lead of Richard Nixon (the other crook in chief). — resign- have Pence pardon him — and save ur family from Jail an more scandal ... really cares about Family NOT

HE thinks HE has the right to do ANYTHING. HE is such a DANGER to this country 😔

Trump is a lying criminal p.o.s

Not unlike the right and duty of Congress to investigate potential wrong doing and corruption of the president.

So why not have the FBI do your dirty work instead of Rudy Giuliani? Because that would be illegal.

He’s asking foreign countries to investigate a US citizen Hell no I don’t think that’s right

We have the absolute right to see him go.

If he is asking they do a background check on him, then so be it. But we know that's not the case and will not be.we further know his motives. 2016 out in the open.

Dumbass might have a point of the person he asking them to investigate wasn't a current political opponent of his.... God damn. How many times does it need to be said? We're all just repeating ourselves to each other & to people with their heels dug into their willful ignorance

Um, isn’t that typically handled by the Justice Department and/or the various applicable investigative agencies, rather than POTUS and his PERSONAL attorney? Honestly, this gets more surreal every hour.

Don’t waste our time with this. It’s BS. Of course he doesn’t. Stop legitimizing an insane con man. Impeachment cannot come quickly enough.

No👉you don’t!

Trump doesn’t have “the absolute right” to do anything re: his duties as POTUS. He chooses his words carefully to reflect his belief (or wishful thinking) in his own status.

NO! He has no 'absolute' anything! He uses the term b/c it makes him feel like a monarch or dictator. Don't encourage him.

Absolutely YES

Not for personal political benefit and when approved American aide is withheld .

Absolutely not.

realDonaldTrump Have you asked Russia to investigate their own corruption? No? Why not? Have you asked Saudi Arabia to investigate their own corruption? No? Why not? We're still waiting for the Saudis to tell us where are the remains of Khashoggi! Remember him? You looked away.

Absolutely YES!

But he can’t be investigated by USA for all of his corruption? Hmmmm

Yes

🤦‍♀️

That’s what he does, he’ll keep saying that expecting a certain % of people to believe it ......and sadly......they will

No. Full stop.

No.

Not in the way and for the reasons Trump has done it. Certainly, there are times we need foreign cooperation, but there is policy in place to accomplish that to insure there is no quid pro quo or other illegalities.

Not the way he goes about it!

Sure and illegal

Wrong

If there are no consequences he can literally do whatever he wants.

Ummmm no he doesn’t. He is a traitor and have abused his power and the Constitution of the USA. He swore an Oath to protect the Constitution against all Foreign or Domestic Enemy’s. All he has done is break everything and lies to the people of the USA.

YES HE DOES HE IS CHIEF IN COMMAND AND VERY SOON THERE WILL BE MANY DEMOCRATS GOING TO PRISON NO MATTER WHAT THE FLAKE BASE THEY HAVE .

No, he has a right to the American people to choose the electorate. We let him be president even though he had foreign help.

NO NO NO NO NO

No he does not!

Of course NOT.

Don’t fall for his spin!!!

hardball We do need to investigate corruption and it should start in his own backyard.

There’s a problem if you need to ask!!!

Asking to help his corruption can’t win on his own

No.

Don't normalize it. It's ImpeachTheMFTraitor time.

Trump's notion of 'foreign influence' is brown people fleeing political persecution or entering the U.S. as de facto guest workers to do jobs no Americans want. Dictators of foreign countries are, in his view, just dudes you make deals with to cheat your way into power.

In 2018, 34 new trademark created by the Chinese. and out of that 34, 16 of those went to Ivanka Trump. We should be looking into this, because it very obvious that she got those trademarks because of her father position. CorruptionTrump

Hell yes!!!

No he doesn’t! And he’s asking them to investigate his political rivals, NOT corruption. Get a grip MSNBC🙄.

US taxpayers had paid millions of dollars to Trump for his and his family visits at Mar-a-lago and other Trump hotels. How corrupt is that?

Yes, starting with his own.

Impeach now.. then put him on trial, charge him with treason and be done with the whole lot of them.

Also, since when has the tangerine tyrant ever taken his 'duties' seriously?

Of course he does, it's the only way to drain the swamp.

Yes

No, and particularly when it’s only his political opponents

When the President of the United States declares openly 'I have the absolute right' I hear 'My daddy said I could' Well, Donald, he's dead And so is your presidency

hardball Absolutely not.

Seriously? No

Yes. Next question.

Corrupt cult leader claims that he has special super powers to fight corruption all over the globe.

hardball We the people think so yes. If not, how do we stop people like Hunter Biden from receiving $50K a month for being on a board they he knows nothing about. It's pretty simple. Biden even bragged about getting the Prosecutor fired.

No

no he does not. PLEASE read the damned Constitution.

No!!

Nope

Why wouldn’t we the tax payers want to know the truth?

No. I'm not even 🇺🇸 and I seeming know your laws better than your President if he thinks this can be an excuse for his crimes. He withheld US tax payer $ in the form of aide/Military, extorting a foreign government to intervene in US elections. Abuse of power and disgraceful!

The answer is no. Why even post this bullshit that 'both sides' it as a question.
