It's even worse than making money while initiating an illegal war. Russia is providing intelligence to Iran to hit American targets, yet Trump just ended the oil & gas sanctions against Russia AND then called Putin to 'check in'. I'm sorry, but the only reason this man ran for president was to stay out of jail for treason.... among the many other federal and state and civil laws that he's broken...because Mueller had all the evidence that would have put Trump in jail for the rest of his life. He is Putin's patsy and does Russia's bidding at the expense of America! The only reason he has launched two illegal attacks on two sovereign nations is because of the Epstein files.
The US and Israel are rogue nations run by corrupt psycho-sociopaths. The world needs to stop letting itself be held hostage by these terrorists and fight back against them. Trump and Netanyahu are guilty of crimes against humanity and should be arrested.
Self-aggrandizement — his name on everything. So history will remember him the way it remembers other monsters. He is exactly who he appears to be: not one redeeming quality. Zero. Nada.
I agree that the acts Trump is taking are despicable and most probably completely illegal, but I’m surprised that you, Dan, are surprised at what he’s doing. Trump would copyright U.S. money if he thought it remotely he could get away with it. Trump sees the world as if it were a game of Monopoly, where you don’t win until you have ALL of the money the other players started out with. We’re dealing with President Mob Boss.
Only my trust in God is keeping me steady. Only my faith that some day we will have honest and caring and law abiding leadership again is keeping me sane.
I think it's kind of like drugs in that way. A drug addict rarely makes a decision to give up his/her soul for an addiction. But it gets chipped away a little at a time every time they tell themselves "I'll just do it one more time" They make a decision that a little bit of soul is worth it for the next buzz. And before they know it, it's all gone. No more soul.
There is no end game. Only obsession over the next high, and that next high will certainly be "the one". It's the same with power and money, "I'll just make it to the next level and THEN I'll be satisfied" But that satisfaction never really comes, no matter how much they have.
I can’t believe the desecration going on along with the money making of this admin. I remember years ago when my parent took me to a concert at the Kennedy Center. One of my best memories. My Mom and Dad told me stories from the days when they hung with President Kennedy and his family when still a senator. Later as I grew I came to know Bobby Kennedy and his kids including Robert jr. he was a wild kid then and now. History has sure changed for the worse as of now!
Obama understood the demographics of the Iranian population. Given a little taste of what living in a modernized nation with a secular government that isn't interested in punishing every other nation with a different predominant religion (and even ones who do) is like, they would likely by now have gained their own freedom from the oppression of their very own government, with some positive support from the rest of a world that's had enough. Freedom earned is priceless. Now, we must turn our own attention to earning our freedom from the oppression of our own nefarious government. We must remember and envision what this nation can be like, without the likes of His Supreme Nastiness and all of his Court. This is the war that we must be fighting, for the soul of our very own nation. This is OUR nation, with justice and freedom for all, and we must never forget it.
Thank you, Mr. Rather, for continuing to be a journalist of integrity and great intellectual respect for the public. I fear you are peerless at this particular moment in history.
It’s the same old story Dan, the mob boss will continue to rape and murder our people and others around the world because he can. Of course prices of everything will go up but so what???!! It doesn’t effect the billionaires and here’s my biggest question to you and everyone at the White House, if he’s breaking the law and doing all these things illegally WHY isn’t someone issuing an arrest order??? If we blatantly break the law we are arrested and prosecuted. WHY?WHY? What this tells me is NOBODY at the White House is doing anything so they’re all just as guilty and are breaking the laws too! WORTHLESS GUTLESS COWARDS…end of story
I keep saying WHY is this all allowed to be happening also. Nothing makes sense and I've been around for 86 years. I hope and pray I live to see this whole regime FALL and FALL HARD.

total, unabridged asshole

I'm an older American and making plans to leave. What happened to us? What happened to our values? How were you
raised?
Forget Trump. He is scum. Is power worth selling your soul?
Speaking of leaving, I recently heard that not since the Great Depression did more people moved out of the US in 2025 than moved in.
"Is power worth selling your soul?"

Gasoline was $8.29 a gallon in Los Angeles CA yesterday. And there should be NO merchandise ANYWHERE with his name on it 😡
Perhaps the "Trump 250" refers to his weight?

It is endless and nauseating. His sons, siblings son-in-law and now granddaughter have joined Donald.
It’s all about $$$ and of course being the greatest and best president ever! Not!
Keep speaking truth Dan!
Steady is the perfect name for Dan's perspective.
I bet when you started Steady you never thought the USA could become this unsteady. Thank you for being there for us.
Well spoken, Ricki.
