  1. What Trump has done with his Sharpie can easily be undone. Millions of people just need to unsubscribe from Google until they put the name back to lake Ontario. Please unsubscribe now.

  2. Why is trump still in office of president of the united states is it because they enjoy trump in his lies do or can theses peoples that listen to trump do they or he or she sleep at night or are they like trump getting up early in the morning before the sun rise because his lies want let him sleep

  3. Not a BIG difference between the Blues and the Reds is there?? Trump is going to stay in power after the half terms, I guarantee it!! He and his Oligarch friends now have more money than the U.S. government. Civil war IS on the way, but Trump will be in a bunker somewhere and still in control

  4. The entirely Republican led Cabinet, Congress even SCOTUS, have abdicated their Presidential oversight role to protect our Country, (and the World), from a seriously mentally and/or physically impaired President.
    Natalie Harp, our generations "Edith Wilson", who has her own mental health issues, is sequestered with Trump during his waking hours. Reportedly, Stephen Miller, has been asking Harp to help him persuade Trump on different issues, in this they seem to have a grossly outsized influence on Trump.

    Congress, needs to subpoena Natalie Harp, and at some point Stephen Miller, to under oath find out the extent of the influence, and the extent of Trump's impairment behind closed doors.

  5. It is outright laughable that Trump believes he has any right to unilaterally change the name of something just because he feels like it! You need to earn the right to do so.

  6. Pathetic is our " president," smart are the people who strategically financed Trump and supports his antics, stupid are Trump's rascist, insecure, American supporters who are throughly used. Shame on this country, too small, greed, immoral and without conscience, willingly further divide and destroy the future of a " democratic" country.

  7. MacArthur? Wasn't there something about the “Bonus War”? And what about Korea? The crossing of the 38th parallel that he ordered. In both cases, he acted against the orders of his supreme commander…

  8. Did you catch Lawrence's Freudian slip at 8:02? "Natalie Trump". That says it all. Natalie Harp is effectively more Trump's wife than Melania. Nevertheless, all brain cells between them cannot produce the equivalent of one rational working brain with good judgment. Lawrence, you're a genius.

  9. It always autoplays Lawrence O videos, and I'm always embarrassed watching this dope put on a mirrored version of Glenn Beck or Bill O'Reilly. Is this really journalism? Watching this guy lay it on so damned thick?

  10. Dumb dumb diaper donnie doo doo pants 👖; doesn't realize; Canada is part of Americ too, and so is Mexico, Central America and even South America, there ALL America 🇺🇸

  11. Lawrence, did you mean it was to be renamed Lake Egotisitical T. Ronald DUMP … ??? Jist Inquireing …. and i support da DUMPSTER . point …..0000000000000000000111 PERCENT and i LUVS A TACO work that one out MAGA MORONS …. and I luv how Natalie Harp HUMILIATES Milania …

  12. Even hypothetically putting Donald Trump in a uniform when he was a five-time draft Dodger and insulted a POW is genuinely one of the most despicable things. If you are a vet and voted for him, I hope you lose your health care and any disability you fleeced.

  13. Trump CIA special forces have got an American citizen in as dictator in Colombia and he has opened Columbia to American control and economic exploitation. Trump believes he owns the Americans. El Salvador's not doing too well. I wonder which oligarch's got his eye on that.

  14. Now that i think about it i feel like this is Afghanistan once again. especialy about the part about a radical regime taking power… soooo …yeahhh… Afghanistan once again.

  15. Canadian here.Thanks Lawrence . I love listening to youre take on all this BS south of the border.
    The USA needs more journalist like you that isnt afraid to report the truth! Keep it going!
