Trump accuses Dems of 'treasonous' behavior

President Trump on Monday accused Democrats of "treasonous" behavior during his State of the Union address, escalating partisan tensions during a crucial stretch for Congress.

Trump took aim at Democratic lawmakers who refused to applaud during his speech last week when he mentioned his achievements during his first year in office, a reaction he called “un-American.”

"Can we call that treason? Why not?" the president said during a speech in Ohio. "They certainly didn't seem to love our country very much."

Trump signaled that Democrats’ refusal to cheer “very positive news” in his speech, such as low unemployment rates for Hispanics and African-Americans, will make it difficult for him to work with them on government spending and immigration.

1. Of course he did, his base now thinks we are all traitors for not approving of the traitor

[mpcamb]

27. Well, traitordom is an area he's well versed in...

[Hortensis]

40. Already did. THIS shows TheRealDonald off to those who

don't chug right wing Kool-Aid. The word "treason" has travel power, reaching out even to those who prefer not to pay attention.

Love it.

[bucolic_frolic]

2. Medicate him

Sick, twisted, demented mind

[icymist]

5. Applaud!

[raccoon]

3. Never thought I'd see the day that POTUS said something so fucking stupid

And disrespectful.

[FakeNoose]

35. I hope somebody explains to Cheeto what "treason" means

Apparently he doesn't know.

[JDC]

4. He is projecting again. This is his way of getting ahead of it

[MiniMe]

6. The treason is saying that lawmakers must clap for him

Remember "free speech" Donald? That includes freedom not to clap

[icymist]

7. Applaud!

[ailsagirl]

8. "Said the pot to the kettle"

[icymist]

11. Applaud!

[ailsagirl]

15. Thank you! Not terribly original but very fitting

[icymist]

20. Eh, I try.

[ffr]

9. Yup, that would be me pResident sh*thole.

RESIST!

[Pachamama]

10. That is it as far as I am concerned- When are AMERICAN PATRIOTS (regardless of Party) going to start

....actually calling out who is REALLY GUILTY of TREASONOUS BEHAVIOUR?




And who is the real LIAR?

I wish that Adam Schiff could sue Trump.... Adam Schiff is honorable and a patriot and how fucking dare that Treasonous Traitor Trump who conspired and worked with the Russians to steal an election and to launder money for the Russian Oligarchs and also smear the name of heros and patriots in the FBI who want to protect our Nation from enemies like the Russians, get to say such things!!!!

I am so disgusted.....we are about to crash into a constitutional crisis....

What side are people on? Know the side you choose America....

The United States or Russia?

[onetexan]

12. forget clapping, try flipping him the bird

like some protesters did when passing his hotel at one protest event. I will also add next SOTU that ALL DEMS should boycott attending this charade to stick it to the bastard.

[Cold War Spook]

32. Either that,

or all the dems should clap for him. As soon as he says one word they should all stand up and applaud. Then when he starts talking again stand up and applaud. Even better still they should shout at him and tell him he is wrong at everything he says. I mean really, put on a show. Why can't our Congress be like some parliaments where they not only yell at each other but fight.

[Initech]

13. Go blow it out your ass, Trump.

[Cha]

18. he is

[htuttle]

14. More projection...

[democrank]

16. Dear Leader applauded for himself during the SOTU

so maybe Democrats concluded there was way too much clapping going on. Good call.

[Cha]

17. Asshole whining 'cause Dems didn't

clap for a Russian agent.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

37. just whining for attention

He thrives on adulation and anger.

Ridicule makes him get more outrageous.
He should be ridiculed and ostracized as the brat bully that he is. Look at what makes him lash out. Push enough buttons and even the cultists will see how unhinged he is.

[truthisfreedom]

19. Hey 45! Go learn the lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner, you commie!

Putin didn't require you to learn them, did he? An oversight in his preparations for your Manchurian candidacy.

[paleotn]

21. Where is this guy from? Freaking Bell and Howell?

projector extraordinaire.

[Angry Dragon]

22. Trump has a very sick mind

[47of74]

23. Fuck him.

Donnie Butt Plugs and all his GOP groupies can kiss my ASS if they don't like my attitude about him.

[regnaD kciN]

24. Which is more treasonous...

...conspiring with a hostile foreign power for aid in getting elected in exchange for favoring their aims, or refusing to applaud the SOTU?

The unfortunate answer is: whichever of the two those with total governmental power deem to be treason.

[The Wizard]

25. The world according to Trump

Democrats not clapping for him = treason.
His Vietnam was avoiding the clap.

[Bengus81]

26. Meet Paul Ryan---TRAITOR!!!!

[dalton99a]

31. Bingo

[Hekate]

28. Mussolini

[sweetroxie]

29. Once again, he's projecting

nt

[Historic NY]

30. Ill stand up and applaud on the day he is impeached, resigns or is dead.

[randr]

33. Admission that he has never watched a SOTU

[Sadie5]

34. And yet another of the Casino King's

Laugh your ass off remarks!

[SWBTATTReg]

36. Why clap? You lied throughout the entire SOTU address

People in the know, know exactly the facts and how things really are. No one claps for a person when they are lying (which is almost always) and spewing nonsense.

tRUMP doesn't know the meaning of treason ... period, but he will...

[olddad56]

38. anytime that guy accuses another of something, he is seeing, in that person, a reflection of himself

Treasonous democrats, crooked Hillary, little Marco, lying Ted, and on and on and on.

[disalitervisum]

39. Yes that is trumpervert's method

To accuse everyone else of exactly what he himself is guilty of.

[oberliner]

41. Surprised by the low-key reaction to this
