  1. The self professed “Chosen One” is going to have to downsize. His next residence is going to be 25 square feet.

    1. not quite 25 ft. his bunk mate is as big as he is. they’ll be lucky if they can pass each other without rubbing body parts.

  2. That’s because it went into Big Businesses pockets and people’s off shore accounts. What we call Rich people’s Socialism.

    1. @Jon Doe what is so evil about socialism? All the countries mentioned by Trump that are able to open their schools without risk have some form of socialism in their government. They have shut down the virus and provide health care for all their citizens. This is evil? NOT.

    2. @Electric Gigolo It’s bizarre how the corporate welfare republicans are willing to steal billions but get all butthurt when someone gets a few dollars to help them avoid the trump virus.

    3. @Nancy M Ross I was being sarcastic and quoting Evangelicals view and stance on socialism. Please read my entire post. I stand with you and I agree with your statement

  3. The second trump signed this bill it was destined to be abused. You can’t fast track something of this magnitude and be able to put in checks. It’s just sad that so many small businesses got left out in the cold. It sure didn’t help those that needed it most did it?

    1. @Genghis Smith its sad when your ego resorts to laughing off reality. Is that really the state of your self? Or are you part of it? The white liberal? Slave master of old and now

    2. Gabe Dudley Look, Gabe, you didn’t respond to Laura’s post in any intelligent way whatsoever…..mate, accept it; yer a feckin eejit!

    3. With all our incredible technology. We lack the ability to keep it simple and stupid and here are the results. Until we are all on the same page, we aren’t going (Anywhere, anyplace, anytime with anybody/anyone.) nowhere soon. SMH…

  4. Ya know….if t’rump hadn’t called this a hoax for months, refused to put in a national plan, and just flat out given up on America….the economy would be re=opening by now and his election chances wouldn’t be in a crater.
    It’s almost as if he’s trying to NOT get re-elected 🤔 or he’s just as incompetent as we all knew he was. 😅😂🤣

    1. Remember, the US has 4.5% of the worlds population but 28% of the COVID deaths due to Trump’s incompetence.

    2. @Ro G so video clips of trump being optimistic that the virus will go away is a fact that Trump said the virus will go away okay

    3. ​@Mike w 👈 Says to show him the video, and when you do, he still doesn’t get it. 😅😂🤣

  5. The DWS in Fayetteville Arkansas has been overwhelmed & shut down all operation today leaving hundreds waiting in line in the heat for nothing. #dumptrump2020

  6. That’s why trump wants the country to open up so bad, because if unemployment crashes AKA the only way trump could possibly win the reelection. He will not only fail this once but twice because he is not taken covid 19 seriously. he has failed on Covid-19 countless times but hes about to fail the Americans economy again. Unemployment gonna spike backup again probly backup to 16 to 17%.
    The keeps failing hard in putting very tiny Band-Aids on problems. right now he has 5 very major issues and they’re all just gushing blood.

  7. 2008 crisis is what ultimately produced Trump: a lifelong conman who took advantage of the resentment toward the elites that corrupted every government institution. “Fun fact”: the Very Same Wallstreet Scum that profited from it, are now in White House. ( such as Mncuchin/read the book “Homewreckers)
    Question is: What will another corporate robbery produce This time?

    1. 4.8 million jobs added – the largest one-month job gain in U.S. history

      356,000 manufacturing jobs added

      The unemployment rate fell 2.2%

      Wages increased by 5% year over year

      Thank you,
      President Trump!

  8. What a scam for the wealthy. I will soon get asked to leave my apartment even though I have managed to pay my rent in full with loans from my family. I’m 71 and I never thought I would be homeless. America sucks. 😕

    1. 4.8 million jobs added – the largest one-month job gain in U.S. history

      356,000 manufacturing jobs added

      Thank you,
      President Trump!

    2. Yeah, that’s why Trump has to go.
      Also, i sincerely hope you have someone to help you out during this difficult time! Many people are sadly experiencing the same thing.

  9. I was in that line at the unemployment office. After conversing with several people, I could see EVERYONE was very upset with all this bs. Well, we went to the gun store immediately after and saw some of the same people in line to BUY GUNS, and it made me think, hmmmm

    1. @Christian Moneybagg It’s objectively the worst in most categories among developed nations. Worst healthcare, worst education, most economically divided, most uneven wealth distribution

    2. Seriously… Look around you. It’s easy to say “we’re the best”. We can do better. We have to do better…

    3. @FirstRyan Murray It’s easy to say if you ignore everyone else. Americans like to argue they don’t care about other countries because America does things better. But you are comparing yourselves to yourselves. You fell behind decades ago and didn’t notice

    1. Desperado5501 keep trying loser. The stock market has been the same over the last decade. Try naming an economic policy that has chant anything from the orange turd?

    2. @Desperado5501 if you’re seeking my approval I congratulated a while back. Stop embarrassing yourself groveling for attention. I’m super amused by your insecurities but that’s not nice so once again just in case your learning disability over looked a previous statement. I’m glad you’re doing well. Now move along and enjoy your wealth
      🤣🤣🤣

    3. Folks, with all our incredible technology. We lack the ability to keep it simple and stupid and here are the results. Until we are all on the same page, we aren’t going (Anywhere, anyplace, anytime with anybody/anyone.) nowhere soon. SMH…
