Hey, Chris here – do you think interviews with Fox hurt the President’s 2020 chances, or help shore up his base?
@Stephen F. Democracy isn’t blind allegiance to a supreme leader, you dolt. Also, do you not remember the 8 years of Republicans calling Obama a socialist Muslim from Kenya? What an idiot 😂
@Steven F. : I have seen no verifiable data to support your assertion, in any rate it is only 0.66% the number that voted in the 2016 general election. If you are referring to those who registered as a party membesr, it is my guess that those are the few that did exactly what republicans have been doing for years and that is registering as democrats so as to be able to vote for the weaker candidate in the primaries, now that the primary season is over, they drop their GOP registration.
@Puddles 59 One of the things we learned from Trump is telling a lie over and over again doesn’t make it true.
FOX HELPS TO KEEP THE UNINFORMED–UNINFORMED, THEY ARE RUMPS FAN BASE.
Trump 2020
His base seems to be so caught up in the cult thing that they really don’t even care! However it does seem to have affected his numbers with everyone else.
@A.I “Trump’s base is quite intelligent” LOL
Trump is a psychopath who’s destroying this country. Maybe Trump-tards should pull their heads out of their a**es…eh?
@Michael D No, Trump is the “sick” one…and the people who voted for him in ’16 and STILL NOW support that psychopath have to wake up and smell the damn coffee! Over 150,000 Americans dead so far from Covid-19, with no end in sight!! This country is going down the toilet, thanks to Trump’s pathetic NON-leadership.
@Not-so-smart aleck spoken like a true socialist. The federal government controls what you think and how you act, except for your blm and antifa thugs destroying your Democrat ran cities
@Michael D you said the federal government controls what you think, but the federal government is 3/4 conservative right now. So you’re saying that conservatives control how we think.
@InSurrealtime not how I think.
America is
23 in education.
37 in healthcare.
52 in gender equality.
No high-speed train.
Highest number of homeless people.
Highest number of incarcerated people.
78% of people live paycheck to paycheck.
Stock market is not economy of Americans! Where 90% of money belongs to top 10% of the population, it’s wallet for the rich.
Let’s talk like adults, instead of name calling.
I have left the proof on my playlist, if you would like to check!
Let’s make our country better together……

@Stuff Summed Up Actually if you count per ca-pita that is indeed a little high more like 50th.
And yes US have some of the best hospitals in the world and some of the best doctors, however they carter to less then 5% of the population. And US could easily go to top ten but that would mean sweeping health reforms which the lobbyists will spend billions trying to block.
Because nowhere in the world can healthcare and pharma take out as much in pure profit as in the US. And I mean I think health care cost three times as much as second most expensive country (might be wrong here to tired to search for info).
@Duarte Silva Pretending to laugh, witty.
I concur from Australia the place is an absolute dumpster, sorry cousins
@ZI Jealous.
Envy of the world? Well, which world would that be then, Mars, Venus, Pluto etc?
@NDFOOTBALL whats wrong your master only gave you one bogus talking point

I’m wondering what happened to the constant claim that the US had “the greatest economy in the history of the world” and “the lowest unemployment rate in 50 years”. Haven’t heard these claims in a while, what happened? Surely the US is still the “envy of the world”. He’s MAGA and now it’s a simple matter of KAG. Lol, yeah right.
As a European, I can confirm that the USA is envy of no one.
Per my investigations, this is how Trump followers are brainwashed:
Trump is master in creating propaganda & conspiracy theories to scare & brainwash his voters, and then highlight himself as the only savior & hero against the fake news and the mess he himself created!
Please read my investigation report on how he is running the biggest propaganda & conspiracy theory machinery in US history under the umbrella of SOCIALIST Falun Gong’s media channels https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-wNdNH9VaQ&t=98s
(Link to the PDF FORMAT of my reports is also available in comments section of the videos – there are more reports on my channel on propaganda & conspiracy theories, including WHO, HCQ, 5G, China, etc.)

Yeah, he aced it, just like he “aced” the SATs while dodging the draft.
@john wayne you are an insult to the late John Wayne. Did you attention when this plaque first came into the USA??? The best experts were saying the warm weather will weaken the virus . And Mr. Fraud Fauci was saying not transmitted from human to human. Also he was saying about the masks they weren’t necessary blah blah now it is an obsession with them. So sound like you need to educate yourself a bit.🤯🤡🤯🙄
@NYC2LA Idiot it actually was $200k. Jealous are we??? Hopefully your not all about jeans t shirts sneaker and baseball cap. My parents left my brother and $300K and my brother is SMART and I took courses in how to invest . We made a lot if money . Oh by the you have to have money to make money. Also you need to be shrewd. Did I mention we came to the USA in the 80’s LEGALLY became NATURALIZED Citizens, yeh baby the land of opportunity. By the way idiots do not KNOW how generous President is.

Smart people know how the virus grows. Then we have the TRUMP followers who are just plain stupid.
“If we didnt test, the hospitals would not be so full” What magic is this.
@David Duong Ok, show proof that they make fake reports. As far as I have seen there has been one misreported. When the reporters asked the hospital about it and they already requested it be changed. It could have very well been a clerical error. So, no every idiot who drinks Trump’s cool aid thinks there is a conspiracy. The numbers are now going through the White House so Trump can manipulate the numbers.
And if Doctors stopped checking for pulses, then the death tole would go down immediately. Problem solved. They’re not dead. They’re merely resting.
@David Duong You should really look up the word non-sequiter sometime. Sometime soon.

maybe due to the fact if you have cold symptoms you get thrown right onto a ventilator even with multiple negative test

@Not-so-smart aleck This is not news, liberals. A while back some notorious white slave owners decided that it would be a good thing to limit political and government power. I wonder whatever happened to their statues.
proof he is sick https://youtu.be/JRM7zQk8xJg
To all Trump haters:
Keep the horses.
Time will tell us who will win and who will lose.
Left wing radicals uses you for political purpose and then throws you away like a used condom, and you will still be losers, no matter who the president is.
I love the part where he devalued his female press secretary. By yelling give ke those reports. Ans you see her running on camera.. boss hog has spoken daisy mae
What interview did you watch I didn’t see him yelling at her I think you’re delusional put down the crack pipe
When trump says everybody, he’s talking about the idiots around him with absolutely no expertise on the subject whatsoever
Normalizing life in a burning building, “Well, there are flames and there are embers.”
It’s Baghdad Bob all over again. “Well, there a few M1A1 Abrams tanks and F-22 Raptors and entire brigades over here, but we also have areas with just a few infantry detachments.”
hvymettle that’s Obama
“its fine” meme inception
@G Fallz_ What video were you watching? That’s what Trump said. Are you always this stupid or is today a special occasion?
Ever had the feeling that trump was dropped on his head a lot as a child along with rough shaking as a baby to top it off?
@Flash Man nice try!😂
@The Real Wolf you mean like the Portland mayor?
Please tell us oh wise one, what would you do to end the rioting and virus?
No. He was just spoiled by his father.
@Greg Bors That’s true. He was never loved by them and that’s why he is so emotionally underdeveloped.

If you don’t test you won’t have any cases. That’s insane, and who votes for an insane man to be the President?
THE INSANE.
Too many US voters
The talking point his aides gave him to say was ‘Flare up,”, but he couldn’t remember that in the interview, so he said “Flames”, “I call it flames.” LMAO
“Kim Jong Un speaks and his people sit up in attention. I want my people to do the same.”
~Trump 6/15/18
The interview exposed trump’s ignorance and low IQ
When Trump says ‘everybody’ he’s talking about the voices in his head.

Yep! And “no one knew” means he just found out.
@Kyle Bolton and then promptly forgot.
If you showed this to his minions, you’d be deemed “unpatriotic” “fake news” and a hater.
