  1. America will just be a larger bankruptcy than Trump is used to. We’re watching this country burn every time he tries to hide facts and mislead the public.

    1. @red is for freedom blue is for losers And the world is flat, Bigfoot was brought here by aliens, the moon is made of cheese, and there is a race of aliens living among us… Moron.

    2. Trump is the Real Barbarian Racist Dictator.
      Everything he said must be obeyed

      Trump is the most Dictator President in the US history.

      I love US People, but Not not the satanic president

    1. Carol Mcfadden And you are a prime example of a programmed moronic minion of the mainstream media’s fake news

    2. Biggus Dickus With a name like that
      we can be assured you are over compensating for something that doesn’t quite measure up?

    3. James Hutchins brilliant let elect the sleepy pervert in the basement hiding hoping he doesn’t have to come out to face America….

    4. @Patrick Star What do you find wrong with Democracy? What an embarrassment for you grandchildren.

  2. All of this is bad, And nothing can be done with this fake president until NOV. That’s what’s crazy

    1. Maybe a patriotic veteran will defend his nation from all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC maybe he picks his rifle back up.

    2. That’s not true there’s a lot of things they could have done before November and got this clown out of office the fact that he failed to listen to numerous scientists have downplayed this virus have put every single American in Jeopardy no there are plenty of things they have to get this fool out of office they’re just not doing it

    3. When a president doesn’t heave warnings and it starts killing American citizens he does not get to keep being our President and keep lying to us and keep telling us false b******* every time he comes on TV or he tweets no president has the authority to gamble with our lives

  3. Do Americans really need an economic report do know and understand that the country is in a financial disaster of Titanic proportions?

    1. @DoubledEdgeSword321 Presumtuios and naive, that statement you just made. I didnt vote for Trump.

    2. @Jhon Sepulvedo sorry about your red state blues brother..i live in NC, the home of trumpublikkklan voter fraud..i know how it is to be subjected to policy that’s complete bipartisan ignorance bs..sorry for insulting you thinking you were a trumpublikkklan..i mean you are from Oklahoma.

    3. I Think It’s Good to Hear and See Other Areas of the Country to See Their Economic Situations

    1. Lets be fair… he’s not really a failed businessman… he’s a Very Very successful Carnival Conman. He’s quite good at it too…

    1. ”We are going into the winter of America, a depression.”
      That’s what happens when people stupidly vote Republican.

  4. I’m mightily impressed by MAGA … only the US could have managed that by electing an imbecile orange criminal and allowing him to remain in office.

    1. Trump lost the Pop. Vote by almost 3mil votes
      TRUMP won the Electorial College Vote by about 70,000 votes in 3 states
      TRUMP GAMED THE SYSTEM using Weapons grade AI software
      and stolen data from 87mil AMERICAN’S Facebook accounts.
      “THE GREAT HACK”

    1. @GX Minn how would he have doubled those numbers? Possibly by putting food on tables and keeping businesses afloat so there’s jobs to go back to?

    2. @David Peterson 👄$550B bailouts for corporations; $3T bailout to stock market; $1,200 to individuals (one time); run out of $ for small businesses; people are running of $ to buy food; no $ to pay bills/rent; 36M unemployed; no medical insurance (refused to extend medicaid); no jobs to return to!! Yep…trump has done a lot!!

    3. @Rene Curry Well I’m glad I live in a red state. 113 deaths out of 3.3 million people. 18 months unemployment benefits in reserve. No freedoms stripped away. Best wishes to the blue States where the vast majority of The covid 19 infections are.PS, you forgot about the 600 a week added to unemployment insurance.

    4. David Peterson it’s not because they are blue states 💩 head it’s because they hold more people in those states. Y’all only have 113 deaths because y’all only have like 113,000 people in the whole state. Your 💩 state probably also doesn’t get many visitors or travelers from outside the country since you probably live in a over flyover state.

    5. @Jonah Falcon What part of 3.3 million ppl is too difficult for you to understand. Also, my state thrives on visitors Revenue both domestic and foreign. It’s obviously managed better and the people are friendly, respectful and family-oriented.PS, Wyoming has the smallest population in the country at almost 600,000 you dumb donkey!

  5. Winning with Trump! The Messiah of the Morons! As always, Dems will be cleaning up after yet another Republican catastrophe …

    1. That has been a pattern set by the last three Republican presidents counting Trump a republican runs the economy in a ditch and then it takes a Democrat to pull it out behind them

    1. Democrat cities….doofie….you left that out. Dems aren’t that great at maintaining race relations.

    2. @R L T You mean it’s harder to maintain race relations in a diverse city than your shithole small town where you and your sister-cousins were born and (in)bred?
      Mind. Blown.

    3. @Tyson w theoretically, but have you actually seen him hit a golf ball? Due to the size of his mid girth “they” say is morbid obesity, and the angle of sight required from5 feet 8 inches away, it would be nigh on impossible for him to see the ball. Therefore the many many girlie swings before being qued to pretend like he hit the ball. Unfortunately, the lack of any response from those around him indicates he MISSED.

  6. All he cares about is golfing and tweeting and fighting with twitter while people lose their jobs and lives from the #TrumpVirus

    1. Remember when the goal was all this would clear up in April with the heat lol, remember when it went from 50-60-100k dead being the supposed end of it. Good times but the winning just keeps on coming

    2. @Jonah Falcon Remember when Trump suggested the US would have zero deaths? “We have this virus completely under control, 15 cases and soon that will be zero”

  7. I hope Americans bring “Little man Orangine” to justice , Sooner than Later, and that he gets striped of everything that he still has.

    1. I vomit when I see this so called presidents fans defend him which means they are just as uncaring and nasty as he is. I vomit when I see this presidents little greasy hands that his fans lick like little puppies

    2. Fantasies of justice for that orange cretin can bring a bit of levity: imprisonment in portapotty, or awakening abandoned in a huge foreign city , sans makeup, hairdresser, money, ID; having been gently bathed/stained completely in something like black walnut hull solution. He’d sit on ground & cry.

  8. Vote the orange clown out from the Whitehouse this coming election, the US future depends on it.

  9. 40 million Americans are unemployed, over 100K Americans have died of COVID-19 and Trumps plays golf. Trump could care less!

    1. @GMO Reckless I can say relief is good, but why go to your own properties to make money off taxpayers dueing pandemic

    2. My question to you is….Why are Americans complacent about their tax dollars wasted on war instead of rebuilding your laughable country??

    1. @R L T you are a cult following imbecile infidel who should be deported along with your dear leader.

    2. @paul lovallo Obama’s economic policies gave this country the greatest GDP, Trump is still benefiting from that windfall, if you have no education in simple economics, then deport yourself with your dear leader, you red hat wearing snowflake.

    3. @jason royale Revisionist history tactics from the red hat wearing cult maggots won’t ever become main stream. MAGA should be deported along with their dear leader.

    1. Diane Owen
      I say the same thing. He’s nothing but a punchline. His supporters are the real problem

    2. It is a clarification, and a fact, and a sad one at that, which so many people just don’t see. I still see people who refuse to wear masks. Is it me, or what. What is it so hard about wearing a mask.

      Ms. L. Churchill

    3. @red is for freedom blue is for losers, There’s a big difference between kneeling down, and bending over. Figure it out! By the way, nobody looks look in brown lipstick, pal.
