    1. @Mike Hall What is non-factual about a bunch of video-clips of Trump saying things?
      Oh! That it is Trump saying anything at all is what makes it non-factual.
      Is that it?

  1. If Monday morning when the alarm is going off was a person, it would be this guy!

  2. I like it when you take a disease that is separating people from each other and use it to make fun of a president you dont like. very professional. remember when news anchors weren’t allowed to discuss their political views…

    1. Yes, I remember. Do you know what happened? Obummer rescended the The Smith-Mundt Act so that it is now legal to spread faults political propaganda Stateside. He did it because he knew that Republicans would still respect the The Smith-Mundt Act and that Democrats would not and use the dismissal to there every advantage, and that turned out to be exactly right. The media elites don’t care if they lose money and ratings or getting caught time after time lying, they’re a Propaganda Machine only.
      Judicial Watch has brought this to the President’s attention.
      I write it in every comment box on every survey I take, and I take a lot.
      Go Trump, The Chosen One! 2020 Landsl….AVALAAAAAANCHE!

    1. “I say your a terrible reporter that’s what I say”. He’s a terrible president, that’s what I say.

    2. Because the President of USA is a joke. He traitor to his on country. Doesn’t it seem strange that 2 years Trump was shaking hands with Putin now we have a pandemic.

    1. @Jeremiah Olayinka stop attacking people plz Democrats and liberals are always attacking people because of who they support why cant yall talk facts and not hate

    2. @multi youtube how would I know that? How is it relevant? Did I go too hard on you or something? If you can’t handle the heat get the fr*ck outta politics kid lmaœ

  3. When a major political and cultural influencing organization becomes an enemy of the people laws and politics can no longer suffice only natural justice.

  4. 4:50 “and NONE of that… helps us…”

    Yet this video titled “President Trump’s 10 most outrageous lines on coronavirus” will.

    CNN, you are blinding me with rays of wisdom.

    1. Also… in the intro he said “Countries are on lockdown, the summer Olympics are being postponed… and Trump doesn’t take responsibility AT ALL!” Yea, because Trump was plotting to eat a racoon dog, put other countries he’s not in charge of on lockdown and delay the Olympics. The root of all evil

    2. @discogoose tv exactly. And why should he take responsibility for a Chinese virus anyways? He is still dealing with the problem CHINA made, but President Trump is not in any way responsible for it. CNN is about as good as Buzzfeed. Lol.

    1. vv Mako vv i don’t think you should be talking about “faults” on a serious issue when you can’t even spell.

  5. Great “News”. I’m a liberal and even I find the fact that the cable news network (ahem, YOU CNN) is airing this instead of — I don’t know — ACTUAL NEWS.

    1. @Fletcher Christian (sigh) another Russiagate hawking, tin-foil hat wearing conspiracy theorist.

    2. ​@Paolo Pace How much fact-checking did Chris and CNN do for 3 years of Russiagate conspiracy theories? About as much as your comment excuses Chris’s bias. Oh, wait.

    3. @Fletcher Christian Ok your message was blurry from the start. Are you pro Trump or anti Trump because if you’re anti Trump, we’re basically on the same side.

    1. Oh did he flip that around? Did he dooooo thaaaaaat? Awe how cute. Such a humorous endeavour. He needs to know how funny he is. So so funny. SO funny that i might just swallow a bottle of Vicodin tonight.

    1. I’m a Democrat but this guy Cizzilla is utterly useless, how did he even get on TV? With enemies like Chris Cizzilla, Donald Trump doesn’t need any friends…

  6. Well if we are gonna toss some of the Bill of Rights, let’s just toss the 1st. Y’all been trying to take the 2nd. The 4th,5th and 6th are innocent bystanders.

  7. Here’s another thought the green new deal would almost do the same thing to the economy it would break the bank

    1. Guys, this is a time where you need to come together, not fight. Whether you are religious or not, or share different political views, does not matter. The world should be working together but instead it’s just causing more arguements

    2. Thank you! And don’t mind Joe Biden saying that all Indians do is work and own 7/11’s. We American know you do much much more!
