Jon Meacham: This Crisis Calls For A Consistent Presidential Voice | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Trump needs to step aside there is nothing in this situation to benefit him. He is way out of his depth.
@ala ska just keep your brother’s fists to yourself.
@Joanne de Moura You should lay off the drugs. Actually, use more. People are SICK of Lib trash like you.
@ala ska or maybe your brother should have a fist transplant and be quarantined indefinitely.
@Joanne de Moura Seek professional care. There is a lot of help available for freaks like you.
@ala ska Professional care, like hiring guards for the pre school across the street on Corey and Washington.
Too bad the “Presidential voice” belongs to Trump, the Psychopath. I can’t look at him let alone listen.
Michelle Bowen I don’t hate him because a girl didn’t win. I hate him because he is an abusive psychopath, just like my 40 point (highest score you can get) sister. Educate yourselves on psychopaths. Google the PCL-R by Dr. Robert Hare.
3 17 20 Hey@blueseaview 22, Thanks for the information. Now, who’s attention should this information be brought to? Be helpful to follow-up on this. Stay & be well. v
3 17 20 Hey@Rebecca Peterson , Michelle=toll alert. The point in the comment is similar with agentsbotstrolls; the posts. Inflame, divide, & are off topic. Hate, affects the hater more & can killed the one hating; compassion. Stay & be well. v
blueseaview 22 Believe that if you wish. The only way our results have been altered were the result of Putin’s meddling. The reason I didn’t vote for his social democratic approach is I and other adults will be funding it. I get that his young supporters like free college. Who wouldn’t? I combined work and scholarships, and that got me through graduate school. If you really want an education, plan for it, and if you have no one to help you, remember the people who want students to succeed and study hard.
Art Kys I have never understood the dislike and persecution of the Jewish people. It is a strange projection onto a group with no home. They aren’t the only state with this problem, but the bias goes on. Did your knowledge of World War Two teach you nothing? They aren’t out to get you. Project your angst onto something useful, like serial killers.
The U.S. seems to have a crop of mayors and governors that can work, lead and coordinate resources in a crisis..maybe next time we can produce a real president from amongst them.
Lynette Patton stop voting for republicans….look at all the Dem governors who are leading this cause! Fukin rethuglicans only care about their money
Gov Cuomo has been out in front! Didn’t wait for federal response and took charge for New Yorkers
3 17 20 Hey@Sharon Meixsell, Yeah, lucky to have him. Drump calling him a snake, was referring to himself-Drump. Stay & be well; you’re needed! v
3 17 20 Hey@Annette Jones, San Francisco Mayor Breed:1st, state of emergency in nation, 3 16 20-lockdown until 4 7 2020. During the 1918-1920, San Francisco had lowest death (during the first wave of the pandemic), doing what worked based on facts & science. Stay & be well. v
Lynette Patton
yeah. like any other job, hiring someone with experience!
novel idea!
America is now fighting two diseases, Trump-45 and Covid-19.
@Joe Paleface
3..2..1….(snap my fingers) You’re now back in the room. Well done, I think the first session went rather well. We’ll soon get to the root of your trolling problem. Same time next week?
Rabble Wolf
three:
magatardation
Nota Bene, we don’t even pretend to practice capitalism in the US anymore as the next bailout is underway now on the backs of taxpayers for the sole benefit of political donors.
@Josef apparently its not just your brain that’s dead. Only ED sufferers or perverts stoop to sexual insults.
@GR Wolf
The money grabbers first thought, ‘How can “WE/I“ turn a healthy profit in a crisis?`
I will listen to my governor not trump! Trump has no credibility, He will always revert back to the same old trump!
As he did in his twitter rants last night.
Wiebe Stuive yup 4hrs ago he tweeted Chinese virus! 🤦♀️
Unfortunately we have a Texas, tRump governor right now
L D I’m sorry!! I live in Washington State and our Governor is on it!!
Can we please stop trying to validate Trump? He is so grossly uniformed and misinterpreting the facts, he is an embarrassment!! We are taking the initiative as a responsible population with state and local authorities and medical personnel leading us to a cure and resolve for this “pandemic”. I trust the community I live in rather than to have our f****** impeached president try and lead us through this. I get more ill just listening him talk about this!!!
You got Trump derangement don’t you it’ll be okay go find your safe space
Trump, Pence and Mnuchin to the rescue!!! The three stooges!!
In this case four!🐹
@Leif Johnson Velveeta Vesuvius! I like it! 😂😂😂
@Melika Lioness I’m wearin’ the green. (A green virus mask)
@Gabe Dudley All of the sudden trumpian behavior is deplorable??? Please try to see the irony in this. I beg you. Trump phants are just as guilty. Shame on the whole lot.
@Nota Bene Irony?
Here, let me fix this title for you…
This country needs a president.
There, all fixed.
Dork
@Thomas Johnson No. Howard said “a president”. You already have a “dork”.
@Alex Mitchell No look in the mirror dork!
@Thomas Johnson My, aren’t you clever.
@Alex Mitchell Please get infected you moron.
Almost a thousand new cases so far today and getting close to 100 deaths, hey Trump, do you know of any more hoaxes?
@Gabe Dudley The 2009 Swine flu season under Obama had a death rate 7X smaller than the regular flu. Out of the 60 Million + infections, 12 000 people died. It had a rate of 0.2 per 1000. Hospitals did not become overwhelmed, Doctors did not have to put people in make shift hospitals and tent hospitals in parking lots and hallways. There was no shortage of ventilators or medicine.
Regular flu in 2017-2018 season under Trump had 45 million infections but 61 000 deaths with a death rate of 1.4 out of 1000.
The Coronavirus has a death rate at least 10X the regular flu. It is estimated that up to at least 150 million Americans will get infected.
If estimates are righ we will see a death number from at least 1 million Americans to as well as 2 million if not more under Trump.
Compare that to the 12 000 under Obama for Swine flu?
Obama left Trump a Epidemic reaction team to deal with Epidemics. Not only did Trump dissolved that team and replaced it with nothing. He cut 80% of the CDC’s budget so he could cut taxes for rich people and increase the defense budget. Again, up to 1 million Americans are going to die because of this pandemic. Even thou Trump knew about this since January. He told the American people that “it was a hoax.” That “we only have 15 cases and they are going to ZERO.” That they had everything under control. That “if you are feeling sick, you should still go to work because you will be fine.”
He knew about this epidemic since January. He had time to prepare. It is not mid March.
There is a huge shortage of respiratory ventilators. There is a shortage of medical beds. There is a shortage of tests.
The Chinese had the PLA built two hospitals for 5 000 patients each in 10 days in Wuhan. Our military defense budget is 3X larger than theirs. Where are our make shift hospitals. Where are our respiratory ventilators?

@Gabe Dudley No, pal, you’re the ovine presence online here. B-A-A-A-A-A!!!
@Gabe Dudley Actually, cant is defined as “insincere, especially conventional expressions of enthusiasm for high ideals, goodness, or piety.” Sounds like you have plenty to go around.
@Gabe Dudley Nobody ever actually said this verbatim, but it’s still a good line:
“When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying the cross.”
Judging from the symbols above, you have enough flags for the coming season. Better buy some crosses while they’re still cheap.
@Gabe Dudley Enough brain? Try capitalizing the first person singular pronoun. It’s spelled “I”.
This man is a thug who put in the White House! Are you really expecting this man to change? What he is thinking right now is how he can make some money with this situation!
Actually its the bidens making money from their chinese pharma partners. Time to wake up my friend
@Gabe Dudley such a dimwhit , blind deaf stupid
@Gabe Dudley …and then there’s the time Trump tried to bribe
Germany wasn’t it last week, wasn’t it for the vaccine. Exclusively for USA.
Germany said, “remember that time your grandfather avoided the military draft & we had to take his citizenship away? You were included.”
Yeah, all stupid Americans put him in charge. Serve you right!
A Canadian friend living in the US, yesterday, via text:
“I just fled across the border [to Canada] before they closed it. didnt want to bankrupt myself by having to go to the hospital in the US if that became necessary.”
The “health care system” of the world’s richest country.
@Joe Paleface If they do they will live with free healthcare, while you are going to go bankrupt paying for your medical bills after your insurance company cuts your coverage.
Insurance coverage in America is like a 5% discount coupon whenever you really get sick. You better stay at home, enjoy your home not and don’t get infected. If you do get sick you will have to sell that home to pay for your bills.
AMANO NOVINYL good we don’t want you hear.
Since WW II democracies throughout the world have flourished. Thank an American soldier, a Vet, for that. All these countries did well and are doing well under our leadership. Canada has an army? They dont need one. Thank America for that.
Dems and left need to move to Buttville Brainwashington.Stop buying up all the toilet paper. Dems are confused like usual .Need to by up tissue not TP for all the losing and whining
That text is as phony as a $3 bill. I’m so tired of your pathetic lies.
I am sick of people propping this clown up every time he does something the least. and mean least bit normal.
cindy rogers Well said and I fully agree. I had an argument with an individual who claimed the WHO congratulated Trump on his pandemic response mistaking diplomacy for real compliments.
Even his “normal” is seriously lacking! He is nothing but a waste of time, space and oxygen. Vote Blue for a chance back to normalcy and sanity .
I’m not knocking it if he says something which has a good outcome.
Dee Pattison
pooping has a good outcome.
you don’t knock it,
but you also don’t praise it.
you just flush.
He’s just doing it appear halfway human and to get votes. His minions are slavering for the chance to insert surveillance legislation in the bills before they’re passed. If you believe he had a change of heart, believe this: he’s told more than 16,000 lies since becoming president. And that’s only since January 2017.
Elect a Reality TV star they said…
What could go wrong they said…
Not everyone is willing to part with their soul for a blue vote my friend. If only you would have walked away years ago. Maybe then we would have a real canditate to run against him.
The capitalist party never loses a game. They own both clubs.
Gabe Dudley they were willing to part with their morals…..
Nota Bene and only sheep bow to them…..
Trump has never been a star at anything. Corrupt, incompetent, lies, bankruptcies, stiffing contractors, extortion, charity fraud, and the list goes on and on and on. Trump is a poor excuse for a human being and certainly the worst president in US history.
Trump failed, he has mishandled the economy and told us all this virus was a hoax. I don’t think we should wait until the election. Something very very serious is occurring
Or, you could just be wrong.
david fiero elaborate for me
Omg THE AIRLINES. WTF ABOUT THE PEOPLE. BAIL OUT THE PEOPLE.
Tell the airline CEO’s to donate their $20M bonuses.
Exactly..All you hear is: The airlines, The cruise industry, The Stockmarket, The restaurants, The bars, The theatres, The blah blah blah..WE GET IT!! What about us. The people. Those who rely on Foodbanks. We with no insurance. We self-employed people, What about us. ????? Pull a f’ ing finger out—Someone??? Anyone???
People work for the airlines. You know that right.
Nah, let’s bail them out. But, first they have to commit to giving all passengers enough leg room, at least 2 inches more. If they want their bail out money, take out a row or two of seats.
And the hotels, and resorts. As always, Trump first.
In my area the shelves didn’t empty out until the cdc went on fox and told cult 45 the truth!
We look to our governors to provide advice. The higher level is pretty much disorganized.
Just for the record Joe, The orange rat is not the reason why I take this seriously. I will never stop and listen to such small man.
Too bad he’s lied so much that I don’t believe anything he says now..
Wasn’t there a story about a boy and his sheep and a wolf?
and add … cant stand to see him or hear his voice.
gorams csu NOW? It took this long? I’m being cynical. Don’t mind me. Yes. He’s a pathological liar. I just saw him tell reporters that he’s known all along this was a pandemic. Gotta wonder which side of his mouth tells the truth. How scary we can’t trust our leader in times of crisis. Stay safe.
I’M NOT surprised by Trump’s Incompetence…..a LOT of people KNEW it during his ROTTEN RACIST campaign !!
I was one of them I couldn`t see how or why anyone would vote for that HUMAN GARBAGE
