  1. President Trump announces drivel to the uneducated. See you in January earliest. Don’t waste rage on the internet alone, you’ve got to vote Biden blue November or we’re wasting time and oxygen.

    1. More like President Trump opens the door to a bunch of anti-vaxers to refuse the vaccination if/when it is created making it useless anyway.

    2. @Ali B President to *”deploy”* military to help *”distribute”* vaccine. *Looks like you morons got your wish.*

    3. @OSKA I start with that appellation to draw, however the futility, the few Trumpsters not blinded by Der Fuehrer’s BS

  2. I expect most countries already assembled a team to work on vaccines 3 months ago.

    1. The Church of Silly Beggars – Yep you are right and they are working together collaboratively. Perhaps if he hadn’t dropped the WHO he would have known that.

    2. There has been. Unprecedented work has been done. This stuff takes a long time. It’s impressive actually what they can get done together.

    3. Dimwit Donald Trump and his clueless cult of conservative cronies have killed Americans needlessly and screwed up a thriving economy with their incompetence. South Korea and the US got their first confirmed case of covid-19 on the same date. The US unemployment rate was 3.8% and SK was 4.0%. South Korea immediate started testing, tracing and isolating. Trump did nothing but downplay the virus and call it a hoax for 2 months. Today South Korea has 260 deaths while the USA has 86,891. The US unemployment rate is now 14.9% while South Korea’s is still 4.0%. Guess who fuk’d up?

    1. Still an immigrant , most likely muslim , when hes from Morocco and worked for an European drug company … so there is no native born Americans for the job ?

  3. Has anyone noticed how much Trump is like the mayor in the movie Jaws? Trying to convince everyone it’s safe to go back in the water!

    1. sal been so thankful were not from a third world chit hole with no allies and whose main method of warfare is sad internet trolling…you know?

      😢🖕🇺🇸

    2. @M Gutierrez Then I better not point out the fact that Trump’s supposed bone spurs that kept him out of serving in the military; somehow had no effect on his basketball career as a student. Wink

  4. Once again he has Dr. Fauci standing behind him as set dressing. He must think that gives credibility to his worthless attempts to make people think he’s doing something to combat Covid-19. And positive cases and deaths keep quickly adding up.

    1. It was supposed to have been that way. But the “stable-genius” said this virus was going to disappear with the heat, and decided to do nothing about it. President Clueless is just pretending to be doing something, because the intel out there concerning his inactivity during this pandemic is ridiculously clear.

    2. rtorres81rc …lol! I don’t think so. I am smart enough to listen to people that knows, rather than idiots pretending to know what they are doing. President Clueless will never fool me. Take good care of yourself though, there is no need to expose our lives and others over mandates of a leadership that is founded on lies and deceit!

  5. Talk about a hoax, how about “Trump’s response!” He conned the whole world…, and it’s surreal.

    1. @Twig Spinner wow buddy, good drugs on are you,.. possible is it for you, to describe to us, the color of the sky on your world?

    2. @Twig Spinner Already Am Lucky, how’s things in Russia?

      Putin letting your people die like trump’s doing here?

  6. The question that needs to be asked is, What’s in it for Trump? Once you peel through that, you’ll see the corruption. Believe me. MAGA!

    1. @Dump Trump
      You putrid little septic tart, youre a slave to evil owned and controlled by demons

    2. Dump Trump
      And no attachments either. He’s just a hose and a bag. We may as well call him a hose bag.

  7. At this point there’s nothing Cottonhead can do to save his job. His supporters can talk, bark and chant all day about 4 more years til they are blue in the face. Close to 90000 Americans are dead because of his procrastination and flat out lies.

    1. Dude, joe Biden is like 2 years away from being put into a home. Republicans took a California district earlier this week. Democrats are busy locking people up, while republicans are tryna give people jobs and hope

    2. Logan McLean …Dude…Cottonhead is a divider not a uniter. He is a racist white nationalist who denies it but garnishes full support from them. Too little too late. He is an embarrassment to anyone that loves this country. I could be wrong but I’m assuming you’re a MAGA hat wearer who would be willing to give your life for Cottonhead right? If you are…just know..Cottonhead trump hates you the most.

    3. But watch, no-one will care. In the six years from Jan 1 2014, Americans shot to death over 80,000 fellow Americans. Many of them children. No one did anything to improve gun legislation. No one cared. Nothing happened.
      And what are the options? Biden? it was the likes of Biden and the DNC that gave you Trump in the first place but it goes deeper than that, the USA is a failed society, no cohesion, no common purpose, no leadership, no integrity. it’s every man for himself, all “me me me”.
      You wave your flags and your guns and think that makes you “free”. You’re not free, the country is sick.
      Cheers

    1. @jeff mcgowan You must be used to losing since this lowlife loser cheated his way into office. The US has a vaccine against the corona con man. It’s available in November.

  8. “Looks like by April, you know in theory when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away” and “it will go away, just stay calm. It will go away” – words of a very stable genius who knows lots of stuff

  9. Americans have never had a president fail so terribly in a crisis and so derelict in his duties.
