President Trump has avoided discussing coronavirus as much as possible, instead downplaying the crisis and even mocking people for wearing masks. Last week, though, the White House announced that both President Trump and the first lady tested positive for Covid-19. This diagnosis makes Trump's strategy of changing the subject virtually impossible.

Hey, Chris here. Do you think Trump’s positive diagnosis will change his approach to the pandemic?
Do you think that trump declassification of Russian documents without redactions will make a difference,
And thats it
Your mask won’t save you from this,
Obama’s administration officials will look great in PINSTRIPES. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👉🤡🤡
@David Miller CNN’s opinion is always biased and non truthful the fact is Trump was never found guilty of anything the Democrats have been associated with China’s government and Russia but CNN’s political side will not tell the truth I stopped watching when they refuse to look at the Democrats especially nancy and Joe and still listening to shifty
Of course not. Never, the end.
Nancy Quon lucky ? Hahah he has a 99.8% chance of making a full recovery
Hey CNN…go ahead and put it on your website…breaking news with the declassification of Clinton and Obama.. thanks .. 🤣
“The good thing about science is it’s true whether or not you believe in it.” Neil deGrasse Tyson.
@Cluser Everett Google it.
In 1970, The Boston Globe ran the headline, “Scientist predicts a new ice age by 21st century.” The Washington Post, for its part, published a Columbia University scientist’s claim that the world could be “as little as 50 or 60 years away from a disastrous new ice age.”
Some of the more dire predictions came from Paul Ehrlich, a biologist who famously urged population control to mitigate the impacts of humans on the environment. Ehrlich, in 1969, warned that “everybody” would “disappear in a cloud of blue steam in 20 years,” The New York Times reported.

So especially, Biden’s family and his son got very very big money and big business with CCP! They also let hundreds of thousands CCP’s”cientists,students”spy to come to USA to steal USA’s technology. HILLARY’S brother even gets over a hundred thousands dollars of commissions from every of them who comes to USA.now FBI almost every 10 hours to arrest or sue a ccp’s spy! trump’s administration is really too hard! Except power and money, Democrats don’t care about USA’s safety, they can even sell the USA only for take back the white house, for power, the ultimate goal for money!!!!! Like Hillary,Clinton,Obama,

Many states even made up false mortality to attacks him. But in USA each states take measures independently, like NY state CUOMO, he’d rather let more old die, but hide the respirator in the warehouse.But no any media expose him. Because his brother controls CNN. Now Pelosi can’t be tough anymore, because too much evidence of Obama,Biden,Clinton,even herself…..s’ corrupt, lies,child molestation, dirty dealings has been revealed.

@Duerer SKY Your medication needs reassessment. It’s clearly not working. Either that or you are one of the biggest propaganda victims I have ever read. But maybe also your joining YouTube only a few months ago has something to do with trolling by the Russian Special Media Unit…All you have said here (patently false “facts” and gibberish) goes to show that you have all the features of a complete conspiracy fantasy loony….
So the Prez is now a Medium? 🤣😂
no. A “wanna be” Dictator maybe. 😱

I have a feeling it was all stage
Trump’s niece called him a mass murderer last night on CNN.
“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking.” — Joe Biden, describing fellow candidate Barack Obama.
does your shrink know your on youtube?
I believe that title would be held by George bush and Obama trying to start their NWO. They were at war their entire term in office.
And he’s ready to kill us all or as many as he can. We need Almighty God’s help

Notice that physical tic he has. When he’s telling a big marketing lie his left elbow flares out. See 0:36.
Once you’ve noticed it you’ll never not see it again.
Trump is now officially a “Superspreader” – of lies AND Covid19.

For the idiots say that Donald Trump has the best doctor’s in the world that’s why Trump is better from Covid-19. I would rather be half his age not obese and have no doctor at all from having coronavirus.
Trump says, “Don’t be afraid of Covid.” How many Americans receive the same medical care as the president to avoid fear of the virus? Think not with emotions, but with your mind. Vote for someone who really cares about people.
@Mike Smith Well it’s better than dying in droves.. if everyone stayed home and wore masks for a a few weeks .. America could beat this virus.. but your arrogance will be what consumes you in the end… Sad

But he has managed brilliantly to STOP everyone discussing his tax evasion though.
@Jeremy Ramey No worries, you too.
@Dan Willow 1. The IRS IS investigating him
2. Presidents don’t write laws. Congress does, and guess who was running Congress then.. that’s right, it was Republicans.
For the moment.
@BMO Computes Lol, so it was only republicans that wrote all of the tax laws. Give me a break. The IRS is auditing Trump, but that is all you or anyone else knows about it, you can only speculate if he actually did anything wrong.
@Duerer SKY get help. You need to speak to a professional.
No worries the virus will go away like “”miracle”” we have to trust our president . Be patient 😷no need for mask 🤣🤣🤣.
exactly!!!! he is brave and we should follow him then the world will be safe again!!!
he is literally a HERO !!!
Trump is strong and you hate it.
“Everybody has had a test”
Didn’t he willfully come late so no tests could be performed on his team?
Orange baby trump: “Don’t let it dominate your lives” , after he got his treatments from seven doctors and five nurses. He does not care about those over 200k death. He’s the greatest con artist in the history of the world. It is what he is about me, me, me…!
cool story, bro
Didn’t you get the memo, you guys need to listen to your own CDC, (with a bit of humour) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4hrHAefWaY&ab_channel=AwakenWithJP
Also, did you know that each year approx 60mill people die and this year we are on track for 58mill so where is the pandemic? If Americans, in general, are overweight, with multiple comorbidities who’s responsible for that? Could it possibly be the individual that should take care of their own health or will you just continue to blame the orange man?
Lol, that number is very inflated. There are countless instances where a person actually died from another cause but had corona virus so they counted it as a corona death. What you should wonder is why when Brennan informed Obama of Hillary Clinton’s fabricated Trump-Russian collusion hoax, why he did not do anything to stop it? It is because they wanted to distract the public from Hillary’s illegal use of a private server for her emails. This is the big story, and attempted coup on the President of the united states which implicates all future presidents on both sides of the isle.
For the idiots say that Donald Trump has the best doctor’s in the world that’s why Trump is better from Covid-19. I would rather be half his age not obese and have no doctor at all from having coronavirus.
“This may be the only story until the election”
Have these last 4 years taught you people nothing!?
Something worse will happen in 2 or 3 days…. it always does….
He wants so bad to be tough guy. He’s got a 50yr history of being anything but a tough guy. NO sympathy . I hope he gets what he’s been asking for.
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👊🏽
I hope he gets booted from office for his reckless decision making
He’s going to get over Covid, pick up his third supreme justice pick, win re election, and then earn the Nobel Piece Prize. And I am going to be laughing at you libtards getting triggered the whooooole time. Hahahaha! #Winning #Trump2020 #FillThatSeat
Trump is strong. How upset Fake News was when he came back so quick. Do not let the virus dominate you.
Don the on speaks without knowing one
bit.Never believable in his life
