  1. We knew this in 2016 when a real, loose cannon Narcissist was elected. We knew this was probable not just possible with trump.

  2. Touching a lot of wood, but so far his desire to not be responsible for another war may be his only redeeming quality

    1. After this segment Cuomo can tell us how his brother handled senior citizens with coronavirus. And I hope Cuomo report on the mass shootings crimes and civil unrest resulting from his brothers weak leadership, his evil dangerous policies have many wealthy residents fleeing from New York

    1. @Chris C They are sub human magotts, who blindly follow, anything, that their stupid imbecile says, Chump has over 150,000 innocent peoples blood on his stubby little hands, and still counting, now the illiterate fool, wants to sacrifice our childrens lives, to try to save his no chance of winning in Nov, cant wait till he is playing drop the soap in prison instead of golf, so yes brain dead zombies who still support this idiot, are indeed parasites.

    2. Mariann Boreck> You are passionate and angry about this subject. Yes you are right but they people just like yourself & they too have the right to remain ignorant, clueless & oblivious to wants going on.

    3. @Chris C Chris you really sound like a nice person, but, i stand by what i said, i had an incident where i said somethong against Chump, and this crackpot, Trumpster wants to literally harm me, i am talking about a white supremicist nut, many of his base are so inclined, to violence condoned by this tyrant! So yes they are brain dead magotts!

    4. Mariann Boreck< Thank you. I definitely support what you say, they are morons ignorant idiots stupid but there’s still a humans. I am not for or against Trump. I wish him the best. I face the same problem nobody wants to have an honest open dialogue about him. They want to bring me harm as well. They are like the religious lunatics that belief in a book and if you don’t support their beliefs. They too want to harm you or wish harm on you.

    5. @Chris C yes, Chris, Jesus, my Savior, does wants us to love our enemies, easier said than done though, im not against all Trump supporters just the violent crazy, white supremicists base, which here in Fl, is rampant, with these neo naziis, and Chump encourages the chaos, and violence, he loves it!

  3. If this president has to be briefed the same way as a four-year-old, maybe he
    shouldn’t be president.
    Maybe it’s time for him to go. Now.

    1. Eugene they dont realise that they have been subverted by marxists. Sssh. Dont wake them up. Let the west crumble so these leftists will learn what marxism truly is.

  4. He’ll never say anything bad about Russia cause he’s afraid they’ll release his trump rump video.

    1. Jim Gibbons the congress voted to up sanctions. Trump was forced to comply. 👵🇨🇦

    2. @James Johnson Trump China ban still let in 42,000 foreign nationals and the virus came in from Europe. By your own theory over population, but Trump will not confront Putin for bounty on US soldiers, why because Trump owes Putin money when no US bank will lend him money because he default on 5 billion loan to Deutsche bank

    1. And that’s any worse than where we are now? Sigh, some people’s priorities lol. Using what they are talking about you would rather was than immigrants we already we’re dealing with 😂😂😂😂😂😩

    2. @BIDEN has promised to give amnesty to ALL illegals But wouldn’t all 11 million THEN have to PAY taxes? And 11 million MORE actually PAYING Taxes unlike Trump who doesn’t pay ANY taxes wouldn’t THAT be BETTER???

    3. @F00LSG0LD215 No. Because they aren’t already paying taxes now. You think there all the sudden going to start paying taxes with the wave of a magic wand🤣

  5. Trump’s staff have to treat him like a child and use little children teaching methods, like flash cards to teach him anything.

    1. @Emma Gebhart Actually, hes improving it. Or at least trying to now. He oughtta get that cure.

    2. @StevePiPi Productions Too late. Trump has already ensured that’s where we’re headed with his stupid, stupid handling of the virus.

    1. Whoa, a lot of the Dump cult followers replying here. Reasonable people can simply watch Dump speak and know that he’s fairly stupid, has poor vocabulary and hates anyone who isn’t a white republican. No one has to rely on other people (CNN or anyone else for that matter), the proof of his idiocy is evident.

    2. I mean it Is a 79 year old vs a 75 year old. Neither are firing on all cylinders at this point
      😂😩

    3. @Bumblebee Optimus Prime – So you don’t watch ‘news’ but somehow you believe you are well informed. So who do you get your ‘propaganda free’ information from then? Please tell us. Thing is you just have to listen to the un-edited, un-filtered actual words from Trump to see what a stupid, lying, con-man he is. He’s been doing this schtick for decades!

    1. @Paradox World They reduced full briefings down to 3 bullet points,…………and he didn’t even read THOSE!!!!!😆😆😆😆

    1. @louis grant What were those poll #s in 2016 — or were you too young to care back then?

      Maybe you can answer. What taught snowflakes to be such COWARDS?

      😊

    1. Eugene- stop drinking. They didn’t do baloney. Crimea is south of Ukraine; next to Russia. Stop deflecting or your deplorable slop bucket you call a brain is going to melt…..

    2. @Eugene So. You wanted the USA to go to war with Russia over Crimea? You are a psycho! Another MAGA traitor who needs a cell in GITMO!

  6. Hold The senate leadership responsible for not allowing this to come out during impeachment, a bunch of traitors!

    1. Eugene I think if you where there it had to do with the might of the Russian military and the support of a lot of Russian people living in Crimea.

    2. Matthew Clements yes immigrants from Soviet occupation, might as well give the rest of the iron curtain I guess as well with that criteria.

    3. WO Cookie Crimea was part of Soviet Union since more than a century ago. Other ethnic groups with their own languages and currencies are more populous in the other iron curtain countries. It’s quite obvious speaking with people on a recent visit (to Bulgaria, Serbia, Romania, Croatia and Hungary) that they much prefer socialism than being under the thumb of the Russians as was before Perestroika.

    4. Matthew Clements Crimea has been fought over for a 100 years and more, my ancestors were German immigrants in Crimea, my great grandfather escaped on a steamer to New York after watching Ukrainian Cossacks kill his whole family. Very contested area, also the birthplace of the Victoria cross, in Britain from a war here.

    5. WO Cookie Indeed. I hope the right wing Americans won’t tell you to go home to your own country !

    1. @Timakaceh Man no with biden they would just say ice cream truck out side with some comie pamplits

    1. An impeachment is an indictment. It has a lot to do with democrats and little or nothing to do with Trump. Once we get red of the democrats in the house, we can impeach democrats. A bad case of round worms would be less trouble.

  7. Trump said “I spoke with my generals and we think this was an attack.” He lied. He never spoke to any generals and it was not an attack.

    1. @Leroy 100 Except he never “spoke” to his generals? Because his generals came out and said, WTF you talking about. 🙂 The problem is the lying, not the “we think”.

    2. Hifiving Starfish you don’t know. You weren’t there. He has many Generals. As many as you have conspiracies probably. Lighten up Francis. Smoke a Doobie. Quit stressing out trying to find new reasons to hate Trump.

  8. “To be an enemy of the US can be dangerous, to be a friend is fatal” – Henry Kissinger
    “We lie, we cheat, we steal” – Mike Pompeo…

    1. “Military men are dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy” –Henry Kissinger

    2. @John Doe “I don’t want to hurt them….they’re good people.” – Donald Trump on 60 Minutes when asked about whether he’s going to lock Hillary Clinton up, November 13th 2016

    3. @John Freedman “Henry Kissinger has been a friend of mine…I’ve liked him. I’ve respected him. But we’ve been friends for a long time, long before my emergence into the world of politics…” – Donald Trump (Oct 17th 2017)
