Chris Hayes On Trump’s ‘Desperate Search’ For COVID-19 Scapegoat | All In | MSNBC

Chris Hayes: “But there's no way out. He's locked in the room with the virus and we're all locked in there with him. And rather than try to solve the problem, all the President can do is try to change the subject. But it isn't working.” Aired on 04/30/2020.

    1. @Reg U What’s the matter Little Trophy Participation winner? Did ur brain blow a fuse r ur hair catch fire?

    2. Fake news. It is a Chinese virus, Trump did not cause it. Stop defending murderous Communist regimes and grow the f up already.

    3. @Whicker Boy annnnnnnd meanwhile the trumpturds handing out money to his rich donors……

  1. If somebody said let’s find the most pathetic person on the planet an make him president of the United State, Donald Trump is what you would have

    1. Whicker Boy Whilst 43,000 millionaires will receive a1.6 million dollar stimulus check.

    2. Michael Gibb you mean New York who fought back and ignored Trump? The New York who continues with there China Town parade and all that against the advise of experts? The New York that was last to shut down? The democratically controlled New York? That’s what your hanging your hat on? Don’t compare the US to South Korea that’s stupid. The US does ten folds the amount of international travel South Korea does. There’s also no true number they were reporting everyone with any symptoms to have the virus. It’s so much political bs and you prove that point.

    1. @Dale Blake your to far gone. You would not change your bias position no matter how much evidence comes out. If you ever realize how wrong you have been for believing lies from the news I’ll be here for you. The biggest scandal in US history has most people curious but not you.

    2. @Mark Haddox I bet the reverse is true. You know everything I said is true. This is just a political bent over, that’s all. November will come and we’ll find out the fates of these corruptions.

    3. @Fire Ice the Democrats haven’t excepted a loss in a presidential election since 88. I know because I was one for most of my life. I voted for Obama the 1st time. Now the Republicans are also saying there is election fraud.
      You can try to spin this but there is no denying that Obama’s FBI WAS doing illegal surveillance on the Trump campaign. At some point in all of these investigations the investigators knew there was no evidence of Russian collusion/conspiracy. But they kept fishing for anything they could. It should have never started because the only source was false opposition research from the DNC. You are just ok with governmental agencies becoming a weapon to be used against your political opponents. The American people are not ok with this abuse of power.

    4. @Mark Haddox And one more thing, Flynn originally pleaded guilty, why do you think that is?? Barr get’s appointed with the power to get anyone of the hook and then he changes his plea?? What a coincidence don’t you think??

    1. @Frank White Mine isn’t as clever but: His tiny orange mushroom brain is broken.
      Not only is he morally and genetically corrupt, he’s mentally corrupt as well.
      His whole apparatus for taking in information and processing it like an adult human is non-operational.

    2. ChrisCrashNow I hope you didn’t intend for Trump to read this. He won’t understand a single word. Reprehensible means great, right?

  2. His great economy. The economy was a fake just like this lying wig wearing, fake tan having, president. Now he has nothing to brag about. I know according to him and his brainless cult followers it’s president Obama’s fault.

    1. But um…didn’t Obama say that the great economy was all because of him? you know, BEFORE the pandemic happened…

    2. @Bob Heck Oh! I touched a nerve!
      Lesson for you to-day: Write 10 times:”I will not write bad things on the you-tube any more!!”

  3. He’s blaming everyone including discrediting the media . Like Stalin, Mussolini, Castro and his good buddy Putin .

    1. Don’t forget that in 2015 Fox News started running a new theme, “Obama isn’t as strong of a leader as Putin.” I had no idea where it came from at the time, but I suspect that an independent investigation will show collusion between Fox and Moscow.

    2. @R D 3 years ago Bannon said we would be at war in South China Sea in a few years. Their trying to start it.

  4. Reporter: “You said that America will soon be testing 5 million people a day. Do you stand by that estimate?”

    Trump: “I never said that, but somebody did. I heard it too. You know what….I think it might have been that deep state imposter who’s been going around posing as me. It’s the same deep state imposter that said the virus was a hoax, and that maybe we should look at using disinfectants to treat the coronavirus. I haven’t  been able to find this elusive and very sarcastic deep state imposter, but the search continues.”

    1. @Albert Green You lost me when you said, Hostile Media. He just doesn’t like being asked the tough questions and then goes on a tirade calling them “Nasty.”

    2. @Albert Green nice defence now do
      Raking forests
      Windmill cancer
      Flushing 15 times
      Russia if.your listening
      I believe Putin
      Going to disappear in April.

    3. @Albert Green five million a day would be great. that means that wed have two months and were done.

    4. @Football Nerd along with itll go from 14 to zero and leave by spring. no cases in summer and surely no flare ups in november. glad hes focused on his re-election speech as that means he isn’t too overwhelmed by covid.

    5. @Albert Green Did he not say wed be there very soon. if he doesn’t have the answers atleast have the courage to not jerk peoples chains. You obviously think this is about media hating him. He owes the usa the DIGNITY of dignified responses.

  5. Don’t people just long for the day that they can put on the news channel and don’t have to listen to Trumps immoral stupidity cause I do.

    1. Mark Feland you know it Mark mate I’ve never known a politician in the western civilised world to act the way trump acts in the 58 years that I’ve been alive he is becoming or has become a dictator stay safe brother from Stevie in Britain

    2. Diana Lynn Diana Lynn you know it darling it would be great to put on the news and not have to listen to Trumps insanity for a few weeks but the way this virus is going that’s gonna be a while yet stay safe from Stevie in Britain

    3. @Steve Dee here in Canada we’re not easing border restrictions with the U.S. anytime soon

    4. Mark Feland I don’t blame you Mark my friend, I saw your president sat next to trump a little while ago and he didn’t know where to put his face on one of trumps pathetic little speeches at the White House trumps slowly becoming a dictator and America is just standing by and allowing it to happen stay safe Mark from Stevie in Britain

  6. Fake hair,fake tan,fake bone spurs, fake stable genius,fake crowd size, fake university,fake tax return, fake wall, fake election count. And we don’t know the half of it. Wake the fake up.

    1. Well! …. it looks like America is Finally reaping the results of sitting back for 3.5 years & never holding their Demented, Dysfunctional, Corrupt. Lying Sack of Bloated Fertilizer of a President Accountable for ANYTHING!!
      I’ve tried commenting to light a fire under your butt’s for years, but it’s clearly Hopeless!!
      Soon you will all be dead!!

    2. PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR ONE DID NOT START THIS.
      HE HAS BEEN DOING HIS BEST TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM PANIC AS WELL AS TRYING TO KEEP A POSITIVE OUTLOOK ON THE SITUATION AND DEALING WITH THE MEDIA, THE DEMOCRATS AND THE OTHERS WHOM OFFER NOTHING. SO GIVE THE MAN A BREAK.

    3. Glenn Sankey You are kidding. This is no time to kid around. And btw you have your computer locked on Capitals.They’re the big letters at the start of sentences. They are used in other cases too, but I don’t want to get it confusing.

    1. @Ghost_Troupe What has Trump done? I ask that seriously. What, objectively and measurably, has Trump done?

    2. Mignon Simpson its not as if we didnt know who trump was. A desperate attention seeker and wannabee elite new yorker. He was a joke before this and now the joke has become deadly. He needs to catch the virus, now.

    3. @Allosaurus Fragilis im beginning to think that even the.virus doesn’t want to touch him . Who knows what ungodly virus mutation might come out of that.

    4. @Mignon Simpson Trump 20 is a horrible thought. It looks as though Americans are going to open up and pretend the virus doesn’t exist. Good luck with that. After what’s happened in NYC it’s hard to believe you’d risk repeating it in every major city in the US. I can’t think of any reason why the virus wouldn’t spread the same way in Houston, LA or Chicago. Lockdown is avwaste of time if you just stop before you’ve at the very least flattened the curve.

    5. @Allosaurus Fragilis everything in life has a price Andi don’t necessarily mean money. If you are willing to pay the price go for it. If not you might want to take a different path. We are each of us responsible for ourselves and our actions or lack thereof. I’ve been self quarantining for years now during flu season if I want to live and I do and practicing good habits like wearing a mask. I didn’t need the government to tell me to do this. I limit personal contact. I get out once a week and do everything I need to do then. This is my normal during flu season and that simply got extended. I do what I have to to remain alive. Staying alive is my ultimate goal. My life is what I make it. This is my choice. I interact with others through texting and phone calls. I have land that I can wander about on. I read listen to music and try to stay busy with subjects that interest me like history and economics. Right now I’m trying to come to grips with this new math plaguing parents. I have to find that box to think outside of but it’s definitely challenging. Life is what you make it under any circumstances. You can prevail or you can let it defeat you.

    1. Fascism is not about restricting free speech. Communists have proven highly restrictive of free speech. Mussolini, Hitler & Franco all agreed that Marxism & communism were beneath contempt. Restricting free speech is a tactic, not a philosophical principle, & one not restricted to fascists.

      If you want to understand what fascism is, you must understand it on its own terms that its own adherents agreed upon. If you read the writings & speeches of the actual fascists, three key aspects arise in all of them.

      Fascism is populist palingenetic nationalism. Fascists tell the people they (populism) can bring about a deserved rebirth (palingenetic) of national superiority (nationalism) if only the people unify behind a “chosen” leader.

      Moreover, fascists vilify political institutions as corrupt & move to transgress against all legal & customary restraint on whatever legal authority they hold.

      Trumpism is fascism.

      QED

    1. @Anne Liesveld Yes they are. Especially the vunerable young. Those born or grew up with a disease that the healthy would not understand. The problem is sending ‘healthy’ children/teens to school, college. Everyone knows a child catches a cold at school, it spreads through out the whole family most likely. The problem there is, this is not just a cold or a flu. It is far more contagious leading to severe illness, longer recovery time & death.

    1. Trump: “I alone can fix it!”
      Trump 3 years later: “I can’t do anything.”

      It’s amazing, how the right somehow cheers Trump as some kind of hero, while at the same time shielding him from any kind of criticism, because everyone BUT Donnie has to do actual work.

    2. Just a laughable comment from the F’kn Moron. Yeah the tests were broken for a virus that didn’t exist yet. Trump relishes in displaying his stupidity. He needs to drink some Clorox or inject it. The best thing he could do for the U.S.

    3. @K653 Planet Dark Matter No, that’s only a “good” thing. Given the long list of GOP-failures becoming POTUS, t-Rump 16 is just a symptom, not the problem. The problem is FAUX-propaganda and the almost 40% of US citizen who still support Trump, while he is basicaly doing nothing besides watching TV during a pandemic.

  7. How could one man ruin this country in such a short amount of time? To those who died for this country in the past: WE ARE SORRY.

    1. He’s had a lot of help from his enablers and the crooks who put him “in charge” so the public would blame someone else, not them.
      The puppet in chief doesn’t know he’s a fall guy.

  8. He’s never been and never will be a president.
    He’s not even remotely close to that.
    He’s a conman, a fraud, a spoiled narcissist who believes he’s above everything.

    1. Manuel – your moron hero is a Precedent. Don’t mistake this imbecile for a President. He was shy 3,000,000 (that’s 3 million) popular votes in 2016.

  9. Paraphrasing a post on another site: What do Viet Nam and the pandemic have in common? Trump didn’t fight in either of them.
