Coronavirus Threat: To The Economy, And The Presidency | The Day That Was | MSNBC

  1. As the Virus spreads this WH Administration keeps playing “Confederacy Of Dunces” in real time.๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜œ

    1. โ€ฆ and for the Confederacy, it’s just one more thing that can’t be killed with a forty-five.

    2. American people wake up vote for Bernie Sanders that’s like your life depends on it because it does. Medicare for all like the Canada plan that has tested 400,000 is better to stop an epidemic.vote like your life depends on it because it does.

    1. Trump kept saying the fatality rate is very๏ผŒ very low, less than 1% or even as low as 0. 1% and it is like a mild flu. If that is true, why stop the passengers oboard the cruise ship from embarking. Why evacuating the US citizen back from China ??? Why? Why??

  2. He’s a psychopath everything is about him. No the world is not waiting for the US. We here in Canada are not relying on the Orange Pimple.

    1. Michigan Wolverine you should take advantage of your second amendment and do Darwin a favour and us too!

    2. Joe Paleface maybe if you traveled outside your country (nor county which you have probably never left), you would find that most of the world hates Trump and his cult.

    3. America First happy to hear it, we donโ€™t really want stupid people to come here. Do us a favour and keep inbreeding.

  3. Trump: “the tests are perfect, like THE LETTER was perfect”.there’s a man still smarting amd bitter about his congressional impeachment.

    1. @Gavin He was impeach. Now, that was fact. But, the Senate save him from the remove from office. Just like Clinton that impeach still on his record.

  4. Just know that whenever Trump speaks, it is a lie! Do not trust him or his loyalists! Watch the news except Fox, to get accurate information. Vote anyone but Trump in Nov., 2020!!!

    1. We need Medicare for all so that all Americans could be tested and treated when we have an epidemic at the door

  5. The world is NOT,, relying on us. They are way ahead of us in testing and preparing for the obvious. We are just saying what we re, saying a lot.

    1. It all about common sense and following protocals and listening to the medical experts and the doctors donโ€™t take anything that trump says with a grain of salt .

    1. Fortunately they have access to the local state officials to get a real number and real access to test kits. He worries about the number, but the number will double in a week anyways. I think in some countries citizens hear you are safe from the virus if you are young and healthy, that made a lot of those people treat the virus like the flu. If you treat it like the flu and the symptoms are mild you will continue to go about your life, because people with mild flu symptoms don’t know if it is flu or a cold. I feel in this country there is more concern, and at minimum you are concerned about spreading it to older family member of friends if you get it. Trump’s economy has already had a bad first quarter and because of the world situation the 2nd quarter can also be counted on as bad, if the economy turns around at all this year this bad economy may already be baked into the results by election time. And negative adds talking about the economy and this first 3 months of the US outbreak will get the message across without even having to play blame game.

    2. SANDERS BELIEVES IN SCIENCE, AND MEDICARE FOR ALL WILL SAVE LIVES. GOD BLESS AND PROTECT BERNIE SANDERS AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO WAKE UP AND VOTE LIKE OUR LIVES DEPEND ON IT BECAUSE THEY DO BERNIE 2020

  6. If you’re concerned about coronavirus just watch Fox News, it’s barely a problem there. As the Trump motto goes “A pound of ignorance is better than an ounce of knowledge”

  7. To Trump, the coronavirus is just a market problem or a PR problem. He’ll tell the supposedly-apolitical Fed to lower the rates. He’ll hold more rallies and tell FOXed to run more surveys that make him look better. He’ll secretly make tests harder to get in order to keep the numbers artificially low. Maybe he’ll visit Seattle and toss bottles of hand sanitizer into the crowd. Like the Mooch famously said, he doesn’t see people as people, he sees them only as objects in his field of vision.

      Speaking the truth is not TDS. Trump tells us every day that he only cares about the political optics whenever he opens his mouth. He obviously has no idea what to do. We know he disbanded to pandemic surveillance group and itโ€™s obvious heโ€™s clueless. But idiots like you just go around labeling any criticism as TDS. Itโ€™s sad that people like you donโ€™t want to acknowledge the reality of what a complete failure this administration is.

    1. We need A HEALTHCARE PLAN LIKE CANADA HAS WHERE THEY HAVE TESTED 400,000 ALREADY. VOTE FOR BERNIE SANDERS LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT BECAUSE IT DOES

    1. Never mind a mask someone wash his face he looks rediculous orange with white eyes and white hands. Seriously is there no soap in the Whitehouse lmfao

  8. Well if you have your grandparents on that ship. no matter if Republicans or democrats. You can truly see that Trump don’t care

    1. As long as HIS numbers donโ€™t double. What a disgrace. Same thing happened in Puerto Rico, he stuck to 16 people dying and compared it to other hurricanes. And in the end 3000 people died in Puerto Rico but he lies to keep numbers low under his administration. ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

  9. What a genius why hasn’t he come up with a cure for bone spurs and compulsive eating . .. and orange rosacea๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ”ต๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

    1. @Showcase Success imagine if you would have went to Vietnam as a doctor helping the wounded man we really missed out on this guy (45)…sp4 Republic of Vietnam December 70 December 71 Saigon…

    2. We need a health care plan for all Americans like Canada has where they’ve tested 400,000 people. VOTE FOR BERNIE SANDERS AND MEDICARE FOR ALL LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT BECAUSE IT DOES

  10. Trump just parties ๐ŸŽ‰ like itโ€™s nothing. WTH is wrong with this man. Heโ€™s disturbing.

    1. What’s wrong with the marxist dictator moron AOC pimping children and bots to be slaves to government and government control

    2. Hey look everyone….Jeff Woods is one of those trump zombies that “likes” his own comments! LMFAO!
