'Dangerous' For Trump To Say Kids 'Almost Immune' To COVID-19 | The 11th Hour | MSNBC

  1. This is going to be a hard dark Winter. The kids will bring it home and spread it around just in time for the holidays.

    1. Holidays, try as soon as the school open. The virus is surging in over 40 states right now. And that’s with all the kids and universities closed still. The whole US will be a disaster by October, just what Dotard wants so he can declare martial law.

    2. My kids aren’t going back to school….it’s home school and online tutoring…screw that NUT in the people’s house…we have a government right now that doesn’t care for the people….we have to take care of one another till our voices can be heard November 3rd. Or request your mail in ballot really an mail it in so the postal service isn’t over whelmed since TRUMP has appointed a new postal advisor to rig the mail in ballot….once a CON man always a CON man….better believe that an never underestimate SCUM like him !

    1. Theres nothing wrong with Shark Week. The “president”, there’s nothing right about him at all

    1. @Great Course Hub he values two things: money (it’s inherit value) and Ivanka…both, for the wrong reasons. #ewww 😷

    2. Great Course Hub Biden is flawed, creepy, too old and decent. Trump is a corrupt lying bigot. Easy choice.

    3. @Great Course Hub Deflecting much? 🤔

      You won’t even defend Humpty Drumpfty; your fake Lord and Savior?

      You just agreed to what I said. Just be honest and move on. Can you not do that…is that too hard?

      Get some help, a good place to start is: mentalhealth.gov 👍

    1. then your child needs to be protected… but it makes no sense to keep schools shut down to protect children with underlying conditions when the rest of the children dont. Keep your child safe at home and the rest go to school

    2. @Paul Wilson You blatantly dont understand what youre talking about or understand how a virus works.

  2. No other way to explain the US strategy on pandemic except this is a low IQ president….doesnt understand science or data

  3. tRump’s ignorance is so blatantly, it’s obvious he wants children dead by opening up schools too soon, just like he wanted adults dead by opening up the economy too early.

  4. Trump interview, May 2020:
    Reporter: “Mr President, I want to ask you one more question, about the 70k American lives that have been lost. Grandparents, mothers, fathers, sons, daughters… we’ve lost more people now than we lost in the Vietnam War. What do you want to say to those families tonight?”

    “First I want to say that we all warriors now. And as warriors, some of them are going to die. I always felt 70 80 90 100 thousand people. And as horrible as that is….we’re talking about filling up Yankee Stadium with death. BUT as horrible as that is, the number is probably going to be a lot higher than that.”

    Just to put things into perspective:
    Vietnam War 1961 to 75  – 58k Americans died.

    Korean War 1950 to 53 –  36k Americans died.

    WW1 — 116K Americans died.

    The Trump virus, Feb to July – 150k Americans died.

    Never forget..

    1. David J : I am always so grateful to you, for taking the time for these well written presentations. This is why we love you, dude. Never change ✌️👍👏

    2. I’m with you NEVER FORGET THE AMERICAN SOULS LOST ON TRUMP’S WATCH AND THE NUBERS ARE GROWING BY THE 1st OF OCTOBER CLOSE TO 200.000 🇺🇸 😢😱😤

    3. **the harsh reality,, is that we are ,, NOT COUNTING ALL OF THE DEATHS,,, MANY FOLKS HAVE DIED AT HOME OR IN NURSING HOMES,, AND THEIR DEATHS ARE WRITTEN OFF AS NATURAL CAUSES…. EVERY MAJOR CITY,, HAS SEEN A HUGE UPTICK,,, AND FOLKS WHO DIED AT HOME,, WITH PNEUMONIA LIKE SYMPTOMS OR HEART ATTACKS.. MANY OF THESE WERE, CAUSED BY COVID-19….. IN REALITY,,WE ARE MOST LIKELY NEAR 200,000 DEATHS TODAY,, IN THE US….**

    4. its More like the Biden/Obama Bug . Their Administration failed , They had left NO Testing Capacity for the Trump Administration , NO Ventilators , NO nothing . Trump had to BUILD Everything from ZERO , Bur hes a Builder so he got to WORK and did pretty Great , Very fast . Most Ventilators , Best Testing , Lowest Death Rates … Be Thankful & Show respect please ?

    5. We have a long way to go before we match the deaths resulting from the Fascists in World War II: 60,000,000. _That_ is Trump’s wet dream.

    1. Wrong . Hes doing Great , And you should be Thankful . Lowest Death Rates , Best Testing , THE MOST Ventilators , And more . Trump is Crushing the bug , Its on the run . But keep believing the Fake News media ?

    2. xjaskix lowest death rates…? Let me guess where u get ur misinformation from..Faux news ?! Then the 150000 dead must be a cover up like sandy hooks right..? Let’s burst ur bubble Nd introduce u to the truth…. third world countries with a higher population Nd a less developed health care system, still they r doing better than USA…the world’s economy is in a better condition this quarter than the American economy… your president is trying his hardest to do away with the elections….USA is losing its democracy Nd becoming a third world authoritarian regime…. Nd sadly this is happening because people like u allow him to do this…. do u not get it that America is not trump but much much more…ur patriotism should be to ur country Nd ur people not a president…!

  5. Trump couldn’t sell steaks, vodka, water, an airline, casinos, a publication, a mortgage company, a university…but he finally succeeded in selling DEATH

  6. I’m starting to understand why Donnie boy seems resistant to this virus. It’s because the tangerine tyrant is a child. And covid-19 affects children less.

  7. LIES , LIES, LIES AND MORE LIES !!! NOT TRUE !!! JUST LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DISAPPEAR !!! WOOOOOW !!! 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
