Hey, Chris here – what mental health resources are you using during this time?
It’s pretty sick how long you media trash are carrying on—giving support to Antifa rioters. All this destruction to OUR communities just gets encouraged.

I’m not and I desperately need it right now. I’ve never felt so angry, scared, and hurt before. Everytime his name is mentioned I get physically ill. I don’t mean that in any sarcastic or funny way either. I just know that Everytime he speaks it’s not to make anything better, it’s to further destroy the lives we worked so hard to build and rights we desperately try to maintain. Everyday the urge to lay in bed and cry is stronger than my urge to go to work or even eat. I just can’t anymore. I’ve never voted but I assure you I will in November. I’m done with this lump pretending to be a man.
@ROB112 pathetic. U can’t even answer a question straight out. You have to talk down and criticize. It’s people like you who’ve destroyed the free world. You will have to answer for your crimes one day soon
Ironic that all the names he calls others are in actuality his own shortcomings.
@Robert Clawson and Obama was a much better president.
@Nicole Cordova Trump is now know as #bunkerbaby!!
@Amos Cardoza Who prosecuted more lawful whistleblowers than all other US Presidents combined? Why would Obama do that if he was scandal free? Obama is the best Liar in Chief.
The U.S. desperately needs a President ASAP🇺🇸
@Charles Mckinney What make you the enemy or deplorable?
It’s called projection. A living breathing example.
@Robert Clawson Robert, please go back to your safe space at FOX or OAN. Trump shows signs of mental illness every single day. What planet do you live on. Are you trapped in some parallel universe where Trump is not a complete IDIOT.
stop looking in the mirror
yup, 100% projection.
Nothing is more projection then a liberal who think the demo rats are going to help him by , nominating a senile old rapist, who cant even string 2 sentences together . CNN and DNC is not deluded, that they think, that they can do that. They know, that their people, voting for demo rats are actually that stupid !
cnn spinning another tale i see. i want to play to who other then trump can get the africa american community and cop to hug.
It’s rather obvious he’s blasting people for mental illness because he’s insecure about his own state of mind.
@John michael Wow – I’ll bet you think you’re a Christian. But you’re definitely going to Hell.
@brian gardner A very sick man.
@NOEL MOITRA All the of the left today has lost its mind for the last four years. They are twisted mentally by the hate. You know in yourself that you have always hated the person who was the chose of the whole nation to be president. Get over it. He will win reelection. It is you who are sick
Nothing shows mental issues more ,then a liberal who think the demo rats are going to help him by , nominating a senile old rapist, who cant even string 2 sentences together . CNN and DNC is not deluded, that they think, that they can do that. They know, that their people, voting for demo rats are actually that crazy !
He has no mind because he’s brain dead. Adderall will do that to a person, also a heart attack which is something he should have.
It’s called projection, which he does CONSTANTLY, no matter what he’s talking about. HE’S the one with mental issues.
brian gardner bet you can’t even describe what a “leftist” is.
@thegags Its actually very simple. they belive in russian collusion, avenatti,covington, sham impeahment etc and everthing cnn tells them .They actually belive that, the dnc, who is nominating a senile rapist who cant even string 2 sentences together , is their solution
Bigly!
@cessna caravan Yawn, troll.
@brian gardner Suuuuurrreee, troll.
When the president makes fun of issues that he has himself
Trump isn’t making fun of other people’s mental illness… He’s condemning them!
you mean 44
The U.S. desperately needs a President ASAP🇺🇸
@Robert Clawson The WHOLE WORLD is laughing at trump, but they respect Obama and Biden!
@Robert Clawson 👈 a really scared Trump supporter❗ November is not looking too good is it.
Everyone knows he’s the sick one.

@*Omniscient* * Observator* We have 1, his name is trump. he will be around, another 4 years
Nothing shows mental issues more ,then a liberal who think the demo rats are going to help him by , nominating a senile old rapist, who cant even string 2 sentences together . CNN and DNC is not deluded, that they think, that they can do that. They know, that their people, voting for demo rats are actually that crazy !
He projects – he accuses other of his behavior
@Julia Nafuna Oh and I don’t give a damn whether you are a demoncrat or not! You don’t have any sense because you believe everything the MSM says! You drink their Kool Aid!
You would know right? That’s why you are here in YouTube comments like a real intellectual. Lmao
@El Donaldo Facts are better right? I said what I said
ok nutter boomer
@Julia Nafuna you’re brainwashed zombie, fake news did a good job programming you. Democrats= Satan… From murdering babies, to hate and division and everything in between. You’re sick. When you leave this world, you will know what hell is
He’s just repeating what people have been saying to him his entire life. He does the mirror thing all the time. When he can’t get the complexity of what people are telling him about himself, he panics…he’s just ‘fine’…everyone else is ‘crazy’. He’s also young and thin.
@Carmen Flores we…need… joebiden
TRUMP 2020 BISH
Indeed! He is a very young man…..in some Adderall induced delirium.
@Razu Haque Nothing is more stupid then a liberal who think the demo rats are going to help him by , nominating a senile old rapist, who cant even string 2 sentences together . CNN and DNC is not deluded, that they think, that they can do that. They know, that their people, voting for demo rats are actually that stupid !
@El Donaldo Being an unsuccessful heir and a reality show star does necessarily qualify someone to be POTUS. People realized this.
He’s the perfection of PRojEction !
The names and such he uses to intimidate everyone is all about him, all of the time.
He is very very sick in the head. He shows that supremely every time he claims he is a Stable Genius.
lmao…….does it have a brain, you think?

Yeshttps://youtu.be/xK2BSydwSHw
He’s sick!
VERY SICK OLD MAN>
He’s deflecting, everybody knows he’s a sociopath.
Size trump isn’t a victim, he’s a ❄️
@Neil O. crawl back into your hole.
@Angie Sargent The truth is you’re a muppet
@Darren Danger I will but I’ll be dragging somebody with me.
Everyone who knows stuff go-to news networks designed to get more viewers. Right
There is a reason why schools Dont teach about the HAITIAN REVOLUTION .. this is why
Living with depression and anxiety in these times is not easy. I just try to avoid everyone, do my shopping in one go at a time when I know the store is near to empty. Sleep a lot. Watch comedy.
Me too sorry to say… Retired, No family and live alone, So the STAY AT HOME safety didn’t effect my life in the least… Shop early mornings ONLY…. Bipolar and can’t be around people….
But I’m not as crazy as Trump thank God… Chlorine bleach injection and UV lights up your butthole take the cake…!
Same
Stop watching cnn, your depression will thank you
Same. Thank goodness for fmla or I would be unemployed. This year has been a rough one
I was listening to Elvis Presley “IN THE GHETTO” 1st reaction on youtube
This 1969 song proves that not much has changed for the black community in Five decades (51y). Lots of promises made, non kept. They say that the definition of insanity is to “Repeat something over and over again and expect a different result” Change your vote, change your community.
That’s my Opinion. What’s yours?
A BULLY MENTALITY WILL NEVER STOP PUTTING PEOPLE DOWN.
Corona virus is the bully and he is not racist he loves everyone. Democrats tried everything and they didn’t succeed and now they give Corona virus to kill and to crash the economy. The globalists and Democrats are responsible for the Corona virus.
A 64 year old woman was raped and beaten by a 34or35 years black man, she was in a coma. Where are they the meetoo women. The meetoo movement is applied only to rich and prominent men.
@Uncle Ed joe Biden bin laden is a zombie.
@GEOFFREY BAKER joe Biden is a disease.

Remember when Trump pointed to his head and said- I have a good. . .one of these..
Yes he has .
Projecting again. He’s one of the most unstable (and tiresome) people out there.
Yes Trump has actually become boring! Same nonsense day in and day out. He’s a big Space Force fan, why not send him to Mars so he could resign with no fear of indictment?
Anyone out there who hates Trump more than I do?
And she mocked his weight, so what? Lefties, they dish it out but they squeal like piggies on the other end.
“Hey Melania how about calling out a bully when you see one”
