    1. What about “to feel” I’m sure they have felt the loss of a loved one who died from COVID-19 all because of Trump’s incompetence.

  1. Bad enough that we’ve had to deal with the virus, but to intentionally mislead the public is a thousand times worse. Now we’re close to 200K that have succumbed to HIS neglect. He really should be charged with this.

    1. People who have lost family to covid should be able to sue Trump!! Now we know why Moscow Mitch won’t agree to a stimulus package until his (No liability clause) can be factored into it.

    2. So…where is accountability for the president. No one dares take the next step for fear that Donald Trump will do something to their careers.

    3. @Cathy Roberts unfortunately many have stood up and lost their careers and reputations due to the BULLY in the WH. So many people have tried to bring justice for trumps crimes, but Bill Barr, a corrupt judicial system, the weak little sychophants called the GOP, lots of money, and his base – HAVE MADE TRUMP ABOVE THE LAW.

  2. What I can’t understand is how a SINGLE person in the military, or retiree, Christian, veteran or person of ANY color could POSSIBLY still support Trump. For any reason.

    It’s baffling.

    1. @juan vicks Democrats need to analyze and understand the reasons why people are voting for Trump, especially those voters who used to support Obama for the past 8 years.

  3. TUCK RUMP My wife who is Thai just told me and showed me that the “World Health Organization” just asked Thailand how to achieve what they have with the coronavirus issues. I would like to applaud them. America has lost 592 people per million. Thailand has lost .8 per million. or America has lost 196,089 as of now and Thailand has lost 58. Who is taking care of who? America has 4 percent of the world’s population and 22 percent of the world’s confirmed Covid-19 deaths.IF YOU ARE WONDERING, See how we are doing compared to the rest of the world, it’s sickening if you are from the U.S.The rest of the world is serious!

    1. C W, you’re either a bot or one of those imbeciles that drank the kool aide! Earl Van Fleet -excellent comment! The DumbFuckOTUS threw everyone under the bus, to avoid panic in his precious stock market! It’s genocide, I want to see him tried!

    2. I’ve been married to a Thai woman for over 30 years and I find those stats hard to believe. Thailand has some pretty high density poor populations. More power to them if they did truly achieve that.

  4. The sad true reality , we need to get rid of the visible virus to get rid of the invisible …… stay safe and healthy ppl .

    1. France and Spain DO NOT actually have it under control….tons of new cases with no end in sight and absolutely no flattening of the curve. UK continues to have outbreaks but nothing like it was earlier.

    2. @Karen Byrd They did flatten the curve
      France today has 6,000 new cases a day, spain about 10,000, but this came after flattening the curve.
      But you are cherry picking there are dozens of other countries who have it under control

      Germany, new ZEALAND, Australia, Taiwan, s KOREA, Canada, etc etc

      Germanies pop 85 mill
      Spain. 47 mil
      France 65 mil

      Florida 21.5 mil. Had over 15,000 people infected with covid 19 per day

    3. @Karen Byrd they did have it under control until they had completely reopened–and are now mitigating and have nothing close to the rate of contagion we are living with here in the states. Trump lied. People died. We are still dying at an awful and unnecessary rate.

  5. I dont know if AMERICANS CARE AT THIS POINT THAT THEY WERE LIED TOO BY THAT CLOWN THAT THEY ELECTED. SO SAD AND UNBELIEVABLE and mean while the whole world is LAUGHING AT AMERICA….

    1. @ben moyers Yes but the laughter is still there, because what is happening is just so stupid, and in so many ways was predictable. Now your country is tearing itself to international impotence.

    2. Franco, look up Electoral College and learn that American presidents are not elected by popular vote. Trump didn’t win the popular vote in 2016. Rather than laugh you might think about the other reveal in that interview. Pretty scary stuff.

    3. @Karen Byrd ooo I know its sick, still doesn’t change who AMERICANS Elected for PRESIDENT and how the THE WHOLE WORLD looks at AMERICA…………

  6. Well the virus didn’t disappear like Trump said it would, but 200 thousand Americans did. They’re gone.

    Trump: “Okay you got me. I did downplay the virus. But I only downplayed it because I didn’t want to incite panic. I did it because I wanted to incite death, on a massive scale. And as you can see, it worked.”

    Trump’s administration has been lying and withholding vital information from Congress and from the American people. Everything from the seriousness of a viral pandemic, to election interference from hostile nations. It’s almost as if we have a traitor in the Oval Office. Hmmm.😞

    1. Your last post I laughed so hard I fell out of my chair…..now I am 😞 thanks David….but as always brilliant. 😎👍✊

  7. Trump is like a curse on America. He has been the bane of America’s existence for the last for years. Not only must he be removed from office, but every republican that STILL defends him must go as well.

    1. @rrmndtqrg8 q LOL, you don’t get it. When you sit behind bunker boy, you have to wear a mask right?Can’t put 2&2together.He cares NOthing about you period

    2. @8645 InNov I’m cool sitting in the bunker with the BEST POTUS EVER NO TO SOCIALISM SOCIALISM SUCKS 4 MORE YEARS WOOOOOOOO LATINOS FOR TRUMP KAG 202O RESISTANCE IS FUTILE LATINOS FOR TRUMP KAG 202O IF YOU AIN’T WITH TRUMP 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

    3. @Lex K as were crabs on you 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

  8. *I just saw Bidens LIVE interview !! Biden is Spot on, NO Script, NO Teleprompter! You MUST See this interview… He SOUNDS LIKE A REAL PRESIDENT!! NO Mental Decline I can see, or hear… BIDEN/HARRIS 2020!!*

  9. I didnt realize how many bigots are around me. Dump-stir cheats———-and the redumplicans endorse that. His supporters think that cheating is ok.

  10. His supporters, for the most part, are unreachable! They believe whatever he says, unless what he says contradicts what he said earlier…then they just scream fake news and blame Obama 🙄

  11. Just getting people to WEAR A MASK!!! Must have the scientific community scratching their heads!!! I’ve been shocked also!!! Masks protect others!!! Alot of selfish self centered people!!!😲😨😷

  12. George Washington to his father: ‘ I’ll never tell a lie ‘

    Trump to the nation and his followers: ‘ I’ll never tell the truth ‘
