    1. @Tara Reade you were going to vote for Trump before reading….if you were really gonna vote…if you even can.

    2. @Rune – Thorne No I was going to vote for Biden but after reading that I am voting for Trump, and yes I can vote!

    3. @Tara Reade just because you say your dummy president didn’t say it, doesn’t erase the tweets and the dozens of times he’s said it on camera.

    4. @newyearseve91 How could Trump say that we currently have 15 cases of the CORONAVIRUS and make a travel ban to prevent the CORONAVIRUS in that same speech if he thought the coronavirus was a hoax? No what you are doing is ending what Trump said where you wanted it to end, by your logic I can say that you called the coronavirus a hoax! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃

    1. **it’s time to fire Donald Trump!!!! He’s been an abject failure,,, and he’s trying to stir racism and fear into a toxic stew!!!! Donald Trump””””YOU’RE FIRED”””**

  1. Time to wake up Americans it’s not about freedom or libertys it about protecting the ones you love.from the virus. Trump and his colleagues fed us to the dogs. There nothing American about that

  2. Is there anyone out there who actually believes that Trump stopped the pandemic, like his science office claims? I know MAGA is a cult. But jeesh🤦🏽‍♀️

    1. @Tara Reade , it perhaps saved lives, but how many people died because Trump said covid was no worse than the flu, that was over 2 months after he learned that covid was more than 5 times as deadly as the flu? How many people died because Trump mocked people wearing masks and social distancing when he knew at least 2 months before that it was airborne transmission? How many people have died because of ego he had to hold Super Spreader Events?

    2. @Ricky Spanish It’s the same Trumped up world where you can stop a hurricane with an atom bomb, or steer one with a sharpie, or fallen trees explode, or science doesn’t know, or Covid was going to disappear at Easter, or we’re rounding the turn, or you pronounce Yosemite as Yo-semite , or viruses can tell the difference between a Chinese passport and a US passport, or that Trump will be to busy being president to play as much golf as Obama did.

    3. @Jack Clarke People are usually not as dumb as you, adults are responsible for their own actions! How many people died because Joe Biden said preventing the coronavirus is xenophobic? How many people died because Rotting Corpse Pelosi told people to gather in China town? Trump acted earlier than what Dementia Joe and Rotting Corpse Pelosi wanted, they called Trump racist for trying to stop the coronavirus!

  3. Almost every president has occasionally engaged in hyperbole, lying, corner-cutting, or press-bashing, though none have done so daily, if not hourly, until now. One lie does not undermine democracy, but 25,000+ lies can. One governmental reversal in court is not tyranny, but scores of such defeats reveal an administration at odds with the constitutional injunction to “faithfully execute  the laws.”

    If we added up the anti-democracy maneuvers of the prior 10 presidents over the past 60 years, they wouldn’t equal Trump alone in under four years—indeed, if you compare the eight close associates of Trump convicted or indicted in his almost-one term of office, that would again exceed those of all presidents combined (excepting Watergate felons) from Kennedy to Obama..

    Trump has done considerable damage to America’s democratic institutions, and  brought the nation to the brink of civil catastrophe, and the Republican Party has protected him the entire way. Trump has left America grievously wounded, and now he’s asking for another chance to finish her off..

    No one should ever get a second chance to destroy our Constitution, and our 244 year old democratic republic.

    1. But the party in power wants to stay in power so damb the rules and dam the torpedoes nothing matters anymore.

    2. Well said, I am not American, but I think why I get so frustrated looking on, is that Trump & his dministration, through the actions you have listed threatens the very idea of Democracy, what is right or wrong, even as a base guiding light. The more Trump gets away with, the more the light and dark of right and wrong (values) shifts to a permanent grey for the world. It is very sad to watch. You can disagree with American policy, however Americas democracy has always been a guiding light for the world.

    3. I said on twitter four years ago. That if the Republicans got in power again in our country they will never give it up never. And you see it happening right before our eyes.

    4. @Howard Peeples I have never seen anything like this, a president & party stoking divide at every turn, straight out lying to the American people, holding mass rallies in the face of all medical advise, laying the ground work to rig the election through the courts, and the list go’s on….

  4. The true character of an individual will always be revealed when they are faced with a crisis or adversity. And the eternal question will always be: at the moment of truth, when it truly mattered, what did they do? How did they respond?

    In the midst of a national health crisis, when America needed a leader the most, Trump has categorically failed. He failed at the moment of truth. It has been a catastrophic failure, with lethal consequences. His lies, indifference, and downplaying of the coronavirus pandemic, will be remembered as the greatest dereliction of duty in presidential history. It is why this virus will be remembered by historians as The TrumpVirus, and rightfully so, because it didn’t have to be this way. The needless loss of more than 220 thousand American lives is now Trump’s legacy.

    We owe it to the more than 220 thousand American souls that are no longer with us, to remove Trump from office.

    1. **I voted in part,,, for my neighbor,,, who died of covid-19!!! She was a wonderful woman,,, enter dog and cat would follow her down the street!!!! I hope you don’t let them scare you,, and you vote too!!**

  5. I have to say it…..this cluster f*** is not just Trump’s America…..but it’s the net result of Reagan’s America. IMHO

    1. @Patricia Manzi Corporations fuel the economy by jobs. If you werent so dumb and lazy you could start a corporation begining on your own and with very hard work at something make it very very successful. The sky is the limit !

    2. @Patricia Manzi Amazing. What Marx wrote almost two centuries back still provides predictive validity in America today. Kinda embarrassing, actually.

  6. Don the con fooled America re: 👾 It is not a Dem. Hoax, it did not just go away, by Easter, by summer, no he lied about it denied it and ignored it. Don, you’re fired. Vote Dem. 💙🌊

  7. Send them to prison. No care, no stimulus for states and families. But America pay for Bill’s from mar-a-largpa)

  8. Wow this a deep philosophical conversation.. selfishness and greed versus understanding how we’re all connected and affected by each other and therefore need to take care of each other

    1. @ra5928 Actually Hunter Bidens former business partner just proved that Joe and Hunter are working for China, Joe will be impeached before his first year if he is elected! Don’t vote for Dementia Joe Jinping! KAG

    2. @ra5928 You have way too much time on your hands! Of course YouTube deletes Trump supporters comments! They love Dementia Joe Jinping!

    3. @Tara Reade – So, the hater in chief’s minions spreading hate speech doesn’t have anything to do with them getting deleted?

    4. @Tara Reade – Wow, prove that estimation to me. Don’t give me any hater links please. I want a link from a group like John’s Hopkins. OK? I can wait for a year while you look for one. Qanon doesn’t qualify either.

    5. @Tara Reade – Meanwhile, you can check this out. The week that the Sturgis bike rally took place in South Dakota, S.D. had a respectable 5.4% positive COVID test rate. 4 weeks after Sturgis, they were the worst in the country with 26%. Now, they are at 43.4%. This latest wave of new cases started there and then spread out to neighboring states and now the rest of the USA. All this happened because stupid tRump followers won’t wear masks. N.Y., meanwhile, has a positive test rate of 1.4%.

  9. The Emperor has no clothes, Anyone that supports tRUMP has blood on their hands… Vote like your life depends on it, Because it does…

  10. Here’s what the rest of the world doesn’t understand about how wearing a mask goes against your liberty and freedom. If you sit in a bar all day drinking and start driving your car, if you hit a telephone pole and die well, you asked for it. If you hit an innocent family coming home from grandma’s house and someone or all in that vehicle die, your charged with negligent murder. You have the liberty and freedom to drink yourself silly but it is against the law to put that vehicle in drive and take it out on a public road. You lose your license, cars impounded your charged and face fines based on the POTENTIAL of harming or killing innocent people even if by luck you managed to weave yourself up your driveway and get home with no more damage than a bad hangover. Doesn’t the rest of the community have the liberty and freedom to go to a grocerystore without the fear of a presystematic or asystematic carrier breathing in their face so they can take it home to a vulnerable member. What’s the difference. Constitutional cherry picking. Freedom of speech as long as it’s your speech. Freedom of religion as long as it’s your religion. Freedom of choice as long as it’s your choice.

  11. Requiring the wearing of a mask in public buildings is the EXACT same requirement as wearing a SHIRT. NO SHOES, NO SHIRT, NO MASK NO SERVICE. They are ALL based upon PUBLIC HEALTH.

    1. These same morons would have contracted TB when it was rampant. They have no idea how any disease is curtailed. No idea. Spoiled and uneducated foools.
