Fmr. Acting CDC Director: ‘We Are In A Worse Place Than We Were Early On’ | MTP Daily | MSNBC
t’rump: We’re #1 in testing!
Everyone: You’re also #1 in cases and deaths.
t’rump: Nice! **tweets about winning being #1**
Everyone: Anyone want to trade leaders?🤦🤷
Bud Fudlacker – Do you really not understand how stupid that is? Really? Seriously? I mean…do you get your shoes on the correct feet in the morning? Have you ever been hit by a slow moving train? Do you eat paste?
Let’s all chip in and buy Trump an island, give it statehood, crown him king, fly everyone who wants to live there over for free, and build a big, beautiful, “powerful” wall around it.
Ro G I agree.
J Groovy brilliant idea can he take a few others with him.
@Bud Fudlacker You say..”testing finds more cases” that’s obvious. So.. what’s your point?
Get ready for serious lock-down. 😒
And also the blame game. Pretty safe to predict that Trump will start blaming the demonstrators who did not socially distance or wear masks. His decisions to antagonize reopening to save his beloved economy will have had nothing to do with it.
The oligarchs who fund the Republican Party won’t allow it. What’s the death of a few hundred thousand peasants to their stock portfolio?
@Jim McLoughlin Trump is standing in a pulpit in Arizona lying like the anti-Christ.
Trump : We’re #1 in deaths. USA USA USA #MAGA
And still I see a packed Arena in his latest rally..This will be a plague of almost Biblical Proportions in the USA..Funny to see all those Sheep going down with their beloved Leader though..
Looking on from Australia. This is heartbreaking. Negligence, denial, indifference, incompetence from your government. No plan, no clue, 100% spin. This is collective manslaughter by a government against its own people. Carnage. You need a leader and you’ve got a charlatan. People all over the world are distressed to see what is happening to your country.
@Gray Shus I am actually one of those People around the World..
@Gray Shus You are STILL under the impression the most Americans support Trump when we don’t and have never have. What’s your suggestion other than our presidential election which is still months away? Those of us with minds already know about the mess we are in. We don’t need you to tell us.
@Karen Byrd I understand the situation. I’m not uninformed about the level of support that Trump has among the American people. I’m trying to express solidarity, not blame, and maybe appeal to the swing voters who can make a difference. I’m not trying to preach to the choir.
trump: we need to cut back testing we’re doing too much
wh staff: he was only kidding
trump: I don’t kid
brain damaged supporters: its fake news, he never said said anything at all
Packed megachurch no masks in Arizona today. Wussolini is killing his own base😷
You say that like it’s a problem. Less Trump supporters means a harder time for Trump’s reelection.
@speks36 Tru! The only downside is MAGAts will infect normal people.
Cure for COVID 19 is remove trump from office.
Bone Spur Bunker Boy Draft Dodging Donnie having another spread the Coronavirus Rally in Arizona today.
Being in a worst place than earlier – the story of the Trump administration.
Technically covid19 cases has been heard since january, so it has live for 6 months or even earlier
We shall see 2 million by this fall, great job Trump
Trump tried to sweep it under the rug, and here we now are.
America let’s party like it’s Covid-1999
Maybe this is Trump’s plan. Make America so sick that we can’t vote.
I literally gasped out loud because I WOULDN’T PUT IT PAST HIM.
trump is killing more americans than the communists have ever done. He is in league with your “supposed” enemies, Russia, China and North korea. Who’s the enemy ?
The numbers are far worse due to the failure of testing in early March.
The “first wave” was just a surge before the Incoming TSUNAMI.
Can we turn it around?
Ill answer the question with a question. Cam we as a people be responsible enough to wear a mask, wash our hands, socially distance ourselves, disinfect surfaces we touch? If not then we are in the long haul.
The states following science are reducing infections. The states following bone Spurs are getting worse
Great leadership got us here. Presidential example set this in motion.
