      Omg I strongly suggest you get help to prepare for the freight train of reality barreling straight for you lol. He has even lost some of his base ffs 🙄 Mute Sick of stupid!

    2. @elc it is absolutely a freight train. Should Trump do this Rally Saturday, pumped up on VERY strong steroids, I hope and pray not too many of his followers become deathly ill. Ask Herman Cain how it went! Trumps actions are pathetic.

    3. @brian gardner Yes, you are correct… As most doctors would suggest… wait a week or two… his handlers are killing him and his followers. Should Trump do this Rally Saturday, pumped up on VERY strong steroids, I hope and pray not too many of his followers become deathly ill. Ask Herman Cain how it went! Trumps actions are pathetic.

    4. @Mark S It’s not his handlers… it’s HIM! He believes he knows it all & listens to nobody! I worry for most… but think of the lives that could be saved if he ensures the virus runs rampant through the entire gop party.

  1. Trump is in withdrawal from the cheering crowds worshipping at his feet. His ego needs a booster shot from a rally.

    1. yes, and everything is true; who should be jailed? and why? what law did he break? or do you just not like him?
      But honestly Hatred for a single person and those who support him is not healthy at all, not healthy for the soul, not healthy for the mind and certainly not healthy for our Great Nation … if anyone can site three nice or kind or benevolent thing that CNN NYT USAToday, MSDNC, ABC or even AP has said about the greatest greatest healthiest President since the fall of Eve and Adam, and we will vote for your fav candidate.

      many ppl are waking up; hashtag # walkaway

  2. Trump is going the way of his buddy, Alphonse Capone, why else would he insist on a non-disclosure agreement to see a doctor.

    1. @brian gardner
      Just like you Brian?
      Who has made a career of defending Trump 24/7 in the comments section.
      Hypocrite…

    2. @brian gardner
      Gramps I’m working and you are the maniac troll who supports a madman.
      I certainly don’t want to see or allow a madman remove entitlements from the elderly in my family to benefit Trump and the 1%.
      It’s no secret that Trump is there to cut and chop programs so Trump can turn America into a tax haven for the rich and powerful.
      The ignorant sheep like you support this ideology even at your expense.
      That’s insane.
      If Trump gets your vote and another term he will slowly disassociate from you followers and you will be collateral damage for him and the 1%.
      Somehow I doubt you are American, just another Russian troll.

  3. It is not a mystery, they either comply to what trump wants or they are ruined. This is also an ongoing theme that hasn’t had an action or consequence to stop him so he’s been given the power. The enablers have created a monster. The American citizens are paying for it.

    1. Trump is Satan’s Son. 211,000 Americans DEAD because TRUMP LIED!! VOTE HIM OUT!! VOTE TRUMP OUT November 3, 2020!!

    1. @Godfrey Daniel agreed…also when I have to stop at a few places close to each other, I just leave it on. You are not risking others by wearing a mask too much! In addition, its about being a role model, would much rather they error on the side of caution.

    2. Godfrey Daniel
      Agreed. Daniel, are you from the US or another country? I’d like to hear what other country’s citizens really think of Trump.

    3. You crazy not Trump!LGBT for Trump! We tired of the Democrat hate!! Joe received funding from KKK to support segregation. U people ok with that? Really?? Better check the facts. I did and no way I’m voting for bigot Joe!!!

  4. The man who accused Biden of being on drugs is actually himself now on drugs and it’s amazing he says!!!

    1. Does anyone think he released himself early so he could get back to his usual drug(s) at home? Some have speculated that he may be a regular user (addicted to?) of Adderall, to name just one drug that has been named.

    2. @John Yeager Very bad choice… What said Harris already?
      Joe Biden has a history of lifting people up and fighting!

      After +40 years, Trump is elected!

    1. It gets Worse…It just Released that hes Going to Do a LIVE Television Medical Exam tonight on Tucker Carlson ..

  5. By CDC guidelines he should be quarantined for at least 14 days, he hasn’t. Not following his own Administration’s Guidelines. Says it all for Don the Con.

    1. It’s dangerous to belittle someone because of their political opinion,believe me I know. Despite the polls I feel 2016 is about to happen again.

  6. I want a president who is not a super spreader of Covid 19.
    Vote for Joe Biden, I already did by mail.

    1. Biden lied on everything!

      He is the spreader!
      The man who said to a black man that he is not black because he voted Trump!
      The man who said during the debate : Send you vote as strong as your Fear!

      He is the dividor!

    2. @Sly Shadows I agree the “Tolerant” left has shown their true colors for 4 years and NOW wants to pretend to care about “Americans”

  7. He isn’t going to help a country he knows he isn’t going to be president of. He’s going to try to screw over the country if anything.

    1. @Telly Vin-a sorry for ya. Try going back and researching videos on Biden and Harris and see the lies they have been telling. While your at it look at other videos of Trump rallies where he is greatly supported. Read the ones who have awoken and #walkaway from the democratic party because they realize how mean and hateful the de.democrats are. Read the comments from trump supporters who became US citizens from other socialist counties or the blacks who are waking up or people around the world who are rooting for Trump to win. Maybe if you researched instead of only listening to lies and hoping for those “free” handouts Biden promises, you too will come to understand that nothing is free, voting democrat will cost you your rights, your freedoms, your liberty and your country, but then no worries….Trump2020 4 more years to drain the swamp and get rid of the DemonRats!!!

    2. you mean like all the great things he’s done in the last 4 yrs?
      In 2019, 2.1 million new jobs were created. o In 2019, 1.5 million jobs were added for women. This accounts for more than 50% of total job gains for the first time ever.

Opportunity Zones will spur $100 billion in private capital investment and impact nearly 35 million Americans.
      o The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act increased the Child Tax Credit by 100% keeping more money in the pockets of hardworking mothers.• President Trump is fulfilling his promise to build a border wall, with sizable portions already finished or under construction. o It’s expected that 450 miles will be finished by the end of 2020.

      Under President Trump, the U.S. Border Patrol has arrested hundreds of members of dangerous gangs.
      • The President has strongly enforced our nation’s immigration laws by cracking down on illegal immigration and taken aim at “sanctuary cities.”
      • President Trump has called on Congress to close dangerous loopholes such as “Catch and Release,” end chain migration, and end the visa lottery program which enables illegal immigration.

      o The Administration provided funding to support the National Human Trafficking Hotline.
      The Anti-Trafficking Coordination Team (ACTeam) initiative more than doubled convictions of human traffickers and increased the number of defendants charged in ACTeam districts

  8. If Trump wants sympathy from me, he can look in the dictionary between 💩 and syphilis, that’s where he’ll find my sympathy.

    1. @Alex Hamilton
      Well Trump is narcissistic sociopath, so that doesn’t surprise me. He feels the same way about everyone, especially his own followers.
      Trump: “Maybe this Covid thing is a good thing. I don’t have to shake hands with these disgusting people.” 😂😆

    2. @Alex Hamilton Doesn’t matter does it since millions of people think and feel the same as David J. dump will definitely notice them. Like the booing he copped at the RBG memorial. The walking skid mark is done.

    1. To Truth hurts what exactly have these DR’S said. They have mostly avoided saying anything let alone something truthful so once again how are they being truthful!

    2. @chameleon habitat lmao typical response from someone with no argument to the logic presented, stay sharp guy

    3. @Christena Walker What are you talking about? They’ve answered every reasonable question without divulging too much because of existing HIPPA laws, he’s fine you all just refuse to except it

    1. The Mr. Man
      and Democrat cultist are fake Biden supporters. They just want him to win do KaM A La can take over.

    2. @Alex Hamilton *_Democrats aren’t hardline supporters of Biden like you fanatic maga supporters are of trump._*

    1. JUST GOES TO SHOW HOW EASILY TRUMP CAN BUY OFF DOCTORS. HE BOUGHT BONE SPURS. HE BOUGHT “LIVE TO 200”. AND NOW A MIRACULOUS RECOVERY.

      CONLY IS NOT AN M.D. HE IS AN OSTEOPATH. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE. SURPRISED TRUMP DOESNT HAVE A PODIATRIST FOR WHITE HOUSE DOC.
      THE WORLD KNOWS WHAT HE REALLY NEEDS IS TO BE COMMITTED FOR PSYCHIATRIC CARE.

    2. @Mike Hefley Osteopaths are true doctors who chose to specialize in soft tissue and bone manipulation. Unlike chiropractors they can prescribe medications, diagnose your issues and refer you to specialists.Chiropractors are good but osteopaths are even better but harder to find.

    3. I don’t see people addressing this all that much but… we’re seeing all the earmarks of a fascist regime here, up to and including completely undermining the reliability of the scientific and medical community. Once you erode THAT trust… you really have nothing left save to turn to “dear leader” and what he proclaims the truth. We are living Orwell’s “1984”… and people just don’t seem to realize that it’s not coming… it’s HERE.

    1. Problem is, it’s not just him. This whole thing has been calculated to undermine any confidence in ANY scientific or medical professional, so that all people have to rely on is this administration. This isn’t going to end with Trump. This is the new normal for America, until we manage to make it right. And THAT, children, is going to take DECADES, if not more than a century. It’s easy to destroy; we’ve seen over the past several years just HOW easy. But rebuilding… now, THAT’s the problem….
