  1. Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion. You can support whoever you want. But if you see this and still can Defend Trump you’re just crazy.

    1. lchaosgrimml The lead epidemiologist of our country said his travel bans did absolutely nothing. 40,000 people still came in our country. He only did them because other countries were already doing them. They weren’t early at all. Biden is by no means the best person but he’s at least woken up to our current reality. Trump and his clowns are still asleep and waiting for a miracle.

    2. @lchaosgrimml Untrue. On March 18 Biden said : “Stop the xenophobic fear-mongering. Be honest. Take responsibility. Do your job.” He didn’t say the travel ban was xenophobic, he simply said Trump is simply xenophobic in all sorts of actions and words. Better off with Biden? I would rather vote for Donald Duck than Donald T.

    1. @Robert Clawson Are you F_ _king kidding?
      Trump had more untruths in his 70 minute acceptance speech than Obama had in 8 years as president; – – – let that sink in! Trump was telling lies at a clip of more than one lie every 3.5 minutes, and I had been telling friends since his inauguration speech that Trump couldn’t go 5 minutes without telling a lie; – – – I obviously had underestimated his lying rate.

    2. @Leonardo Medina That sounded more like “What aboutism”, the escape of the ones without any arguments, trying to jingle the keys and distract you with meaningless comparisons. Just so they don’t have to admit that THEY supported a monster.

    3. To spin and omit the facts just leaves CNN viewers getting their asses handed to them by Progressives and Republicans.

  2. I don’t understand how these people keep insulting the intelligence of their audience and the audience just takes it. It’s embarrassing

    1. @Miss Spirituality I paid into US social security and rail road by working 40 years cross border so I have a social security number also and half the guys I work with are dual citizens , so we are really integrated, the company is a multinational railway and the CEO was an american that was just like trump. I have two houses in Florida that I rent out , I bought in 2009 after the crash. The standard of living in Canada is higher than the US I think but we pay over half our wages to the governmnet and then I also paid to uncle sam . I understand that the employment insurance was Many of my family members are US citizens and I pay US taxes so who is elected makes a difference in USA and Canada and Italy as well. I just got a ballet to vote in the constitutional change in Italy. I know everything here was shut down for about 2 months and we were down to almost 0 cases in June then some German groups went to a funeral in Alberta and picked it up and came back to Winnipeg . Ontario and Quebec have it bad but we closed the border. We also closed the US border except for flights. My sister came back from Arizona and the Canadian Immigration told them they had to immediately quarantine , directly to their house , not even stop to got to the toilet. Or a 1 million dollar fine and jail time. So it was pretty bad. My daughters work minimum wage jobs but they could have collected $2000 per month or $1200 for students. I told them to work , it looks better on the resume:.

    2. @Jeff Guarino you guys were down to zero cases in June? we are steadily going up nin cases almost in all states. its a nightmare over here. i got friends losing their homes that they have been buying for years and now they may be homeless. some people dont qualify for unemployment. employers are threatening minimum wage workers who are endangering their lives. some sick people arent reporting they are sick to the restaurants or stores because they are afraid of losing the low paying job. if they cant work they cant feed their families. and some managers dont tell employees when a person calls in to say they have covid. and it just spreads. i would have never thought america would be like this but then again i never thought america would elect a reality show host 6 time bankrupt racist for president. trump is a con man. and his supporters are considered a cult.

    3. @Mejoche In case you were not aware, CNN is in many countries , not just the USA. You should really get a passport and travel a bit.

      from wikipedia “Globally, CNN programming airs through CNN International, which can be seen by viewers in over 212 countries and territories The US domestic version, sometimes referred to as CNN (US) is also available in Canada, some islands of the Caribbean.”

    1. You do know that America is testing more than any other country? Therefore more cases are recorded. Also, states are refusing to adhere to Trump’s recommendations. On top of this, the USA has a population of 329 million people.

    2. @Will You need more testing if you have more infected… lol.
      Don’t get me wrong, I see where you are TRYING to go with this. That there are just as many cases elsewhere and we just happen to be testing more. The problem with that “logic” is that we have more deaths per population right now. We also have more hospitalizations. If the latter two weren’t true THEN I could maybe get on board with your idea. The only way you can get there, however, is to misrepresent the death totals. It is why you keep hearing that 10%, etc, going around… it is a blatantly completely misleading number. Yet, it is pushed heavily by the right to try to fool people. Sadly it works on some folks. And others just claim they believe it since they can’t face the reality of what it would mean if they acknowledged the true numbers.

    3. adibese you are quick to try and link unrelated items. And it seems you have too much time on your hands to respond. Unless Putin pays well for overtime I wonder what you are trying to accomplish

    1. Diane Bannister I honestly don’t see how people don’t see through this mans bs or do they just not want to see it? I have learned not to even argue with a trump supporter they can’t see ANYTHING past what Trump says so don’t waste your breath smh 🤦🏽‍♂️

    2. La Sneaker I literally watched with my own eyes and heard with my own ears! The man screamed “this is the new hoax!” Google it for god sakes! 🙄 damn y’all trumptards are really delusional 🤦🏽‍♂️

    3. @Davon Lloyd thanks for the encouragement to not even bother to argue with a Trump supporter. They have absorbed their master’s brainwashing. Lester Holt of NBC is excellent. He just reports the news as it is and does not politicize. Trump has done so much destruction–getting his followers to believe his lies that all the news channels are fake news, except his favorite propagandists on FOX. He is destructive period. God help us vote him out. RESTORE AND SAVE OUR COUNTRY.

  3. Given that Trump has known how deadly the virus is and that it is airborne, how did his calling it a “Democratic hoax” and vacillating on masks help to minimize public panic and increase public safety?

    1. @Kimberly Charters And the “Proud Boys” support Trump, as well. We can play this BS game all day!
      They are is a far-right neo-fascists who promote VIOLENCE, as well.

      *OR*
      FBI considers Proud Boys extremists with white-nationalist ties, law enforcement officials say

    2. @andrew chambers does it really matter? Tramp willingly decided not to provide the same information.
      If woodward did provide it..tramp and his goons would have attacked him same way they have with Fauci or anyone else who spoke facts

    1. You’re all totally right, Trump should’ve created a mass panic Asteria threw out America. And also he should have invited all of China to America lifted travel bans similar to Nancy inviting all of America to China town n.y in feb. OR BIDEN campaigning with massive crowds well into March April with no mask. But hey we all got the memory of a goldfish it’s not like we all knew it was a deadly virus since JANUARY… wish I was a dem. They always seem to have the right answers 😂

    2. @kevin M. He didn’t have to ‘create a mass panic hysteria” Stop being such a dram queen. He should have DONE his fucking job. You’re being ridiculous.

    1. @NPC exe:14465 you got ended already. You failed to comprehend a very basic statement and you payed the price for it in your argument. Stop crawling back for more. I feel that if anything, the one that clearly lost an argument because of his own shortcomings, but is still feeling an urge to respond for any shallow hope at redemption is the insecure one.

    2. @Sedna02 psycho analyzing a person from the internet doesnt score you any social points. Youre a sad, little man, who prides himself on being a wikipedia academic. To quote your president, “SAD”!.

  4. “if he thought they were so bad or dangerous why didn’t immediately report them in an effort to save lives“. (Woodward isn’t President, you are.) (God forgive us.) You changing your freaking attitude would’ve saved lives & still would. Saving lives would actually win your reelection so you can finish off democracy. With resignation you could get out of this & sort of hold your head up.

    1. @seaweedWorkers Bob Woodward put booksales over lives he waited all these months to release the tape while people were dying. If he had it release back then he might have saved a lot of lives.

    2. @Plo Koon Woodward is not the President, he’s a journalist, period! Sensible people listened to the experts. Sensible people knew Trump was lying. The only question that remains today is if we’re comfortable with having a murdering-liar as president for another 4 years!?

  5. asking “why didn’t Woodward speak up with warnings….” is naive at best. Every day, sage citizens are offering advice to Trump, and just as often, Trump mocks those advisors.

  6. “Hey, if Woodward knew I was killing people why didn’t he say anything?” — Typhoid Trump
    Press — “So you admit you were killing people.”
