Ill. Gov. 'Extremely Disappointed' With Government Response | Morning Joe | MSNBC

112 comments

  1. It is so plainly obvious that the Trump Administration is making the CDC hold up the testing to keep the stats down. This is more than a disgrace. This is a horrible act by a horrible man in a horrible Administration. History will show just how Despicable this orangutan we have for a president is.

    1. This is all of us letting Trump continue to shout,”let them eat cake!”,instead of outing him from the WH!

    2. @Bill Cook yes most people will be ok. But the elderly and sick people not so much. Haven’t heard of any children dying yet thank God

    3. @88Gibson LesPaul WTF? It happened here with Ebola! The CDC was proven wrong about Ebola transmission, by the Canadian Health Service! Either the CDC was lying, or really that ignorant.

  2. Trump withheld the approved WHO tests to allow for the CDC to provide a test that doesn’t exist. All to bolster his investments. This SOB needs to go. He’s dangerous.

    1. @Angela Siegfried If you scroll up a bit, you’ll see that I apologized. I didn’t exactly imply that it did not exist. Just that I tire of people posting unsubstantiated rumors. I did a search. And I did click on your link. It would not open for me. At any rate. Silly me. I should have known that delaying testing to make his numbers look good is EXACTLY in character for Trump. Politics before lives.

    2. @Angela Siegfried Foreign Policy, the link you gave me, still will not open unless I subscribe. And for $15 a month!

  3. A few thousand…. 😷…. Nah, buddy… Stock is more important!😔

    Holding off resources.. thats sounds genocidal from our Republican ran Government

    1. C. H. Yes it’s time to ask another country to deliver us test kits. Since American government wants us all to die

    2. @Lily Poppy i cant believe the response from our government.

      Cant believe they turned down a unsactioned test, created at GROUND Zero😷.. Seattle.. by random scientist?

      They’re acting like China didnt happen… greedy Republicans, care about a dollar, but not human life

    1. @TRUMPANZEE HUNTER lmao i know, you crybabies like to make Trump comments but hate the comparison lmao. Sore Losers!! lololol. Trump 2020 👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍

    2. Tim Dog… the Electoral College.
      America’s slavery period tool to corrupt the 1 person/1 vote democratic tenet.
      Effectively, “my vote is worth more than yours, because I live here and you live there”.
      Mind you, others countries do use an Electoral College system…Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Estonia, Myanmar… so, you’re in “good” company.

    3. 💥💥 ****Oooh, My Goodnessss, It is past time for Hillary Clinton to go to jail!! The Corrupt Democrats and Republicans are doomed under Trump’s presidency!! The Democrat and Republican Swamp-Rats, Swamp CockRoaches are jumping ship!! No more crooked government paid to play!! It is time to go back to the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights!! ****President Donald Trump the Great White Hope of America!!**** 💥
      How many corrupt lying Democrats does it take to impeach a Republican president?!! 😁😂🤣
      ****American Born Black Men For President Donald Trump!!****

    1. @Philip Clarke💥💥 ****MEDICAL DEEP STATE EXPOSED: LITTLE KNOWN SECRET AGENCY UNDERMINING TRUMP’S RESPONSE TO CORONAVIRUS*** 💥

    2. Yes I love a circus and I will be voting for the clown because the other two choices are the enemy to us.Socialist,Marxist who has fooled all of you but that’s ok because all his so called supporters didn’t get out their parents basement to go vote so who are the clowns now.

    1. @Peter Quibell you calling our present orange hair all the time definitely makes you sound stupid. think about it

    2. @Marco Antônio Rodrigues Faria
      Agora, você fez isso em uma varanda em Portugal, Brasil, Cabo Verde, Guiné-Bissau, Moçambique, Angola e São Tomé e Príncipe

    3. @Gary Mellow I’m guessing you’re a big military hero that volunteered at age 18 and have fought every war . You are such a great American hero. I’d love to hear your life’s long military history

    4. @trumputin bonespurs God created coronavirus to get rid of people like you the non-believers in Donald Trump

    1. @Karen Schumer Dem.,who name drops but isn’t,Obama,endorsed?! Who lies and says the other guy isn’t a Dem.,when he is,only a Dem.,Soc.NOT,freebie socialism.Just,control,of industry,corps.,etc.,from the elites to the people.

    2. Nobody !! Cdc was actually given more money ,was never cut . Research will stop you from looking so stupid .

    1. @Syl Grant I’m old too Syl & u & I both know that all it takes is just thinking about it makes need to go pee, of course except when we see our Dr 🙂

  4. WE KNEW ABOUT THIS IN DECEMBER IT IS NOW MARCH AND WE STILL DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH KITS HOW CAN ANYONE WITH MORE THEN ONE BRAINCELL TRUST CADET BONESPURS

    1. Robert Alan I’m more than skeptical at what you said. How long did you wait for the appointment? How long for the results? According to the news they are being sent away to the CDC? Also can’t you carry your own wipes. The wipes packaging would be infected if everyone touched it. The virus is airborne too so your logic is off. People aren’t blaming Trump for the virus but for the poor information and lack of widespread testing. The quality of your private insurance aside, and your ability to take time off for appointments, you don’t seem to be bothered the US has refused WHO approved tests and the FDA has delayed approval for the use of testing machines? Trump sacked the pandemic team and defunded emergency response services, but your angry about a small business?

    2. Yes and Dems were castigating Trump as ‘racist’ for closing down entry from China. Lose the TDS and get a grip my friend.

    1. @David Goldman base slave thy words are blunt, and so art thou. Shall I be flouted by dunghill grooms. Out dunghill, throw this slave upon the dunghill.

  5. Why is this Administration that has ran this deficit up, gets plenty of money from Congress, can’t respond more effectively to an emergency? Where is the money gone and going?

    1. @David Atkinson o mg. The increased profit at his dc hotel and other resorts.. Lol

    1. NO HE WANTED YOU TO REMAIN CLUELESS, AND EVERYONE AS WELL, THE ESTABLISHED RESPONSE TEAM DISPERSED, BY THE TIME RESTRUCTURE IS RE ESTABLISHED, YES A BIG PANDEMIC SITUATION TO DEAL WITH IS IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE FOR AMERICA.

    2. YES ALSO IT WAS THE TRUMP DICTATORSHIP THAT CHANGED THE ESTABLISHED SYSTEM THE PUBLIC HAD RELIED ON, WITH AS YOU CAN SEE NO PLANS OF HIS OWN, ALSO DISREGARDING THE RESPONSIBILITY TO AID THE ALREADY SICK, REFUSE ENTRY TO THEIR HOME COUNTRY FOR CARE, LEFT ON A SHIP TO PONDER THE SITUATION.. HOW WONDERFUL FOR THOSE AMERICANS, AND ALSO WHOM ARE NOT AMERICANS ALSO COLLECTIVELY SICK ON BOARD.

    3. That is what trump thinks of people who are probably scared and susceptible to the disease. He has always thought of human beings as statistics and how it affects him. He is a monster.

  6. America is quickly becoming a country with little COMPASSION for its own people. Every issue is a dog fight.

    1. @carolyn boyd testa nele .o que ele impõe .ele não e médico . não e analista e nem cientista .mete nele primeiro este teste .

    2. @carolyn boyd Este lixo ele poluiu . várias mente .o que eu falei a muito tempo .para não frequentar os comícios dele em campanha. Ele deu o GOP . Nas Estórias e eu Luto pelo o que e meu de Direito.ele carrega um Processo desde 2016 . você acha que eu tou de bobeira . não vê que ele vem me perseguindo por causa disto . porque a concorrência dele pesa .e sabe bem o que fez .só tem aí um povo que acordaram .na real outros tão dormindo.acorda para realidade .

  7. 1000 cases because we havent tested anyone. Once we start to test, this is going to blow up. Trump doesnt want to test.

    1. @Ernest B over a millon test were issued to the states, these idiots refused to act for 2 months now blame Trump . You are stupid

    2. @michael j. it rumored you are dumb. Japan said corona came from US, your terrible flu months since last october apparently caused by corona than influenza

    1. @Fred Neck for one thats why need more tests. People mote likely to stay hone if test positive. Second need to make sure people don’t lose income for staying home for 2 weeks plus or some will go regardless of positive test .

    2. @Fred Neck 20% of those infected exhibit no symptoms and is a big reason why people need to be tested.

    3. @Angela SiegfriedI understand, but people aren’t going to check themselves everyday. Even if they do the only way to stop it is by limiting your interaction with people till this is over. Testing isn’t going to solve it. People just need to come to the conclusion they need to make adjustments over the next month or so.

    4. @ Dana Sue Salter, where are all the she-males and she-hes at?!!
      💥🔨🚅”Oooh, My Goodnesssss,” People Get Ready, The Trump train is coming with ( Obama’s hammer) to clear the way and the Barr Bill must be paid!! The (Gizmo boat) will be leaving shortly after the train arrives!! I love it when a plan comes together!! There will be people dancing in the streets…!! American Born Black Men For President Trump!! (Can’t you hear all the Cackling, Clucking Hens and the Roosters Crowing at MSNBC ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, and CNN?!!)****WWG1WGA!! ****

  8. US had 2 months to prep. We chose no test no tell, and economics, to save a few bucks and make a couple of more dollars. No matter donkey or elephants, Shameful!!

    1. @skirmisher front, trump was way behind the curve when it came to preparing for this disaster (He knew about it in DECEMBER)! He did not want people in the USA to know that the virus was at our shore then inside our nation! trump actually denied that it was happening in Washington State & insulted the Governor of Washington St. when he was doing the right thing, that trump wouldn’t listen to! trump is a bozo, ignorant & selfish. This stock market crash is due to the fact trump didn’t make sure the CDC had the kits to send out & test properly! trump was in denial, he wanted to have a 1 term stellar presidency……that won’t be happening anymore due to the orange ignoramus, unless of course, Putin rescues him again!!! The popular vote should have been followed in 2016, Hillary would have been on this faster than you can say Covid-19. Hillary has always been up on healthcare, which is something trump has always been clueless about! It doesn’t help that trump lies about everything! Come on into the USA, you won’t get tested here! Also, hang on to your Social Security that trump is now lying about! He has already said if elected again he will cut it. That is the money that we & our employers put in!!! trump is aware that he won’t be re-elected after this debacle so he has to get rid of SS now.

    2. @Denise Hall ele vai ver o fuzil e os Generais e Soldados e Capitão Marjory Sargento .toda a delegação a galera .toda .

  9. “I’ve been treated very, very unfairly by the coronavirus. In fact, no president in history has been treated so unfairly by a virus”

    – Trump

    1. @ch1aka2 You do realise trumpski has the onset of dementia, so soon his deranged rants will be nothing except Obama and Clinton and how he is the worlds’ genius at everything.

    2. @corryjookitP,S, SHAME ON YOU BOLTON, SO WELL DECORATED BY THE MEN OF THE HIGH SEA, SHAME , I WONDER HOW HE WROTE THAT IN HIS NEW BOOK THAT HE OR THE WHITE HOUSE MUST APPROVE. PRIOR TO PUBLIC RELEASE, MAYBE THE PUBLIC SHOULD JUST LET IT SLIDE OR FORGET THE TREASON TO AMERICA. SO AGAIN SHAME

    3. @corryjookit P.S.S. BOLTON ALSO INVOLVED WITH MISDIRECTING THE SO CALLED PERFECT CALL (ALTERED TRANSCRIPT) BY TRUMP ADD ON, ” WHISTLEBLOWER” INFORMATION AND BREAKING THE LAW, THAT DUE DATE WAS NOW SURPASSED. SO BOLTON”S ACTION RESULTED SPEAKER PELOSI TO ACT AS THE SYSTEM CONSTITUTED TO DO WAS TO START IMPEACHMENT. AND THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST INCIDENT BUT THE SECOND, THE FIRST ONE WAS TREASON REMEMBER?

  10. Donald has botched the test kits just so he can keep the phucking numbers down this is why you don’t elect a reality TV star to be president

    1. @Margie McK W.H.O. had test kits when we was at the beging of this Donald your savior denied those test kits because he didn’t want ther number of coronavirus patients in America…do your research

    2. Michael Anderson WHO doesn’t supply the USA, it’s the CDC. They tried to do a 3 for 1 kit and it failed. An Ebola/SARS /COVID-19 test….that’s what put us in the rears. They had millions of those test ready 2weeks ahead but they didn’t work. No one talks about that major hiccup 😡

    3. @Margie McK it’s still up to the president to fulfill his duty to protect this country if the CDC didnt have the right tests then the federal government should have allowed other laboratory’s to make the own but couldn’t because of bureaucratic procedures

    4. @Margie McK I did some research the USA CHOSE not to go with W.H.O. on the test kits…like I said it’s all about the numbers for Donald like its magic.. if we don’t test… the numbers won’t go up

    1. @Herb Nichols I know I like bernie but if biden gets the nomination I will not ever vote for criminal trump.

    2. @Drew Vanheistel what r you talking about? there’s filthy camps in US all century long run by CIA already

    3. ❤ Donald J Trump 2020 ❤
      ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ keeping America great Trump’s 12 more years

  11. truMcP cut spending at CDC since 2017 to pay for the wall…. so how is it working for him???
