Jeffries: Trump Does Not Care About American People. He Cares About Himself. | The ReidOut | MSNBC

On the president’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, Congressman Hakeem Jeffries says, "Most significant of the 20k lies that Donald Trump has told over the last 3 and a half years is that he cares about the American people. He does not. He cares about himself. And in that context, his only real concern appears to be electoral survival." Aired on 7/27/2020.

  1. *“Our people” he means white people. His base in particular. Trump is and has always been a racist. He has 150k dead Americans on his hands.*

    1. @Edward Emmick let’s wait and see what happens in chicago. He might earn a few black votes. I know if I had kids and Trump kept them from getting shot I would probably vote for him.

    2. @Cynthia Gonzalez I’m independent and don’t vote dear. I just give opinions based off stuff I see with my eyes. I judge Trump based off his policies. I don’t always pay attention to everything he says. He talks to much. Kind of like democrats talk to much. There are thousands that don’t support the democrat party and they are not racist. You don’t have to be a democrat not to be racist.

    3. Nope. Lockdown and mask laws are at state level. Majority of the 150k from NY and California, blue states. Try again shiitbat lol

    1. 148,000 TESTED deaths means 1.48 million dead of Covid-19. Let the rate of death keep going up by using Super Spreader strategies like opening the schools, and there will be so much death so fast that bodies will be a huge and obvious problem. Traitor trump is way up Putin’s rectum!

    2. the more he plays golf tons of money goesto his pocket peoplepaying his business his hotelhis golf course his restaurantplus his commisions on companies building his walls.he just wants to make money as fake president.

    1. This is the most critical period in American history. You’re close to reaching the point of no return, like Germany in the 1930’s.

      You either stand up to Trump, or allow him to become a dictator like Putin in Russia. Just voting is not enough, get out in your neighbourhood and campaign.

    2. The Democrats are tearing up the constitution and you’re crying because Trump is preventing the communist rabble being led by Democrat mayors from burning down federal courthouses? How are you about blowing up the Washington monument? You’re the danger to America genius.

    3. *Biden Proposing Largest Tax Hike in History*
      July 9, 2020 https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/biden-proposing-largest-tax-hike-in-history/

      Since wrapping up the Democratic Party nomination in March, Biden has done the opposite of what you’d think and resisted any urge to tack back toward the center on economic matters. A CNBC reporter, Robert Frank, looked into Biden’s tax hikes and noted that they dwarf Hillary Clinton’s.

      *He put the total tax cost of Clinton’s proposals at $1.5 trillion; Biden’s, at $4 trillion.*

      (The details are here.) Biden’s “unity task force” of economic advisers and environmental activists was staffed not to appeal to the center but to placate supporters of Bernie Sanders by including two Sanders aides and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Biden is now talking about using the COVID-19 crisis as an opportunity to “rewrite the economy,” recalling Rahm Emanuel’s wish to “never let a crisis go to waste.”

  2. Daily Reminder: Trump called the Corona virus a Democrat hoax that would miraculously disappear.

    1. @Abolish democrats Abolish communism uh like the mob boss gets his rich pals out of jail while your daddy sits in a cell surrounded by coughing sneezing cellmates ?

    2. @Tamatik Canada I think not only his pants are to tight they split in the seat and now hes 🥶😭 the commie blues

    3. @Abolish democrats Abolish communism
      Ain’t that the truth. Lenin and Stalin couldn’t have asked for more dedicated “useful idiots”!

  3. THEY WILL COME FOR YOU!

    First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-
    Because I was not a Socialist.
    Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-
    Because I was not a Trade Unionist
    Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-
    Because I was not a Jew
    Then they came for me- and there was no one left to speak for me…
    – Martin Niemoller

  4. Not exactly a “model business,” Trump Model Management is closing amid increased scrutiny of its relationships with teenage models, immigration law, labor laws and human trafficking.
    Donald J. Trump owns 85% of Trump Model Management. He founded the agency in 1999. In April 2017 his financial partners were informed that the Trump modeling agency would be closing. This was purportedly to allow for a deeper focus on golf and Trump hotels — but Trump Watchdogs suspect that the closure relates to questions about Trump Model Management having violated a wide range of laws.

    New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is apparently launching a formal investigation into the Trump modeling agency. Former White House staffer Claude Taylor reported Sunday on Twitter that Schneiderman’s investigation involves the high-level Russian prosecutor Yuri Chaika, who is allied with Vladimir Putin and specializes in collecting and wielding kompromat (compromising material) about political adversaries.

    Some key takeaways from this article: Donald Trump appears hypocritical for complaining about illegal immigration. Also, teenagers who are lured to the US to become models — but are coached by agencies to arrive without legal permission to work here — are vulnerable to businessmen’s abusive fantasies.

    1. Did Jeffery Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell use Trump Model Management as a source of young girls?

  5. trump absolutely does not care about anyone but him and his family. at this point, he’s just trying to avoid real jail time.

    1. Wait till he’s out of the White House. The State of N.Y is going to put him in a doghouse. U think he’ll get a pardon.

    2. @Indi Pillai how about the undocumented they are all people to. By the way we haven’t seen nothing yet. Rough times ahead. Specifically to Donald and his Senators they are on a suicide mission. DONALD IS DRIVING

    3. @Hampar Turfanda
      GOP RATS are BAILING the TRUMPTANIC too
      This is a Putin installed criminal enterprise folks not an administration, end the madness 2k20

    1. Trump has revealed who he truly is and many former Trump Voters Chose to Believe him. And They have left his Camp. But the Trump Enablers See the Same Things; And They don’t care. They care that Trump Gives Them Permission To Be Who They Truly Are. And for America and for Trump’s Enablers that Codependent Relationship is not a Good Thing. As One Commenter stated: “NOW you Know Why Women Stay In Abusive Relationship.”

  6. According to a recent report, Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has been PLEADING for money from the RNC to help the struggling campaigns of some of his republican colleagues in the House — only to be ignored by Trump and Kushner.

    The report notes that McCarthy has asked the RNC which is flush with cash for a check for the National Republican Congressional Committee multiple times, only to be given a cold shoulder as the RNC focuses on keeping Trump and his crime family in office.

    The roadblock for McCarthy has repeatedly been Jared Kushner. But everyone knows that Jared is only acting on Trump’s orders.

    “McCarthy specifically has asked Kushner to make a financial commitment to the House GOP, but Kushner, who oversees such decisions and has a greater say than RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, has refused thus far, the officials say. While the Trump campaign and the RNC have brought in record amounts of money.

    Trump and his advisors regard the House as a lost cause unable to overcome their minority status and are hoarding the money to salvage Trump’s re-election.

    “The campaign just wants the money. . . . They don’t care about the House — it’s not their concern,” the official stated.

    House Republicans are furious with Kushner. They believe that Trump has a duty to help the party — not just himself,” particularly because some Republican House members in safe seats have forwarded donations in the tens of thousands of dollars to the RNC at the request of  Trump’s campaign officials.

    This is just too funny.😂 Republicans on Capitol Hill are finally starting to figure out what most Americans have been saying from the very beginning. Trump is an extreme narcissistic sociopath who only cares about himself. What they don’t realize, is that a life long criminal like Trump, sees the RNC money, as his own personal money. And that’s not hyperbole or an exaggeration. For the last 3 years, he’s been lining his pockets with millions of that money by holding campaign events at his properties. 😂

  7. 3:43: “Do you trust this man?”
    *Anxiously waits for answ-*
    Chris Hayes: “Hey there!! I’m Chris Hayes from MSNBC!!”

  8. I know why they are against helping the average person, it’s not “quid pro quo”.

    1. @Matt Thompson black people pulled from their car at gunpoint and shackled without being given cause, then having 4 officers kneel on him until he slowly, painfully dies from compression and positional asphyxiation (a lynching) – Law enforcement has gone crazy.

    2. Laura, black people are 18 times more likely to shoot a cop than a cop shoot a black person. Fact. Also you missed the point. My statement was about political violence. The cops didn’t murder the black trump supporter. A democrat did. Bingo.

  9. I remember when Benghazi was like the end of the world for Republicans when it came to Obama and Hillary. 150,000 Americans dead: ???

  10. No surprises here. Even a four year old would be able to see he doesn’t care. give us more to work with here Jeffries.

    1. Didn’t he? He did have a list of needful things to do — such as the notorious $200
      pittance.
