Travelers who came to the U.S. from abroad Saturday were met with chaos as new coronavirus screenings snarled airports around the country, forcing travelers into overcrowded lines for hours. Aired on 3/16/2020.

Joe: Trump Was So Ill-Prepared On Airport Screenings | Morning Joe | MSNBC
It’s almost like trump skated through life on daddy’s checkbook and when faced with a crisis of any kind, he shows his ignorance.
When his father was alive, he would bail Donald out. Dad’s gone now and we’re stuck with his mess.
He skated through the last 3 years economically riding Obama’s coattails, just like he rode his daddy’s coattails economically his entire life. But now he’s ruined the Obama economy in record time, and we will all pay for it. Exceot the rich of course, Their socialist bailouts have already begun.
His mistake is thinking his blustering of “having the best people” will calm us…just the opposite. It may be better for all of us, Republicans and Democrats and the rest if he just shuts up and for once in his life let the experts (the real experts) do their jobs. We may just get out of this with less deaths. Yeah, that will never happen. To our country’s misfortune.
@Margaret Nicol Sadly, he won’t.
@hoffer54 True! Sigh!!!
Wonder how many TSA screeners have tested positive and passed it on to these hapless travelers.
Without a doubt, the most incompetent, corrupt administration in US history
@Rain Walker 👍
Philip Clarke and he is still gonna win again Cuz Joe and bernie are clowns
@Printagic Online You mean “Randal Flagg” don’t you? He is really running the shi… show.
@Dennis Feenstra Frightening indeed!
@Lallare 13 I know what you mean..I prefer Bernie though. The fact is that all it takes is for us to turn out and vote. Republicans are a minority numerically
This prez and his Administration will go down in history as one of the all-time biggest cluster F’s ever.
Well said.
Oh Aaaaannd that it didn’t occur to them that the Dr. Was the acting president of the United States Well, once the white house briefing started😁.
Hail to the mighty Dr. Fauci.
Don’t think its hit ’em yet 😂
They were better off staying in Europe in their hotel rooms.
Nancy Jay the ban was never on permanent residents or citizens.
@Alison People in another country can get the virus. I am an American living in the UK as a permanent resident. I have family in the States, but I get conflicting information from the Embassy about my ability to travel. I have a brother who is in long term care, and should he die (compromised immune system and he is 62), nobody is sure if I would be allowed in the US.
Nancy I’m so sorry to hear that. My initial reference is in response to the congestion at the airport. I’m pretty sure, if you were able to fly, that the airport wouldn’t be as packed as it was last week. Nonetheless let’s keep each other in prayer and hunker down to try to ride out this storm in faith. Stay strong.
72 hours was short of appropriate notice, with no clarity on details. U.S. citizens should have no problem regardless returning home. I returned from Vietnam (5 years) Tuesday, the 17th through OHare, and it was my quickest clearing of U.S. customs in my life. Never took my temperature, nor ask for my health declaration form I filled out transiting in Qatar. I came from 2 low risk areas, but Qatar to OHare, I have no idea who I was traveling with. They went through customs similar to me.
@Alison Correct, and they should have made that very clear to the public and media to relay information.
I’m sure he’s gonna say “Obama restrictions prohibited me from allowing this to happen.” This man is evil.
Poor snowflakes have got TDS and it’s much worse than the Bat Flu…..you poor things!
@Naima Alicassim Wow. And I was being sarcastic. This man really is crazy. And there’s a lot of idiots who rally behind him. Just sickening.
@Phill Davis name calling is the what you say when you’ve got nothing left to argue with.
@glkmee22 It’s true my friend. Brain washed unfortunately.
glkmee22 2 white guys at the top of the ticket. Rich “super” delegates suppressing your vote. Yeah how long pelosi Biden and Sanders in Congress for? You guys are kind of a joke to be honest
That’s donny, shooting from his enormous hips. Misfiring with his tiny hands
Great description.
Old ugly and stupid…….what’s not to dislike? The PLA fart needs to go.
Patty Kelly and lying out of his big mouth
I wonder what fox news is saying about this? oh yeah – a hoax trying to hurt the president! Yes – let’s hurt him by just showing his total inadequacy.
@Deborah Hoffman Of course they did. When Obama and Hillary were starting the Korean war and creating new recipies for tasty dishes where you eat live kittens, the virus was merely a byproduct of their condiment research. Meanwhile, Pelosi and Schiff worked their puppy farm to sell the little pupsters to Montgomery Burns for his puppy pelt vest. Then they invented tornados.
@YTC Management That right, you tell ’em. Christmas cards for Putin, a lovely fruit basket for Kim Jong un, and let us fondly remember Jack the Ripper, Hitler and Mussolini. How unfair to hate your orange balloon animal when all he is doing is promoting hatred, bigotry, robbing the taxpayers blind, lying to the American public, etc. Even traitorous lunatics need love.
You should read the comments under the FOX news clips, the Trump zombies are praising him and saying how wonderful he is doing controlling the situation. It’s honestly scary to know people like that exist.
@Angela Siegfried he did a 180
@YTC Management why? He hasn’t
“Do something now?!?!?!?” THIS STUPID ANMINSTRATION KNEW ABOUT THIS 4 MONTHS AGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Keith Mcmorrow well Ben Rhodes said he did, publically!
And he was one of their bosses as Natioan Security Advisor Secretary (the head bunch)
@jas113607 first of all , nothing morning blow and mika say are true . I dont believe anything on these leftist news sites.
@jas113607 yea, nsc leakers who cant be trusted .lol ive researched it over and over , its lies, actually its been funded more than ever b4. Just leftist smears that all come out as lies in the end. How many ” bombshells” do you need b4 you realize that they are nothing . Every single one has been a lie. Hillary didnt buy the dossier , complete lie.
Avenati had the evidence to take trump out, lie. Boltons book,lie, mueller report was the end , lie. Impeachment , lies. People keep believing these millionaires who are paid to say what their boss tells them and thousands of lies later you still bank on every word. They cried wolf for so long, nobody believes anything they say.
@Keith Mcmorrow fair enough. You made an observation.
@Keith Mcmorrow okay, so please do expound some more Keith.
It reads like what You’re saying is don’t believe nothing That’s happened these last few years-with either administration?
Also, ars You saying don’t believe Ben Rhodes either, even though je came out stating he was the last NSA secretary overseeing the pandemic team that Obama’s administration created?
Remember he said it at the rose garden, ” no, no, I don’t take responsibility.” He simply cannot think beyond himself, his needs, his worries, etc. He cannot lead, receive information, or act in a rational mature manner. He cannot plan beyond the time it takes to tweet. You cannot manage a pandemic by tweet and that is precisely how he has run the country for the past three years. We are in deep and the president refuses to believe it.
@Genevieve Words That could be closer to the truth than anyone wants it to be.
When he married Ivana (Soviet Czech) in 1977, the Soviets started to actively seek to enlist him as an American asset.
At one point they dangled a carrot of a building a hotel across from the Kremlin. He pursued that goal for years. Apparently he failed to perform to KGB expectations so he never got the ok to build.
https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/11/19/trump-first-moscow-trip-215842
Tammy A ……………. THAT was definitive, Freudian, self-own: “I don’t take responsibility AT ALL !” . It should be the Democrats mantra – Put on T-shirts and EVERY ad until election time ( IF he’s still around ….. I think it still possible that Republicans GET RID of their Typhoid Mary for hopes of self-preservation ) . trump = Take credit, spread Blame, NO Responsibility EVER . That’s his whole life story .
Vote him Out ………………. Ivana’s family connections in the then Czechoslovakian Secret Service ( KGB satellite ) got their hooks in him . Their Ops in Bratva eliminated older brother and 1st heir Freddie trump Jr. … and made it appear to be a suicide . Whether Donnie knew ahead of time or not is speculative . But from then on, he was a sleeper agent . Ever think how these numbnuts never pause to wonder how ANYONE could go bankrupt SIX TIMES and still come out smelling so sweet – – a ‘successful’ businessman ? Anyone else would have been in the slammer or fled the country as a fugitive .
@JoeyFiveandDimes Ahh, learned one. Sounds like you’ve been around the block a few times.
@JoeyFiveandDimes They did dangle that hotel in red square across from the Kremlin in his face bc he bragged (no surprise) about it at a fund raising dinner in NYC. He & Ivana were newlyweds at the time. He attended charity dinners but never donated. (no surprise there either).
” There’s no bank of talent” BECAUSE HE DOESN’T HAVE A BANK OF TALENT. He has ” yes people” who tell him what he wants to hear.
First rule of business: Select & surround yourself with the best professionals you can afford to hire.
Second rule of business: Listen to the advice of your hired professionals!!
Problem is, Trump ran his business as a DICTATORSHIP.
Why is it that ppl fail to understand that 6 bankruptcies is not “the norm”.
He did that to cheat his creditors, mortgage holders & sub contractors. Its called fraud. Guess who paid for all 6……
Taxpayers.
@Butch Mitch The corrupt Republican Senate gave him a free pass.
@Butch Mitch He is the freaking president and has the entire government at his fingertips. If not him than who? https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/02/24/west-coronavirus-china-quarantine-covid-19-pandemic/
@Dusty Rains I like putin
@Dusty Rains tantrump claimed Article Two gave him the power to do whatever he wanted. It should and will hold true for the Democrat President elect after election day 2020 when the shoe will be on the other foot and the gop won’t have a leg to stand on. Expect the antiquated, corrupt electoral college to be disbanded, as easily as tantrump did to the pandemic response team, by a flourish of the new Potus’ pen, as the first order of business immediately after inauguration.
Washington: “I can’t tell a lie”
Nixon: “I can’t tell the truth”
Trump: “I can’t tell the difference”
theguyisinthailand you are delusional and unintelligible
Johnathan Brown 2 white guys at the top of the ticket. Rich “super” delegates suppressing your vote. Yeah how long pelosi Biden and Sanders in Congress for? You guys are kind of the joke to be honest. How long pelosi, shumer, Biden and Sanders been in Congress again?
@Guy on Clockwise WTF are you saying?? Your Russian translator isn’t working!
Morning Joe has been clueless on this crisis since Day 1
That is what I’m talking about Trump and company sounds like a bad tv sitcom
Just saying : the gop had a chance to change the administration during the impeachment and they wasted it … Good luck usa
I can’t understand why anybody with any sort of iq could vote red ever again, clowns
Above All, United Yeah how long were dem leaders in Congress? 40+ years? What a joke you people are. You can never criticize a democrat for anything. Some are so corrupt and so disgusting. It’s really creepy. But I would stack my education, drive and devotion up to yours any day. You and your cult of leftists are small and pathetic. Trump owns you. Always has. Your party owns you. You just sit back and take the fact that rich people in your party are the people that select the old white candidate😂. Hahahaha. Two old white men. Go battle some more ghosts: I’ve never seen a collective group of people more brainwashed than leftists😂🤣
@Above All, United I think you answered your own question. Low IQs.
@Above All, United Stupid is as stupid does.
@J Bell republicans are working for Russia are you kidding me. Are you Russian?
Tell the truth. “Caught in bad judgment” is the quote. Caught in “incompetence”, would be more accurate. Tell it like it is, eh?
He’s so concerned about the market. And every time he speaks the market tanks.
He thinks lowering interest rates can solve everything. If he wasn’t so keen on juicing every single drop from the market by bullying the Fed into keeping the interest rate near zero to begin with, the Fed may have a little more ammunition to ease the market.
After today’s massive plunge, almost all the gains made since January 2017 are GONE.
If you think one person in that crowd doesnt have the virus, you’re a fool. All those people pretty much got the virus
That’s my thoughts as well
You called this enhance screening really?! I was a Trump supporter not anymore.
Alex Hurst and even some of your enemies
Kevin K. Trump is a cult leader just like false pastors and teachers people get brainwashed so it’s a blessing when people gets free so yes I’m happy for Christians freedom vote 🗳 blue save our precious country
Bemcgonigle yes and I hope many more of his followers eyes are opened for the sake of our country. 🗳 blue no matter who November 3rd. Signed ex REPUBLICAN
JoeyFiveandDimes yes just like when people are brainwashed by false pastors and teachers it takes the Lord to free people trump is a false leader who brainwashed a lot of people so I rejoice when one see the truth. Signed ex REPUBLICAN
I passed through OHare Tuesday afternoon, arriving from Vietnam, via Qatar. My fastest custom experience ever re entering U.S.. They never took my temperature, and never ask for health form I filled out in Qatar to enter U.S.. Crazy. 4 days earlier, OHare was chaotic. What a turn around!!!. I did come from 2 low risk areas, but I was flying with people of unknown risk areas.
I want him to keep on holding those rallies and keep on having all those people at his back when he takes the podium. Keep on gathering them all together, oh wise one.
Yep. They mainly elderly – most at risk.
Their dear leader will protect them…
Lol .
but then if hem do dis hem may help many to move on to the next life, hem to stupid for that,…..wait….. maybe hem to smart for that?….wait maybe hem act like it Dems fault or maybe say its a Hoax…..
Dis president like no other president, no make any sense except to hemself
Idiocracy isn’t just a movie. It’s become our society’s reality!
Remember in November!
@Chook not sure 3 states have cancelled their primaries
@Chook It works both in Colorado and Oregon. Convince you election commissions to look to our examples.
Aaron Fader thank you for your advice reminding me not to vote for a Democrat.
@PJH199 1 How about voting for the future of your country and if that means voting outside of your party when necessary, then so be it. In November, I will vote for any candidate over this lunatic we’ve had in the WH for the past 3 years.
The unscripted reality show.
he wouldn’t have been “ill-prepared if he hadn’t fire his administration who are experts in this time of crisis!!!
Creating a narrative to help win the presidency is pathetic. BUT it’s what we’ve come to expect from you. Here’s the real deal…..You have 2 white guys at the top of the ticket. Rich “super” delegates suppressing your vote. Yeah how long pelosi Biden and Sanders in Congress for? You guys are kind of a joke to be honest
@azice01 We are all in this together, so we need to learn from China, Italy read, see what happens when you take measures. Sorry to see the stable genius is against all this. America first, market first, big corporations first, you the people can just die.
The trump hates scientists that don’t worship him and parrot him .
Swamp = Competent people, apparently.
@azice01 well said
