tRump and his administration are a deadlier threat to the US than the coronavirus.
At least the virus only kills you but Trump……………….?.
Don’t forget the “Demon-Rats”! LOL See what I did there? Now I’m just as mature as you Patrick Star! 😉
trump and company are covid-19’s greatest supporters.
@ricky heckendorf those republicans need to gave their sisters have those abortions for their brothers kid ask that senator steve king he says he’s an inbred
Read and share your view if you agree that COVID-19 was pushed into a pandemic? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTjX9WpW3gM&t=11s
Trump wanted to be considered a war time president because of this virus, sadly, he gave up the fight, he surrendered. what do you expect from a draft dodger.
He was a wartime president unfortunately he lost the war to an intellectually superior enemy. Remind me what he was fighting. Oh yes a virus.
@Evelyn Brown And what ?
John Mcsorley, trump is no president and longs to be a dictator.
steve o, don’t forget the battles he fought against std’s while in college.
Buzzz you are right on the money….
This administration chooses ideology over facts and personal loyalty over expertise.
I’m a Republican, but I hope he loses in November.
Exactly
@Warm Violet 😊
I don’t believe Fake Page Trolls or Bots. 🚨
Warm Violet <<— Fake Page Troll Trolling. 🚨
Syed Muhhamad <<— 🚨
someone needs to ask trump if he had to make a decision that would benefit the country but guaranteed he would lose reelection what would he do
He would still lose either way His actions will be what make him lose
@Warm Violet l think Biden has some serious medical issues he makes Trump’s stupidity look okay, the only time Trump doesn’t show what an utter moron he is is when they write down what he’s too say. Maybe they need to do the same with Biden as he can’t compete a train of thought either, here’s an idea they could co- president aMErica because it seems they are the best of what aMErica has become under Trump. How you guys haven’t all been put on Meds after the last 3 odd years is a credit to you, every day when you think the blatant corruption and stupidity can’t get worse Trump ups the ante or l could say Trump Trumps it. 🙃
DUH!
@Jayson S I say “you’re a terrible reporter”
@Warm Violet man, you trump idiots really have no brains of your own, huh. You even mimic the president down to his lame insults. Freakin pathetic 👎👎
Nixon is rolling over in his grave; quipping “Now, there’s a crook”.
@Lisa Elissa thank you very much for your kind words and the sentiment is reciprocated…although we don’t celebrate Memorial Day in my part of the world actually as a student of your history and politics ,I regard Nixon as a highly intelligent, effective President in certain aspects of his tenure obviously not Watergate although that looks innocuous compared to the stuff this guy gets up to ,his treatment of anti-war protesters not good either but his opening up of Sino/US dialogue was a good thing.
@Eddy Hanson Let’s see your proof that I am a liar….
@Jack Boot – you can’t even make one thing.
@Claudette J John Dean is still around — and loathes what tRump has done to this country.
All the past presidents mist,AES they made is nothing into compare what trump ha s done remember 94,000 p People are dead cause him mmm
Nixon: “I’m NOT a crook!”
Trump: “I’m a crook, so what?!”
GOP: “We are ALL crooks! Sue us!”

Still better than R e d n e c k F a s c i s t N a z i R a c i s t K K K Lickers. Your turn!
The American people we will so be prepared crook
Hans Weissman@ that’s hilarious, but sadly for the American people, it’s also true.
When has Trump ever cleaned up anything.
He’ll make things good for himself in the moment and someone else (the Democrats) will have to clean up after him.
He wouldn’t even Close his own Umbrella!
@Fabi Grossi Nailed it.
Steve Flynn He covered it up. Far from cleaning it up.
Rental Properties Yeah. “Tax & Spend”. “Overseeing the slowest recovery”. “Big government”.
We in the majority, let it happen. Do you think 100k dead Americans will change the cycle?
Naaaa they will shove it down. His throat llllloololo
Snake oil doesn’t cure anything, except the empty pockets of the salesman. Yet suckers keep buying Trump’s snake oil.
I see him standing in the back of a covered wagon holding up a bottle of hydroxychloroquine spouting “… this magical potion is the answer to all your ills…”
These very sick demented fools just want to believe he is the best ever.
Buy a red hat and ensure Chinese job security.
If there is a second wave, Trump will blame it on the governors.
First let’s decide whether blames on WHO are valid? Check out this WHO’s recommendations’ summary and share if you believe COVID-19 was pushed into a pandemic or not? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTjX9WpW3gM&t=11s
@Alisha Monique perhaps they took their lead from the president, who told everyone not to worry it would go away in April. The fish rots from the head.
Yup. Thats why he said he was in control of opening up then quickly changed to oh yeah its the governors call.
💡 U r spot on !> remember how the country was told ” there is Noone more qualified to be president than Hillary ” = the rest is History! …. now the Dems are trying to ForceFeed us Sleepy Creepy Joe ??? …. how Freakin Pathetic 👎
No hopefully he’ll be either dead or in jail
I love the way this man, Jon Meacham talks!! Articulate and concise not to mention describing things w out the word GREAT…Trump has exhausted the word!!
Nixon actually had a sense of shame.Trump is perfect in every way. Just ask him.
@Dawn Carlson
I SECOND THAT
@Michelle Samuel I shall, remember . I just assumed that people would “get it”. thanks
Shyann on this platform you never know some people do blindly follow Donnie dump.
Stephen you’re welcome
@Dawn Carlson that is so true
When will a journalist yell out, “That’s a lie!” when Trump is holding a press briefing and obviously lies?
@Eddy Hanson You doubt?? You doubt?? This is your comeback? All you do is counter my first sentence, and that too, it’s not even a counter but supposition, and speculation.
Okay, I doubt everything you’ve posted . I doubt that you think I am a phony, and have been lying to myself. You doubt me, and you know for a fact what I want?? I don’t know what your”fundamental change” is, but if it helps the educate the likes of you; I am all for it. This from a guy who has sold his soul for trump, from a guy who follows a group that have sold their souls to capitulate to trump, this from a guy who believes in a man who is ready to his mother for 75 cents on the dollar to help him pay off his debts.
Let me give you a piece of advise. Don’t you ever in your life tell another person you know what they believe in. If you want to play that game, I can tell you everything you believe in. You want that?
@Debby McCormack But he’ll listen to trump, when trump said don’t believe your eyes, your ears, and whatever other garbage he spouted at the time.
@Eddy Hanson No you just lump all the ones at MSNBC the same???
You think trump is telling the truth right. Okay go to your kitchen, or bathroom. Pull out any cleaner. Windex, Lysol, bleach, Mr. Clean, anything. Ingest it, and we’ll see what the truth is.
Let me ask you a question. Who are the news sources you use to enlighten yourself? Help me out here so I too can be as informed as you.
And every other reporter screams it too (similar to “I am Sparatacus!”). I would love to see how Trump would react to that.
💡 U r spot on !> remember how the country was told ” there is Noone more qualified to be president than Hillary ” = the rest is History! …. now the Dems are trying to ForceFeed us Sleepy Creepy Joe ??? …. how Freakin Pathetic👍
It’s always about him. That’s where he blew it. Enrichment.
The American people are chanting..”Lock him up. Lock him up.”
Only brainwashed lazy chumps like you that wanna sit at home an not work are chanting that.
May I remind you all of how many Counties in the USA voted Trump in 2016? He got 2,626 to Hillary’s 487. That’s called an Electoral Landslide. And due to the ill-willed Democrat actions in Gov’t over the last 3 1/2 years, we will not be losing a single County – but gaining more. You’ll get punished no given respect.
@Ralph Pickering no fresh air for him ! maybe something in cellblock ‘c’ with the ‘ bad hombres’? somebody that wants to take him to the spring social…….
@Mizzy Roro wow Charlie Manson your dad must have done a real head job on view skank
Unfortunately they are not. He continues to have 39% approval. WTF are you Americans not aware of how stupid nearly half your population is
Trump makes hitler look like a nice reasonable man who loves his country.
@Letta Mego thats funny what you said about calling people names . Trump has been called every bad name in the english language , BY THE DEMOCRATS .
@thomas fletcher why are you typing when you don’t have anything to say.?
No, don’t distort the truth that far. Trump is made of the same mold as Hitler.
@Valerie Etter molds ? What molds ? There are no molds .
@Letta Mego ………..
He deeply assume allowing Churches to open he’ll get more votes…silly on his part.🤷🏽♀️
Got killer biscuits tho
His advisors are a little more sophisticated.
Sheriff: The law says I have to arrest these people, but I’m conflicted. I support the president personally, and I am a man of faith. I must struggle and choose.
Trump might win the soul of someone who might have stood up to him if sh*t hits the fan.
If he does nothing, he is compromised.
Sheriff: I will arrest them, it’s my sworn duty.
Trump: Look at those leftists keeping my people from GOD. The First Amendment is under siege, they won’t takeout Second Amendment
Correct, what he is doing is endangering the lives of innocent people.
He can’t force governors to bow to his rule. It’s not a dictatorship YET! Vote for Biden 2020
He will get more deaths. Worst place to be church, bar or restaurant. Though, you cannot tell people any thing, let them find out the hard way. Good luck to All!
The sharpie monster makes Bernard Madoff look like an honest businessman.
OH BOO HOO ME NO LIKEY TRUMP HE’S SO MEANY I NEED MY SAFE SPACE
thomas fletcher “the jails would be full if it was a capital offense”?
I don’t think you understand what ‘Capital offense’ means.
Making something a capital offense would, by definition, ultimately reduce the numbers in jail.
@thomas fletcher Are you one of the people that convinced The pussey grabber that concussions are not real medical injuries?
Liberals make Satan look like a choir. Boy .
Mrs.H
Trump got the idea from Joe Biden in an interview with Steven Colbert who asked what he would do as President Biden said he’d have flags flying at half mast. The very next day Trump announced that he was having flags flying at half mast.
As a Vietnam vet (drafted), I never thought I would see a coward, traitor, fascist in the White House. This ignorant fraud has betrayed the United States for cash. Eisenhower would be appalled.
Thank you for your service….
Thank you for your honesty. And more so, thank you for your service. Vietnam vets deserved better and deserve more. Salute!
Thank you for your service and honesty. I appreciate hearing your opinion.
The most powerful person in the world, and all he does is whine about being the victim. Well trump, you are the greatest at being the worst president of all time, and we’ve never seen anything like it.
