Jon Meacham: Trump's Reaping What He Sowed After Attacking Government | The 11th Hour | MSNBC
Trumps reaping what he sowed unfortunately at the expense of others! 😤
“I take no responsibility” The press says horrible things about me! I know more than anybody! My uncle was a genius. Doesn’t Ivanka ….
Thomas Headley Listen to 30 seconds past “no responsibility” or not. You sound like you believe the propaganda of the MSM. I don’t really care what you want or don’t want to believe. President Trump will be re-elected in Nov..
Eagle Eyes Yes—and now we will reap the whirlwind.
@Everything Except Shoes
AND???????
Queen Bee That would be Gorsuch and Kavanaugh—according to Cryin’ Chuck! Every part of the negative portrayal of OUR President comes from decades of corruption inD.C.!!! Let the indictments be opened!!!
A vote for trump is a vote for stupidity and ignorance…..
@just me #YIKES
And how many millions of dollars do you have? Small people are always jealous of success.
@Byron Allen …AIN’T NO WAY I’M ENVIOUS OF A RECESSIVE OLD ORANGE HEATHEN IN A BURLAP WIG W/A SPARE TIRE AROUND HIS WASTE & A SCOWL ON HIS DROOPY FACE STEMMING FROM WHITE FRAGILITY ISSUES OVER OUR PREVIOUS PRESIDENT BECAUSE THE COUNTRY DID BETTER UNDER A BLACK MAN FOOL..!!! #GETOVERIT. #TRUMPISAFAILURE. #OBIDIAH
Always was and always will be, what else could one expect from a lying corrupt and ignorant elite.
@10,000 of you for 1 Charlie Whiskey FOR WHO’S FREEDOM?..WHITE PEOPLES..???
I hear the repugs are still planning to pull food stamps on April 1. From the most vulnerable among us. Makes ya proud don’t it
So much winning!
@Hanny Hawkins you sound totally Godless. I’d bet on it, but speak for yourself. At least you are espousing much truth
@Nicole Brown you sound like an Obamaites.
Daniel Alveo 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Jim Battersbee I whole heartedly agree. The myth of the American Dream is that everyone has equal OPPORTUNITY. That is not true and you more see the effects of white supremacy and Christian Nationalism masquerading as populism. The brown slides and dark skinned people, the economically poor, the disenfranchised (like the formerly incarcerated) and the least able to rise up are kept in their place. Do not be fooled, this is about power and money, nothing else.
Trump actually tried to con the coronavirus into thinking that it wasn’t real, so that maybe it would just magically disappear. I think he’s finally realizing that he can’t gaslight a virus the same way he gaslights his cultists.
Dominique Roydor liberals didn’t reference Bush during Obama. Get out of here with that whataboutism stuff.
Charles L Jones he never said Douglas was still alive. “Frederick Douglass is an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job.” That’s what he said. Just like one could say George Washington is someone whose done amazing job crafting our path to independence. Biden thinks he’s running for Senate and his wife is his sister. Oh he said instead of did oh nooooo. Biden thinks half the US population died from gun violence. Need I go on?
T J Biden likes to touch young girls. Smelling them and rubbing their shoulder. A massage or two. He’s a weirdo.
Anthony Cabassa like Biden being okay with his son banging his dead son’s wife. That’s gross.
Samurai Jack no just not voting for someone with dementia. At least Trump believes his lies. Biden probably believes it’s 1985 and the soviets are on the March.
There is no deep state! We have “Deep Stupidity” in Trump’s head! And, we have even “Deeper Stupidity” in republikkkans heads!
Real American I’m in agreement.
Real American I’m in agreement except the corrupt FBI did it to cover their own misdeeds!!! They needed HRC to win so all that’s being investigated by Barr & Durham would have been swept under the rug! Bring the Indictments!!!
Real American And you unreal American will not like the information coming from those investigations!!!
Real American You have listened and learned from anti-Christs. I don’t worship a god. Satan is a god. I worship GOD and you should learn the difference. It would help you with your naivety.
Well they had their chance to get rid of him I don’t want to hear their bitcn’
Vladimir Putin is somewhere laughing
Good points ,yet 30 is less than 50% of 70 …Putin is 50% less happy… Russian activiety in Syria …make u.s. and Saudi s unhappy…war is. “An extension of policies” it’s the same as cold war jousting…perhaps it’s rope a dope…it’s fishy
@Dave Schultz
Re: “Putin loves Democrats. They do all the work for him. Meanwhile Trump is collapsing Russia’s economy.”
Then why did Putin help Trump get elected?
CNN fake news russia collusion with corona virus😂
@Sub Optimal , Exactly. They never report news about Russia or its economy. They only mention them when they “try” to link Trump.
@Dave Schultz
Re: “They never report news about Russia or its economy. They only mention them when they “try” to link Trump.”
No-one linked Trump to Russia, that is apart from Trump and Russia and the evidence. Russia was of course, keen on Trump because Trump wasn’t patriotic, was eager to be corrupted and doesn’t care about the US, only money and power. True US patriots are not bribable, which is why the Russians didn’t want a Democrat President. The GOP is currently an anti-American, pro-Russia political party. I cite: Moscow Mitch & Trumpski.
That’s almost certainly why In 2008, Donald Trump sold a $40 Million Palm Beach mansion to Russian oligarch Dmitry Rybolovlev for the record price of $95 million, $13 million more than the most expensive Palm Beach mansion sale up to that moment.
The transaction is newsworthy again as new questions surround contacts between members of Trump’s administration and Russian government officials.
The Fraud in Chief and his clown car full of yes men have failed…
@eastwest312 paq
Stupidity is what has obviously become rampant among the deplorables…
Dominique Roydor i have a feeling English isn’t your first language
@eastwest312 paq judging by how often you ask for others to explain things to you, “I have a feeling english isn’t your first language” either. Calm down snowflake, it’s not like anyone accused you of being intelligent before…😘
@eastwest312 paq
Well, you shouldn’t trust YOUR feelings…… Someone who convinced himself that the orange moron is the ultimate leader for this nation, should be wary of his own judgment…….
Everblue Freediving well said!
Don’t cult leaders do that too? Make you think they are the only one that can be believed?
Usually while cutting your dietary intake which makes you more succeptable to brainwashing. Hey look Trump made school food unhealthy again, and cut inspectors from the FDA who provided oversight of food companies to make sure their products were safe…
The FDA and food inspectors (and drug inspectors and, face it, competent architecture inspectors) were outnumbered by the demands of the system as it was! And now today!…. We’re being poisoned with everything from hormones to fatten the animals up…to actual poison! (usually residue from cleaning the blades)…they’re overworked!
Yep. Exactly. What we have witnessed (and FOX is complicit) is the systematic brainwashing of a good number of American people. That Evangelicals believe he is a moral and religious person in spite of clear facts to the contrary, tells you all you need to know about how effective the brainwashing has been. Now people will die for it, no so much unlike Jim Jones, et al.
Trump’s GOP is unfit for public office. For the American’s who survive this pandemic, vote out every single Republican.
Folks you have a robo troll here, repeating the same b.s. to get you upset.
And where in the heck…..are his tax records?
@David V there are institutions that will give you food and water. 1 hour a day out of the room. But be careful, reality may f### your face up a little. No……a lot
@David V you don’t seem to be taking your own advice.
@Have a nice Dave I think that’s another way of spitting in the wind
Jon Meacham is right. I don’t like Biden but as an alternative to the orange clown I’ll take him.
@janewright315 – “tRump is barely any better than Putin. Combine it with the fact that tRump’s cult is asleep and think that their problems are solved, tRump will continue Putin’s work with no republiKKKlans noticing or protesting. No, tRump is no better than Putin.”
@J Z Biden can’t even finish a sentence without mumbling. The debate clearly showed that Biden will never be President.
Raydensheraj I’ll take a mumble over a liar any day!
@Raydensheraj – “Biden is articulate and presidential. The debate clearly showed that Biden will be our next President.”
I’d prefer a moldy english muffin for President above the orange menace tRump any day!
“We have met the enemy and he is us!” The Trump-Recession is entirely due to his ineptitude, ignorance and corruption. Trump is the Covid-19 of the market.
Covfefe-45
Trump and his minions have the audacity blaming China for the outbreak to deflect the fact of their own incompetence is really troubling me …seriously, anyone who still believes in Trump is diseased.
@Lawrence DeHarde : I’ve tried to wake people up, but Trump is a powerful drug.
@Joe Della Selva
Re: “I think the administration is doing the best with the hand they were dealt.”
Nope. The facts speak unequivocally and they do not support your view.
a) The Trump administration disbanded the U.S. pandemic response team in 2018. That same year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was forced to slash its efforts to prevent global disease outbreak by 80% as its funding for the program began to run out. The agency, at the time, opted to focus on 10 priority countries and scale back in others, including China.
b) The Trump Administration refused Coronavirus tests from WHO and waited weeks for the CDC to produce a faulty test. Availability of tests was and remains very limited. During this time the virus was spreading silently in the community, for weeks, perhaps as long as six-weeks. This was determined retrospectively by sequencing the virus in two apparently unlinked patients infected with the virus possessing the same rare mutation.
@Joe Della Selva
Re: “Trumps a dope” Agreed, wholeheartedly.
Re: “but there are good competent persons in the administration.” – But fewer competent persons remain virtually every day. Trump clearly does not value science or experts. Dunning-Kruger effect poster-child Trump thinks that he’s a world expert, except he’s a world-class dunderhead (because his ignorance is very extensive). It’s fairly obvious that Trump prefers yes-men loyal to him over genuine competence with world-class expertise. Being competent and disagreeing with Trump (especially in public) can and has get one fired. Making a donation to Trump’s re-election campaign is a fast-track for an incompetent to reach a position that they cannot possibly fill competently.

Now we can see how naked this wannabe emperor is!
I totally agree with you figuratively, but I don’t want to go there literally.
grubbs517 eeeerrkkkkk what an awful thought
@alrowdha I AM sorry! I’ll chip in on the therapy sessions to get you through the trauma. I’ve been drinking heavily to drown out that visual since I posted.
grubbs517 i had to trash my ipad. Viva la revolution!
alrowdha Now? We could see before he was elected. The only folks that couldn’t or wouldn’t were the greedy, dumb and those with his mentality. All of them stayed the course with confirmation bias.
The trump cultists still only believe in trump’s alternate facts and realities.
@Hildebeast Clinton The media has not called him Hitler; at most they’ve shown the many, many legitimate ways that he is following Hitler’s footsteps. If you still can’t see what he is, try this: just imagine if you can that Trump is exactly the corrupt, ignorant, narcissistic, petty tyrant that everyone else sees. Just for pretend. What, if anything, would he say or do differently from what he’s already done?
Hildebeast Clinton Fake is all the nasty divisive Trump. He is attacked because he attacks. Wake up to the truth please
@Hildebeast Clinton bro look at how you guys treated Obama McConnell literally said his job was to make him a one term President Trump killed everything he did to spite him now he gutted the CDC and look what happened
@Hildebeast Clinton give me facts prove me wrong
The important word in blind loyalty is blind.
As Brother Malcolm would say, “The chickens have come home to roost.” Thanks MAGA hats!
MAGA hat makes good tp
Robert Harrison At least we have some supplies you snowflakes will have to use your hands. Oh and good luck feeding your family. We dont need grocery stores to tell us what and when we can eat..
J Z Yup 👍 what ever you say commie..
Democrats still think barack obozo is still the president😂
Another Citizen “Well, the cows have come home to roost! The gloves are off. It’s fourth and ten and you are facing a full court press”. – Frank Drebin
looking like a trump casino, airline, university, vitamins, everything the clown touches, if he wasn’t born rich he would be on welfare.
What an interesting insight I totally see that
That’s why he wants to keep him and his Rich buddies taken care ofpeople don’t realize it but we give way more to the rich then we do the poor
Everything he has ever touched has been corrupt yet he is potus?
@MusicMadMaurice Republicans will destroy america, they have already done tremendous damage , i work at medical facilities and they know that this virus will mutate and then you will see millions die
On welfare or in jail.
I hope this sinks tRump and his deplorables!
@Dana Micks
And don’t let some try to convince you that you should not vote in the general election. Some online trolls are encouraging Democrats not to vote in the general.

Sadly, the deplorables will still be around…… certainly, until this country start offering free or affordable education to ALL its citizens…….
The problem is we are in the same boat with Trump and his deplorables…..
@slow motion
Don’t waste your time….. No imaginary friend is going to help!
@Dana Micks
Great idea….. Much more practical and realistic than praying, as slow motion above suggests!
Trump has met his greatest enemy. He can’t lie, bribe or tweet this one away.
“Can I just cut it a check for $130,000?”
“No mr president. That isn’t going to work this time.”
“I’ve got nothing then.”
😄😆
Democrats are suffering from TDS far worst then corona virus😂
Yeah. He met another virus.
Drew Vanheistel for f*** sake. English please, Trumper.🤬 so dumb
He can’t even handle this pressure… he sends his puppy dog Pence to handle it
Trump lies. And then he lies about lying.
And then he lies about lying about lying.
