Lawrence: Trump Gave Republicans False Hope On Coronavirus | The Last Word | MSNBC

    1. Trump is a drug addicted actor being used to distract the American people from what the corporate lobbyists and corrupt politicians are doing behind the scenes which is that they are destroying the American government from the inside.

    1. @Jessica Cook Do you ACTUALLY think he went to ANY school? His Dad evidently bought his diploma.

    2. @Grace Bertrand , unfortunately that was the only logical conclusion I could come up with. It was either that or he paid someone else to take his classes for him…which would work too.

    1. Some of the people that voted for him was just disgusted with the same old.Knew what they’d get with Hillary.
      They where democrats and independents and knowing some they have buyers remorse.
      Unfortunately once again if Joe is the choice there is nothing to get excited about.

    3. @J C No J C. To Mexico where all of Tramp’s rapists (excepting Tramp himself, of course) and murderers live where they can encounter one of each in that order.

    4. @claude kelley God bless you and your family also during these horrendous days. Ireland is just now feeling the first wave hit. And it’s horrifying to witness what’s happening around Europe, America and the rest of the world. The psychopath in the White House doesn’t demean your service or that of other veterans anywhere and everywhere. He demeans humanity. That an amoral coward could become the Commander-in-Chief of the US Navy you served honourably, and all your Armed Services is sickening to the core. Take care.

    1. @Khalimero Adam So ur blaming trump for the virus?? How does that make any sense. Hes doing every thing shutting down schools jobs everything, but ive realized its not about that u people will hate and blame him for everything there is no discussion. He hasnt killed any1 on the contrary, u people are disgusting

    2. @Khalimero Adam Trump has done more in 4 yrs than any past president and the people that trash him.dont deserve it

    3. @Victor Cruz hey Vic, how do you like the US passed Italy in infections (and soon deaths)? We now know DJT knew since January what was coming and not only he did nothing but he down played it all along…. Do you still believe he just casually made a mistake?

    1. @J Bell 1,000 comments on a news site you despise.
      You seem to be a bit of mental case, J Bell.
      A nearly new account, and a thousand comments.
      *T* rumps
      *D* ick
      *S* uckers are TDS (tedious)
      Mother Fudders.

    2. Tootie Ramsey Nope. We weren’t. We were saying you ppl were politicizing it and you still are. It’s disgusting. As I said, we are not in this together because of your party and it’s media

    3. @J Bell And we seeing the Right make money by illegally selling off their Stock before the market crashes. The Rights trying to give money to businesses and does not want to put any limits on how they can spend it. Never mind that the last time we bail out businesses , they gave their CEO bonuses , Redecorated there offices and did Stock Buybacks all while firing their employees.

  1. I shake my head every time he speaks, how is this tosser the president 🤔🤔😔😔🇦🇺

    1. @T P I know that the version we’re allowed to read is HEAVILY redacted but have you bothered to actually read the Mueller report? Obviously not or there’s no way you’d ask that question. tRump supporters, I’ve noticed, love to say “Can you prove that, show me the evidence” thinking that it’ll end the conversation because they believe that the anti-trumper will be unable to. The fact is that it probably will end the conversation but only because the anti-trumper knows that the evidence has already been shown to you about 100 times or more but you’ve refused to look at it. Please, do yourself a favour, the redacted version of the Meuller report is available on line. Actually read it – it’ll take an hour or two but it’s time well spent – and please pay particular attention to the paragraph where Meuller makes it clear that the ONLY reason he didn’t indict tRump was that he didn’t feel it was within his authority to indict a sitting president but that he had more than enough evidence to do so.

    2. Victor Cruz I agree with you, trump does need help. He is clearly not operating on all cylinders or as we say down under “ a sandwich short of a picnic” 🇦🇺

  2. The black Monday crash was on Ronald Reagan’s watch… the recession was caused on George W. Bush’s watch… the all time worst of all presidents of all time is Donald Trump… all the Republicans that voted for him… remember this is partially your fault.

    1. @George B You should fact check that. He didn’t call it a hoax. If Trump or republican’s are responsible for coronavirus then Obama and democrats are responsible for H1N1. Over 12,000 people died just here in America. That kind of logic or lack of is ridiculous!

  3. They were idiots to believe him, and Actually, I’m sure they didn’t believe him, but they always parrot what he says, for fear of being tweeted about, because they are weak men that care about the party more than human lives, versus the CDC.
    The Republicans didn’t give about the reality of what is happening abroad.
    Parts of Italy were very quarantined, but still, 364 people died there in a space for 24 hours yesterday.

  4. False hope is all he ever provides. He is a confused and troubled fool, trying to anticipate what is coming next so he can cover his steps…but never can. Pathetic old man.

    1. The authority  con fooling the insecure who have hope for something special  for them.  Just add ism to anything.

    1. Jim Kilpatrick yet dumb pathetic liberals like you believe everything the Jewish communist liberal media tells you even though it’s been proven over and over again all they do is lie everyday.

    2. @Miguel Cools Your answer just shows that you are braindeda. Since when do you have to be communist to hate Trump? STFU

    1. Shouldn’t they be working on containing Covid-45 instead of standing there nodding their heads like yes-men? Never mind, answered my own question there.

    1. @Victor Cruz – he doesn’t show his taxes because he doesn’t want us to know he was BANKRUPT before running for office

  5. I remember when he got elected someone said “Not even Trump supporters deserve what he will do to this country”

  6. A great job of Havoc, Scandals and Lies. “Ego is the anesthetic that dulls the pain of stupidity”. * Booker T. Washington *

  7. The most illegitimate incompetent and criminal administration in American history….
    Come 11/3 I’ll be voting for joe.

    1. @DeathCeroKing
      Wow, your perceptions about what center right wing is is way off center. But considering the name you chose to post with I figure you’ve got to be about 12 years old right? So you’re forgiven for not knowing what you’re talking about. 👍🏻😉

    2. George B I’m not saying Trump is better or worse I’m saying Joe Biden will not improve anyone’s life. Democratic voters don’t seem to understand that the system works for the rich. Y’all keep voting blindly just because it’s your party(Democratic).

      What im saying is Joe Biden should have never gained this much support. It was supposed to be Bernie but yall (Democrats) would rather vote for someone who is worse than Hilary. Joe Biden is Hilary 2.0 and I would rather vote Trump over that tool.

  8. False hope, false info, false leadership, and false insurance. Because he is a false President who only spreads falsehoods.

    1. Don’t forget that he campaign on having a better plan witch would provide better coverage for more people for less money than Obama Care. He said that at his speech in Madison Alabama in 2016 before the Primary, and latter during the Presidential Debate,
      Still waiting for that plan. So far all we got from him on health Care is “Health Care is Hard”.

    2. @Miguel Cools that’s not how the level headed, intelligent people of the world see things. Sorry, deadhead. Wake up, find truth.

    3. @Rich Greene Mark Keller is clearly a right-thinking person: he sees right through Trumpski 😉
