  1. Trump: “So here’s the good news: The virus is a hoax, magic real, and my uncle attended MIT.”

    COVID-19: “So here’s the bad news. I am absolutely real, magic is not. I am immune to Trump’s lies and gaslighting, I can’t read a calendar, so I don’t know when Easter is, I can only be defeated with science, facts, and common sense, and your so called president is a criminally incompetent sociopath who doesn’t believe in science, facts, or common sense.”

    1. @Mr T. Sure that’s why the democrats go around and shoot up baseball fields, Vegas, nite clubs, elementary schools. You’re a special kind of stupid, Democrat stupid. Keep trucking anti-American. Your dems love people like you, the stupidest and easiest MORONS to manipulate on earth.

    2. @Dave Salimeno trumplodyte cultist, your schtick is weak! IMPEACHED is FOREVER and your trumpenfuhor will not have that asterisk next to his name in the history books, he will also go down as the worst president in history, his “response” to this pandemic has assured that!

      Americans are dying by the hundreds daily and all you can think about is how much of that cheeto you can shove down your lemming throat!

    1. It’s interesting how child fucker democrats seem to long for america to fail. Long for high death rates. Long for…. communism?
      Unfortunbately, child rapist democrats are not telling the truth. There are way more tested in the US, and that of course counts. Just not to child molester CCP cn democrats.

    2. @LOOK UP: 21 Quotes by Margaret Sanger I’m pretty sure you’re going to stay indoors so just carry on.

    3. kyle grant lol americas literal only plan. For pandemics is triage. Get an education, while your concerned with being right( surprise you are wrong lmao) people are dying. They have done and will continue to pull people off ventilators around the world to
      Give to younger people who have better chance of survival.

    4. LOOK UP: 21 Quotes by Margaret Sanger is that all ya got? Lmao after this the republicans will be no more.

    1. Have that hosted at Mar-a-lago. Can hold at least 5000 guests … no need for social distancing . Ivanka, Jared, Junior, Eric all invited together with their friends , and of course Bill Barr and Pompeo too

    2. Best case scenario for CNN’s Jake Tapper and all the other soulless cowardly ghoulish filth like him at CNN would be to contract a strong case of terminal rectal cancer now that would hopefully run it’s full course before November. Only this might help them avoid the excruciating painful butt-hurt they will certainly experience when our brave and courageous President is re elected.

    3. @R L I honestly love how imbecilic fuckstards like you have Donald Trump deeper into your heads than your favorite childhood memories.

    1. @jerry Hernandez watch 2004 The day after tomorrow…. When the time to act was too late… An horizontal red line was drawn across the map of America… anyone south of the red line will survive if prompt decision to act was given…. Anyone north of the line. too late to send help…people can only pray…. It is a matter of math…. due to indecision and clarity of coordination… many many lives will be lost due to the first waves…. Unfortunately, this includes the desperately needed medical staffs.., including those freshly accelerated graduated medical students rush mobilized to the front line without experience of seeing overflooded hospitals in Italy and Spain.

      Now, is more than ever, the news must track…. How many medical workers left to fight…. Spain, two weeks ahead of US… Lost ~10%..Tracking this number is far more important than the rapidly rising death. This no reflects the stamina how long US can stay fighting this marathon.

      US must send out help…. Asking any country who just finished fighting the first wave to send medical workers…

      There is still chance to save as many lives before the second wave… (anyone South of the red line… In analogy to the 2004…The World After Tomorrow)

      God bless the America…. may miracles dissolve the differences in opinions.. that prevent saving more lives.

    2. @Spencer Anderson this virus is going to decimate our country because of your president’s greed and vanity. Enjoy your corona

    3. @jerry Hernandez I honestly love how fuckstards like you have Donald Trump deeper into your heads than your favorite childhood memories.

    4. @jerry Hernandez the new truth… sending inexperienced medical first responders without moral support could be detrimental to them as well as the patients… US need veteran medical workers who have hard fought the virus at the front line…. They are from Italy, Spain, and China…. https://youtu.be/ilQDwaS8-6c

  2. Almost 1000 deaths in Italy in one day. Italy is equivalent to 1 maybe 2 states in the US. This is going to get way worse really soon.

    1. @Wigit Call centers are the worst. Petri dishes with 200, 300, 400, 500 employees in one big room with no fresh air. Shared equipment keyboards, mouse, sometimes headsets. They will explode with infection. I can’t get anyone to listen. I quit my call center job last week. I’m an eyewitness to the sloppy sanitation and apathy by the CEO and management. Business is booming. My call center gets paid by taxpayers.

  3. the US spends over the years trillions bombing people but not so much saving people, mad world we are living in.

    1. BlackPage#3 yup and that’s where all of the us tax dollars have been spent for the past 20 years

    2. @Spencer Anderson Wow what a vast vocabulary you have, sadly it might be too late now to get yourself an education.

    1. Don’t worry be happy! Your diabolical Trump-Turd, will make things better, just take a look how he has handled the crisis here in the United States!

    2. You know obama is a has been now…so techincally it is our sun god/supreme leader trumpcare “death panels”

  4. I’m from south Korea and we have universal healthcare. If catch cold you have to pay just $2~$3.
    I had appendectomy last year and I call ambulance (cost $35) and payed $630(6days in hospital).

    1. @DwynePen Well we pay much less for it per capita than the US. We pay a medicare levy and we’re all covered whether we have a job or not.

    2. @Eric w Healthcare should not be tied to a job. It should be totally separate and independent of a job. Millions of people in the USA stay in jobs they hate just to have health insurance. Slavery in the so-called land of the free.

    3. The US has extremely expensive insurances, not healthcare, all the doctors I work with would take chickens, eggs & ham as payments, it’s ridiculous having a 3rd party in the mix (insurances), I don’t call my auto insurance when I need a tune up or gasoline, f em. 40y ears healthcare experience in US & Asia…

  5. …..failing to prepare is preparing to fail, all countries had a 2 months head start when this broke out in Chine ….

    1. If Americans can land a man on the moon while its turning on its axis and going around the Earth, they surely can …

    2. Best case scenario for CNN’s Jake Tapper and all the other soulless cowardly ghoulish filth like him at CNN would be to contract a strong case of terminal rectal cancer now that would hopefully run it’s full course before November. Only this might help them avoid the excruciating painful butt-hurt they will certainly experience when our brave and courageous President is re elected.

  6. Trump just said that they are doing a good job from what planet did trump came from🙄🙄😏😏

  7. Can you imagine being the family told their mother must be taken off a ventilator so that it can be used on someone more likely to survive. This will be so gut wrenching.

    1. There’s the comment. So families will never know if things were different would they have a better chance to not lose a family member

    2. You do realise the family should know that money went to make another multi million dollar bomb rather than 100 ventilators.

    3. Aren’t ventalators plastic? How do they get sterilized? Ewwwww…

      Unfortunately, this kind of thing is done every day in the USA. They take dying people off food and water and let them die in a week or two or three. It’s true.

  8. This administration doesn’t know the word “prepare”. It’s only reaction and other primal behaviors.

    1. @Maria Lindly Considering you seem like the typical unintelligent Trump supporter, i’ll clarify and say I was referring to Trump sitting on his hands for two months+

  9. Trump: America need to open on Easter
    COVID-19: Don’t try me, I’ll infect more people
    Stock Market: Keep Lying Trump

    1. Louie Marinda Jr. even at these times he wants to gain glory and that is more important than lives of the average Americans. It’s amusing somehow why the people there still adores his fake news so much. America first policy really worked to their favor, now they are the first in terms of number of corona cases.

  10. Clearly this virus has proven that America’s healthcare system isnt as great as everyone seems to think it is.
