  1. Eating lots of garlic wont stop the virus, but at least it could be helpful to keep social disctance…..

    1. Anton Wilzewski All the dentist in our town is shut down! You are lucky, I certainly hope no one I know gets a toothache, LOL!

    1. Considering he is now on the firing line, he might not be as happy. Though, neither will we when yet another adult in the room might be kicked out because the Baby Man had another tantrum at being corrected.

    2. @sidgdansk well. Maybe some . Not the same but. I had conspiratorial person tell me yh that nearly all police seargents are masons. As though he checked and its absolutely true

  2. I wish we had someone with New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s intelligence and leadership skills managing the US coronavirus response. Instead, we have Trump.

  3. “I feel so good about this drug, I even have shares of stock in the company that makes it …….. OOPS!. I didn’t say that. FAKE NEWS FAKE NEWS!”

    1. @Dan Wilson *since you think am lying… it will be easy for you to prove i am wrong… so you prove that i am wrong*

    2. Paul that’s what is so sad about trump and people like you, I don’t have to prove your moronic statements. You made the statement, now back it up or shut up. If you have no proof admit it, because I don’t think you can back your statement up.

    3. Dan Wilson let me give you the brake down
      He has a company manage his money
      They invested a portion of it in to a small share of a mutual fund
      A small part of said fund is a company that produced the drug back in the 80s.
      The kicker is that it doesn’t matter since the patent ran out years ago and anyone can produce it.

    1. @Intelligent Design Most non believers will use religion as a tool, then use science as a weapon… that’s mind boggling

    1. Chronic. Liar? How about the democratic chronic. Ignoramce? . Face it. Hes done a great job considering the info was late arriving and attacks by the dem press and liberal weaselship

    2. Bright and Fauci are a pair of paper-pushing doctors who have no conception of saving lives tonight without waiting for the study results.

    3. Angel Rivers AMEN ! Trump knew about this Pandemic back in 2015 and 2018. Bill Gates warned him, did he listen? No! Did Trump warm us Americans ? No ! He knew in advance , and, did absolutely 0
      Then, he calls it a HOAX …. Some HOAX …..

  4. I think Fox News should be shut down forever, they all have blood on their hands. How much of it is on your hands?

    1. @Braves Nation Actually he did not he complained about the stimulus spending Obama did, it was the previous administration that set the table for the recovery. All indicators were improving when he came into office and they continued to go up, trump claimed credit for what he did not do. He did cause a small bump up in the stock market 87% owned by the wealthy. Then set about undermining the poor and tax cats for the rich. His leadership if you can call it that has utterly failed at the first problem. How much has he lied so far in this disaster and failed bail out spending ??? 15 people which will reduce to zero and just go away – how’s that looking ???

      So…. Well here we are in 2020 how’s the winning going. The economy set in motion by previous administrations recovery plan and the complained about stimulus spending. Current stimulus has shown to be ineffective, not getting to those who need it but lining the pockets of the wealthy again, while Trump has so greatly contributed to the American deaths now exceeding Vietnam War. Brilliant, win win win LOL

  5. I wonder if Dr Fauci laughed like that when he heard trump spouting that wind turbines gave you cancer?

    1. ponyboyuk01 : No. Dr Fauci is a kind and compassionate human being, he must lose sleep trying to do more to contain the epidemic, and Trump is really sucking up this brave man’s energy in spouting lies that Dr Fauci must correct every day, all the while trying to stay diplomatic in order to be heard and not fired.

    2. @Myriam Ickx What a nightmare for Dr Fauci. I pity him so much. I’m sure he can afford to retire, and wants to! He can barely speak with his throat so raw from talking constantly. And now he’s getting death threats from Trump’s followers! But the poor guy is so dedicated that he feels obligated to see this through. If only he didn’t have to spend all day every day trying to correct the wrong information Trump puts out! I just hope he doesn’t get sick and does have a chance to enjoy retirement afterwards.

    1. just watch CNN and they’ll re-spin all his words for you! Rachel Maddox wants him off the air so they can re-write all his words…when she said their was no navy ship in NY harbor b/c trump lied, that lie could go unchecked and believed by the sheep..it was great watching him show the media calling him a racist jan 30 for stopping china travel n then saying he didn’t do anything while CNN was actually the one saying the threat was exaturated…CNN blacked it out to hid they (factually) said what they claimed trump said, lol…or when Biden said he got the judge fired or he’d hold the billion dollars back as quid-pro-quo for investigating his son, all while they were trying to find trump guilty and ignoring biden’s world news live confession to exactly what they couldn’t prove about trump…yeah both your brain cells probably have a lot of issues!

    2. Steven Shepherd is 33,000 missing emails a lie? Is a billion to Iran with NO VOTES a lie? That’s why we’ll win again. Emotions n favoritism has turned enough stomachs to keep trump there.

  6. Delusional trump only cares about his reelection to open the country, NOT saving lives. Spreading dangerous lies to build the Republicans reelection for trump. Vote them out ASAP.

    1. @Loius Kruglick I support President Trump completely and I have been working every day and the people I work with have not missed a single day .We are construction workers and everyone says they love him . We choose not to live in fear. GOD is in control. Falts. Evidence. Appearing. Real I know the virus is real and l fell for the families of those who have lost loved ones . But the left blames everything that happens on the president to tell the truth most of us on the right don’t pay attention to what you libs have to say .

    2. @D B their not undocumented immigrants their illegal aliens an undocumented immigrant is someone who entered the country legally but didn’t have any paperwork done on them when they entered.

    3. @J Moore You are so right about 6,000,000 plus sents row v wade. Obama gave billions of our tax dollars to planned parenthood to further that murdering case.GOD says that he knew us before he placed us in our mother’s womb and that he new the plans that he has for us.

  7. TRUMP TO RUN THIS COUNTRY LIKE A BUSINESS.

    BUT HOW MANY TIMES DID HE FILE FOR BANKRUPTCY WITH HIS BUSINESS.

    HILARIOUS.

    1. @Rabbit as far as trump haters . When you recieve your 1200 stimulus check just cut it up and throw it in the trash. I know you dont want ANYTHING to do w his bribes

    2. That is funny. Again we all know hes practically only person to ever file for bankruptcy.its the amwrican way

  8. When does gross incompetence and willful ignorance become manslaughter? The blood of nearly 20,000 Americans is on Trump’s hands!!!

    1. @J Moore we don’t have a god in N.Z. we have a govt that allows each person to make a choice. Your god makes peoples choice for them.

    2. @Jeff Gibson what 56,000 people dead from covid19, and are you defending your presidents decisions??

  9. I always imagined that the American nation was a highly educated nation but in the last 4 years I have become so disappointed!

    1. Jeff Gibson That’s interesting, I always thought it was late 70s Reagan and conservative policies did it. I shall do some digging, thanks.

    2. @Jeff Gibson again thank you for understanding I am grief stricken and in a state of shock from Covid-19 deaths in my circles including 2 relatives both last weekend. I came to YouTube as an outlet for discussions that were too difficult in my circles. Some there have a hair trigger as people do in general but I wanted to be sensitive to their losses. I did not come here to seek you out so that I could slander you. I am glad you have no personal loss from loss from this pandemic. I hope this remains true for you. Goodwill and good health to you and yours.

    3. @Jeff Gibson and I believed when you said that I was trying to invent a catastrophe that did not exist that you believed I did not know anyone with Covid…I thought that you meant Covid did not exist. My bad. I did not realize that you were calling me a liar. 25 in my circles means family, friends, and family of friends that most I have known from childhood although many have spread across the country. If you have a cure for Covid then you are the ONLY ONE in the entire world as no one else does. Some treatments look promising but research is still be done. This is a new virus with strains so for the rest of the world we are still playing catch-up with our science. And yes, a few of those numbers in my circles were in NY but not my family. Cuomo is fighting for New Yorkers, not denying treatment. I applaud his leadership efforts. I cannot do the same for our Pres who could have at anytime starting listening to expert advisors and stopped making the Pandemic media coverage his horse and pony show about himself. Our nation needed pandemic response and centralized coordination and leadership. Pres Trump just can’t seem to learn.

    1. Well then rally ypur liberal lawmakers to outlaw fox news or the fcc. So you only hear what you wanna hear from media .

  10. in a closed meeting Donny said “can’t we just let this wash over America” when speaking of the virus… Fauci replied with ” people will die” ..its time to remove these asswipes by any means necessary… stay livid people .. don’t forget what and who got us here.

    1. @Jeff Gibson haha. I just would hope this life and death issue could stay un political . But many democrats are going insane w their revisionist history. Hating PRESIDENT TRUMP so much they are blind

    2. @Jeff Gibson ill miss piglosi and her 24000 dollar freezer and 12 stocked ice cream stories. Shes quite genious

    3. @D B yes, thats why he was so lare to respond and is encouraging protesters to “open the state back up” while cases and deaths climb daily… please get a brain before you post on the internet again

  11. He is digging his own crave by his usual egotistical lies. Lock him in a room full of of sick patients, he will cry.

    1. Angelica Jordan Zamorano
      Trump shut down travel to and from China within 10days of this virus becoming known about. He was called racist on news media like this and the WHO said he didn’t need to shut down the borders at that stage even though The Chinese had been travelling around the world for a month and a half by this time.

      They are using chlorophyine in cases where people are in danger of dying. It has helped some but doesn’t help all. Donald Trump said in that video they showed, “It’s a promising drug, “IT MAY OR MAY NOT WORK”.
      Go back and look at that video of Pres Trump. He says clearly “ It may or not work”. That is not misinformation.

    2. A very clever factual statement . See opinions arent fact . So many think their opinions are fact. Either beinh narcissistic and or arrogant or someone told them that . Analytical thought IS DEAD

    3. Lock him in a room full of sick patients and he will cure them all with the cocktail. Every time you dems think you’ve got him, it turns out he was right all the time. You should have learned by now.

  12. Please someone start a class action lawsuit against everyone who consistently gave bad advice or potentially dangerous advice. Please do it ASAP.

    1. You’d better sue those four democrat Governors who banned Hydroxychloroquine in their states. Gov. Cuomo might have saved 10,000 lives if they had used it immediately.

    2. @Jeff Gibson latest results showing almost double the death rate if they use Hydroxychloroquine which is not a surprise if you know the drug. It also kills a lot of Malaria patients, but Malaria is so bad it’s worth the risk

    1. You have to be specific if your accusation has any truth to it. Which state of 50 states is sending corrupted numbers to the US sec. of state?

  13. tRump: I’m the best-est there ever was, ever will be. I’m FANTASTIC TREMENDOUS AND VERY VERY GOOD., People are saying that. And if u don’t praise me & agree with me, your a nasty person, & YOU’RE FIRED.

    1. can you spell genocide? Cause if you take away all the talk..and look..herd immunity is what Usa is doing…New science says that once the second wave goes thru, maybe 60% of the planet will be affected..or dead. Usa is leading this, by accident? Maybe?

    1. @Howdositfeel Vfusion i feel some kind of unity would be good for the country and pur people. But im wrong. There can be no unity w so much hatred. I m giving up. . My vote will go to the obvious winner . That will be my statement . Not this bickering

    2. @D B once again I respect your opinion. and this is not bickering we are having an intellectual conversation. it’s not hatred towards Trump, it’s hatred on his incompetence to be able to run this country. He does not have the political experience Northern common sense. He calls himself a businessman when many of his businesses have been bankrupt many times. But once again thank you for your time have yourself a great day and God bless.

    3. @Howdositfeel Vfusion i do appreciate that. I feel ive been nearly singlehsndedly tried to defend president trump, not because im a huge fan , i wasnt until i saw the constant attacks. I feel its wrong to bash any president so much. Im not stupid. I have strong loyalties . But im tired. All im gonna do is try to promote unity and vote. For him. If im naive so be it. But at least i can say i am true to my convictions.
