    1. Trump 2Q2Q The Library Awww is a wittle maga moron sad?? You have to result to attacks rather than intellectually debating us? Prove us wrong. How’s your orange dictator not a sociopath? And don’t shift the blame to somebody else.

    2. @Trump 2Q2Q The Library Religion is a social construct to control people. One would think ‘rules don’t apply to ME!!’ Trump supporters would know this 🤷‍♀️

    1. Also he questions the whole concept of testing. Bcs you may test negative today but you test positive in next day!!! 🤔😁😂😂😂😂

    2. It is the “Ostrich Theory”. Stick your head in the sand til the danger goes away. Good luck down there. Stay safe no matter what Trumpty Dumpty does to bungle this mess even more.

    1. @Pretty Young Thing PYT Hatred of trump is all the motivation the majority of this country needs. It will be a landslide.

    2. @Lisa King There is no positive spin to an epidemic sweety. Have you not been listening to ANYTHING I’ve been telling you? You see…..you just sound like the typical kind of people that wants something done, an answer, a solution, a cure, etc. right on the spot when there isn’t ONE. Sorry dear….an epidemic takes time to tackle…..you’re just gonna have to WAIT for a cure, solution, answer, potion, etc. just like the rest of us.

    3. @Milton R Sure…..you can even get that feeling before you meet someone. Always trust your gut instinct.

  1. If a trump supporter and himself were drowning and there were two life jackets. He would take both of them.

    1. @Jan Sonshine
      Nothing
      Over a thousand people per day is dying from the virus and trump have his idiotic, unprotected supporters out protesting.
      Trump is sacrificing his own voters just to make his poll numbers go up.

    2. I hope you throw you DNC members in the same boat. Pelosi and other people you guys enjoy turning blind eye.

  2. The tragedy of America under trump simply becomes too much to understand… he is indeed, a man without a soul…you mean nothing to him.

    1. @solrart The Senate cowards allowed him to walk from crimes against our Constitution during the first impeachment. Now, he thinks he get get away with anything. The guy is unhinged, especially if he thinks he is going down. I would not put anything past him. There is a reason why they select right wing judges.

    2. @gabriela sanchez As much as I feel sorry for you and your Son for his truly, truly unfortunate illness, but to Trump, you, and your Son, are just another figure on the chart. A number in the statistics. This man doesn’t see you as human, but as a statistic and thus feels absolutely nothing to your plight.

    1. What trips me out more is when his lower and middle class followers actually believe he cares about them.

    2. @Saddest News Because I think his supporters doesn’t want to believe the truth. They believed his lies and people around the world knows what Trump have done today. Doing nothing about the warning, playing Twitter #ObamaGate, Rally with his supports etc which is not important now. A real leader knows to run it’s countries much much more better than him.

  3. Trump and republicans Don’t care if people Die . Something’s are more important than money. LIFE people

    1. A real leader is someone who knows to protect his country and don’t look to blame others at all and they know how to lead at 100%. But Trump himself has keep sending #ObamaGate always nonstop and don’t care about the deaths as well. I predict myself that US will soon has 100K deaths in less than a week from now. USA needs to wake up and start replacing it’s government with a much more proper government. See Croatia, Germany, Norway, Denmark etc. Their leaders know how to lead exactly far times better than Trump.

    1. Putin certainly got his money’s worth. His asset, Trump, has done more damage to our society and government than if the Russians had won a shooting war.

    1. Money is only a marker to make up for what’s missing, which is affection for anyone including himself.

    2. Why does he need more money?? Isn’t he a multi-jillionnaire already??
      What’s he gonna do with all that money?? Buy all the countries in the world?? smh

    3. Yup. His hotels are closed. He’s losing money everyday. All he can think about is his investments, not people. What a jerk.

    1. Unfortunately I don’t think many people understand just how seriously dangerous a psychopath is and by the time they do its to late, they’ve become a victim. I know through personal experience from someone in my own family and I was the victim.

  4. “Trump has no conscience.” Where does that position the GOP? Neither Trump nor the GOP can govern.

    1. @Mary Brady What war has Trump started or esulated. Obummer is the father of ISIS remember.

    2. Never has the 25th amendment been more needed. Trump obviously…..& Pence needs ousted as well, both for Crimes Against Humanity!

  5. The only thing that gets to him is that all the deaths make him look bad. That’s it. He has just enough self awareness to understand that, and not enough self motivation to do anything productive about it.

    1. Bruce Wayne Hey Batman….Why don’t you fly back to your Bat Cave…Your clearly in the Dark….Between you & the Orange One you couldn’t melt an Ice Cube!

    2. I wish someone would have told him how bad he would look when they told him about it in late December. Maybe fewer people would have died, and we would be farther ahead in battling this killer virus

  6. I will say this again: trump does not care if 500,000 Americans die as long as he wins this election! he is willing to sacrifice lives to win 100%

    1. @hedunlap Democrats are death? We see that Trump supporter even dies. Chelsea Clinton tells the truth about her relatives died and she said that the relative voted for Trump. So it made me clear that some Trump supporters has died. You Trump supporters are liar of this world. We know and we found this evidence from a real people, not Trump and his supporters.

    2. @Marcos Juarez Yes. He is on Twitter but tweet to do nothing to protect it’s citizens and will welcome 100,000 deaths in few days – now 90,000 people dies from his failure. Not only him, but so does Johnson, Bolsonaro, Putin and other right-wing leaders.

    3. Football Nerd not really, at least half the reason is people’s pure stupidity. Going outside and not wearing masks because it’s a CoNsPiRiCy

  7. The GOP is just as guilty, most all of them are going along with it that makes them just as DANGEROUS !

    1. grow forit desperate comrades from chit hole Russia cant save poor Puppet this time.

      😢🖕🇺🇸

  8. This is what i’ve been saying since day one. HE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING OR ANYONE BUT HIMSELF. Period.

  9. “If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed … and we will deserve it” ~ Lindsey Graham

    1. @The man Yes. Feeling sad that America is heading down now. Praying for the people who have lost in this tragedy because the government of this country has failed especially Trump.

    2. Famous last words before the curtain falls. We are ranked DEAD LAST. Whole world did better than us. Boy I sure miss Barack Obama…

    3. Roger Dodger because he realized all the abhorrent policies Republicans believe in he can get through trump. Trump only wants power and all that comes with it!

  10. Remember hurricane Maria? He didn’t care about the deaths then, he isn’t going to change in just a few short years.

    1. Yeah like Obama and Hillary! Don’t worry they are really close to paying for their crimes👍

    2. The dying Trumpublican domestic terrorist party proves they believe a LYING SOCIOPATH makes great presidential material!
