  1. True patriotism has nothing to do with wearing a red hat, or hugging the flag. Those are all things you can teach a mon*key to do. True patriotism is about service, sacrifice, and last but not least, caring about what happens to your fellow American citizen.
    Semper Fi…

    In 2020, let’s make MORALS and ETHICS great again!!!
    Let’s make DECENCY great again!!!
    Let’s make FACTS great again!!! 
    Lets make the TRUTH great again!!!
    Vote 💙

    1. There are a whole lot of politicians that need to go. Also a whole lot of CEOs that need to go. We need to boycott products and stocks from amoral corporations who hire amoral CEOs.

    2. I believe better times are on the horizon. We just have to get over the hump. I might not be here to see it, but they are coming. I pray that this “disaster” brings us together in ways we never imagined. Peace to all.

  2. Trump: “We’re currently looking at a new experimental drug to fight the coronavirus called Icy-Hot. I believe it’s a cream that’s applied to the infected area. We’ve tested this new drug extensively at (TUMC) Trump University Medical Center.  Now some people say it feels icy, and some people say it feels hot, I believe there are fine people on both sides of the debate. So I said, why don’t we just call it “Icy-hot” My gut tells me that it will work, and my bowels have never let me down. I have tremendous bowels by the way.  So maybe it will work , maybe it won’t. Nobody really knows. So we’ll see what happens.”

  3. I’m no expert here, but 6 or 7 months would be past April right? 🤔 This Mayor apparently hasn’t been told that in April, all of this is going away when the miracle arrives. 😆

    1. Do not use the word miracle. The virus, goes away, when they feel, that everyone is feeling the pain. . . .

    2. Alejandro Alba You didn’t get it. Trump is the nod who said this would be over by April. The commenter was mocking what Trump previously claimed.

    1. If you are waiting for Trump to grow into his role as Commander In Chief it is never going to happen; he is terminally narcissistic and his cult has made him much more vile.

    2. Yes, the HATRED has come out of the deranged liberal democrats with their insane “TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME” and they will never recover from this! Their reputation has overwhelmingly destroyed their party…they are done!!!!!

    3. @Mainely who is vile is the hateful, corrupt, brainwashed, propagandists aka the liberal democrats! Yes we will eliminate them from our political system to save our country, and the swamp will be cleaned out and the sludge at the bottem will finally be removed!

  4. At this point in time, I don’t think The president is a necessary job, so tell Trump to go home. He just blabber on and on about nothing.

    1. @C. Arnold a wise leader seeks ths Council of many. Any good President has the advice of those around him. No sane leader ever made any decision without others helping him.

    2. @Douglas Lowe Obviously it’s affecting people in so many ways but it was created to incite fear… tell me how a virus out of Wuhan will appear in the 2020 and will vanish and reappear again in 10years…was written in a book years ago and look at us now. And they give us hints in their books, sometimes in movies… I say that to say this: who ever controls these events is really really powerful and found ways to keep us preoccupied with work, work, work, entertainment, soap operas n so on. That when tragedy sticks we lose our minds and believe everything the media tells us. I think it’s the time to love one another and to look out for the poor and less fortunate, the enemy of men maybe messing with our minds but we ought to remain calm cause God is in control just believe in Him and stop relying on the news media cause they work for our enemy. Hope you’ll understand.

    3. You left leaning lemmings will have your antichrist leader over you soon enough. God has seen fit to give our nation which is it’s people a reprieve from being undermined at every turn possible, definitely that previous administration:fast & furious, Benghazi, IRS scandal – operated like gangsters for years…and more. So, give it a rest.

  5. Would it not be grand to have a POTUS who speaks to this crisis as well as governors and mayors haveT

    1. Wouldnt it be grand to have no propabanda, no Lies, No Deep State, No New World Order,
      No Corruption….this would be possible without the liberal democratic party!

    2. That’s why Trump was elected you half wit.
      People were sick and tired of the normal slimy politicians. Aka Hillary. A woman without an honest or genuine bone in her body.

  6. This is how a real leader takes care of business. No lies, bs, finger pointing or plain acting like a clueless moron who just discovered the earth isn’t flat or the moon isn’t made of green cheese.

    1. @tRUMP is STUPID and FAT And UGLY oh so you’re a fat lesbian feminist that hates the world. Do your research ahole…. Your ignorance is disgusting.

    2. @tRUMP is STUPID and FAT And UGLY you voted for that enemy of the people Iilan Omar didn’t you. Because you’re so woke

    3. @Douglas Reed Why are you so angry? Your guy is in the White House. Seriously why the anger? I’m happily married and not fat or ugly. I’ve been skinny my entire life and my husband of 6 years is a doctor and very handsome. I own several of Trump’s books and if you don’t believe me the last one I bought is ” Why we want you to be rich” tell me a page to recite and I will. I voted straight Republican in 2016 and didn’t vote in 2018. You see dear sir, politicians are pimps, and I have zero respect for any politician. That’s why I didn’t vote in 2018 and will not vote this year. My husband is an orthopedic surgeon and a lifelong Republican as are our friends and family. They don’t know how disappointed I am in Trump because I don’t want it to be taken out on my husband hence my moniker which nobody knows of.

    4. @tRUMP is STUPID and FAT And UGLY I am a results oriented self sufficient citizen that believes there’s a balance between self sufficiency and a hand up. Republicans and Democrats have proved to be unworthy of this country. They are self serving and loathsome of the American people. I didn’t vote for Trump but I sure do approve what he’s done for this country. Trump’s America first agenda and 90% of what he has done is exactly what I see as correct. He is not a statesman and he can be an ahole…. But he’s our ahole and he is fighting for us. I despise Obama but I always hoped for the best and respected the office….what the left has done to the invite the anger and unfairness I feel is disgusting. Trump has pulled back the curtain and the Rhinos, Democrats and media are so clearly seen for what they are. Like him or not….he’s what we need right now. Since sides have to be taken I choose the side of President Trump and America first.

    5. @Douglas Reed There we go, now we’re having an appropriate conversation. I respect your right as an American citizen to vote for who you want, it’s what brave men and some women died for. I’m very disappointed in politicians because they do what’s best for their reelection and bank account. I wonder how many on both sides of the aisle have offshore accounts, I think it’s many. It is in their best interests to keep us divided. I’m sure you are a decent guy like my family members are, who love Trump. I want Trump to succeed but to do that he needs to remember he is president of all of us. We are not having kids until student loans are paid off and the future generations are what I’m most worried about, my future kids future. The EPA is now allowing polluting to happen because of coronavirus and there will be no fines. Open toxic pits that scare off migrating birds will not be required to do so anymore and millions will die. We take our waters seriously here and hope it doesn’t happen to Minnesota at least.

    1. Trump didn’t expect to win but he did due to obvious influences. But the reality? This is a world crisis and the man went straight to pieces. Rhetoric doesn’t save lives of American citizens – actions do. He’s taken next to none that wasn’t written up for him. The 45 is a greedy figurehead.

    2. Jim Alley cats are very intelligent about life. We’d be so much better off with your rescued kitten leading us by example. 😻😻😻

    3. crazybongo5 Influences.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
      Hillary Clinton didn’t have the whole media on her side tipping the scales.
      Jeb Bush didn’t have any influences seeing as how two of his family had already been president.
      God the provable idiocy is just amazing.

    1. ​@Jason Kendrick Believe me when I think of UPS and FED EX employees out there at a time like this you guys are on the frontlines, all of you are essential at this time. So we are so grateful for what you do none of us take everyone who is out there for granted, I know I am not alone in saying this! Please please stay safe out there!!

  7. It’s sad to see these guys desperately undoing Trump’s folly, indifference, obsession in his own image and recklessness in calling Covid-19 a hoax and inaction for 3 months.

  8. It’s time to start talking a bit about those of us that think we might have caught it, never got a test, and now believe we are well.

    1. @Chris Ducat It does, but antibody tests are only coming out now (first test tested for the virus proper).
      This will soon be crucial if you want to ramp up everyday life again. Not an immediate priority, but eventually will have to be done.

    2. Chris Ducat First, there is absolutely no need to call anybody “ignorant” or any other derogatory name. You don’t need to name call to make your point..

      Second, at this point, we are so far behind in testing that I doubt it is possible to catch up on testing of those who may have had the virus but are now recovered for the sake of more accurate statistics.

      Unfortunately, because the federal government wasn’t prepared. to test the masses, all medical resources at this point are overtaxed just trying to take care of the here and now. Figuring out who may have had the virus already but are now ok is far down the list of priorities at this point. Yes, I acknowledged that having accurate statistics is important ideally, but we are too far behind in testing to get accurate statistics retroactively. We still don’t have the testing capabilities to do testing at this point in time to determine accurate statistics in the here and now. While the number of reported deaths due to this virus is an accurate number, the reported number of cases of those infected is not remotely accurate and we have no way of knowing how many in the population have actually been infected and where they all are located because only an extremely small segment of the population has been tested to date. So, the scenario of what may be ideal informationally is a scenario that is long gone as a possibility. All that can be done for someone who thinks they may have had the virus but is ok now is to stay home from this point on as several commenters noted.

      Even if someone who thought they had the virus wanted to get tested to determine whether they actually had the it, they would not be able to get tested at this point in time. So, given the reality of the current situation, I don’t believe the comment you characterized as “ignorant” is ignorant at all.

    3. Chris Ducat there is no way to test after the fact. That is 100% FACT. Until they figure out how to test after the fact then there is nothing to do. I was sick with all the symptoms about 2 weeks before it got serious. Went to the dr 3 times. Got tested for the flu. It was negative. Not once did they want to do corvid testing. I wasn’t critical. I’m not a Selfish person so i stayed home for a week. Once I felt better I still wore an n95 mask. I did the responsible thing and tried to limit my interactions. My cough was so dry and hard that I was passing out from coughing so much. I’m better now. My mother in law is a nurse that is working directly with confirmed covid 19 patients. From what she’s seen she’s says she’s 99.9% sure I had it. What can I do about it now? So Stop acting like you know enough to call me ignorant.

  9. Wow – its weird, but a refreshing and welcomed change to listen to a leader who cares about people, and can speak in complete sentences like an adult..

    1. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
      Cares about people.
      Just not small business owners.
      Or their employees.
      Just not the tax payers.
      Cares about people.🤣🤣🤣🤣

  10. That is what a LEADER IS! Hope my local mayor and governor are taking notes!!!

    Stepping up to the challenge is what REAL PATRIOTS DO!!!

    They don’t pass blame or scapegoat!

    They TAKE the RESPONSIBILITY entrusted to them!!!

    1. Can we comvert leftist women into anything good?
      Yup.
      Here’s the top 3…
      1 – Dogfood.
      2 – Isis brides.
      3 – Wormmeat.

    2. @Johnnyland Search and Rescue Its really unbelievable that you are that STUPID! or maybe just incredibly ignorant. Then again you probably wouldn’t know the difference

    3. All hotels near hospitals should be having beds used. And then they should be paid the same rate the hospital charges for a room by the federal government. Helps the quickly dying hotel industry with travel down 80% with out a bailout, provides individual rooms to quarentine patients, provides the surplus of beds hospitals are lacking.
      Then call in your state reserve units for medical staffing and open volunteer options for medical trained persons.

    1. L B It is laughable that you try to paint liberals as liars when the Republican in the White House can’t even tell the truth about the time of day. “We only have 15 cases of this virus and they are all getting better and soon this will all just go away”. How’s that got truth. Not.

      Or, “I don’t want those people off that ship because so don’t want my numbers to go up”.

      Or “We have a vaccine ready to go”

      I could go on forever with just the lies coming from the White Hoyse in the last 3 weeks.

    1. The carriers are those morons who listen to right wing propaganda, they think because they are not showing symptoms they are not carriers; wrong.

    2. Mainely talking about my distaste for elders, who travel during winter months and return to the north in spring. I could give a duck about political affiliation

  11. Lol. Dump would have said “I was first. I did it before anyone else. I am the best. He copied me”. What a difference a real leader makes!
