    1. @niecers I checked it the people who are part of the electorate are Americans they also voted for trump

    2. @Lilli L’amour I’m not being negative here I to was surprised by trumps win especially over a woman who can only love but the American institutions choice for trump to represent us

    3. @Dondatta Ford That’s not how our democracy works. He is a minority President who won on a technicality.

    4. @rim abdelali Americans always had an identity issue whose a real American you see them with the American flag they even waving them in government offices offices yet some of them dont know what it means to be an American

    1. @Noiseless Sounds projectile vomited: _”Trump is going to die before Obama will hahahahahha”_
      If they declare martial law in the US, I can assure you the opposite will be the case.

    1. @Xavier Robloxking Amazing how ignorant DemocRATS are.DemocRATS are the racists, look at your history. DimRATS founded KKK, passed Jim Crow, the ones that lynched, DimRATS turned fire hoses, sicked dogs on blacks. You must be proud to be a DimRAT.

    2. @Okkie Trooy nah you fine, i read your comment wrong, my bad and i agree with everything you said as would the majority of us

  1. Well one thing for sure. He’s the reason we’re in this mess. So sure won’t take his word on anything.

    1. Should’ve gotten WHO test like the rest of the world! He must be prosecuted for crimes against humanity for this. But who will police the world’s policeman?

    1. @George Layton I have actually been calling him President L. Ron Hubbard for a few months now. It seems to get the point across, although they just get defensive.

    2. @Matthew Sigurdson Do I take it that LITERALLY EVERY single government and public health apparatus on the planet is over-reacting? With the possible exceptions of the US, and maybe Brazil, that is…

      I’d love to see your data backing this up. I’ve noticed that even Limbaugh has given up the “it’s just the flu” narrative, for the most part. You must have access to some really hard-to-get information.

      When can we expect a press briefing laying out all your findings, from Dr. Matthew Sigurdson, M.D.?

    3. @Mad Phyn well literally nkt every health professional because I know a doctor ehom has been dealing with cases of it and he says that very few have bad symptoms and the ones that died had compromised immune systems that would have most likely died from the flu/cold.

    4. @Matthew Sigurdson In large part, that is in line with what the entire medical community has been saying. We knew all of that already.

      However, this virus is far more dangerous than the flu, for several reasons. A mortality rate of 1-3% is quite alarming. It is also more transmissible than the flu, has a longer incubation which makes it easier to spread and harder to track, we have no immunity and are not experienced at making vaccines for this kind of virus, and it may even cause permanent lung damage.

      There are actually two strains floating around, one of which is less deadly and virulent. Maybe your doctor friend has only been dealing with that strain in your area. It still has at least a .5-1% mortality though, which is several times deadlier than the flu.

    5. @Americano They need help now, why are you backtracking back to 2015? They need help and the president should support him instead of crying that Cuomo is not being nice to him. PEOPLE ARE DYING

  2. I almost get the feeling that in his mind, if 3 million blue state city folks are dead he could win the popular vote.

    1. Exactly; he can’t see a downside for himself. Worst, most dangerous president in modern history, he makes GWBush seem uber competent by comparison.

    2. Just based on the warped way you people think, I would say this would be a net positive for the country/world. Real talk.

    1. @jade He’s against abortions ! So that leaves us with a big ? mark.. What he’s for or against, he’s NOT FIT FOR OFFICE

    1. Donna Bellinger Ryan And to think I voted for him !!! I’m so ashamed !!! ❤️❤️❤️😔😔😔😢😢😢

  3. People are expecting Trump to suddenly be something he has never shown himself to be: an intelligent, informed leader. He can’t sue COVID 19 so he’s all out of moves

  4. Trump is using the supply of ventilators as a “currency” for people to worship him.
    He has done this ALL HIS LIFE one way or another….
    Sad pathetic soul

    1. @Mike Cooper Sounds exactly like a dictator. He must be learning from his dictator friends like Kim and Putin. Demonize the media: check. Demand praise: check. Deflect blame onto others: check.

    2. PU – sad yes, pathetic agreed, soul hmmmm i shall have to respectfully disagree with you. I think he has sold his soul some time ago.

    3. What he wants is those governors to beg him non- stop and sing praises like you said. Trump has obviously missed out on love, affection, hugs and attention as a child from his evil momma.

    4. A very good description. I watched the “documentary “ on his plane. He came across as a angry lonely old man

  5. I feel for you Americans. Just so you know Delusional Donnie does NOT know what a ventilator is. I think he is thinking of power generator

    1. Donnie Drumpf: “I don’t see why they need so many special ventilators. They could just open a few windows.”

  6. It’s terrible that these doctors AND governors are actually having to beg this incompetent moron! 🤬

    1. cuomo should have purchased those 15,000 ventilators as warned by previous admin in 2015. But instead he opted to spend money on NY lottery. stop blaming trump when you dont have any facts.

    2. Notta Libhead…I’m tired of people like you. Stop playing the stupid blame game like trump…facts are facts.

    1. And when he’s president again you’ll sit there and complain what happened to our facade democracy.

  7. “Profit before lives”…He should be charged with crimes against humanity by the United Nations. As should Mitch McConnell.

  8. I’m so proud and happy of this comment section. I see many that are actually smart enough to know how big of a loser Trump is

  9. Well…America wanted a reality show host for a president….we got it. And now all of us are participating contestants in Survivor.

  10. Collect the data: how many people had to die due to lack of necessary equipment ; then use that data to indict and prosecute that imbecile-in-chief 😣

  11. “In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”
    – Martin Luther King, Jr.

    1. Black people have no friends in amerikkka.. Mlk led the moors into a burning house referred to as integration.. Also 51% of white women and 66% of white males voted for an openly racist mysoginistic fool. Rest easy in the bed yall made. This is prophecy
