Mara Gay: Trump's COVID-19 Failure Is 'Literally Killing Americans' | The 11th Hour | MSNBC

  1. Trump and his cult are adamantly, willfully, and often venomously ignorant of facts and the truth, because the truth offends them. They are hard-wired into this obstinacy, to the point of pathological obsession. This level of gross ignorance poses a threat to any nation.

    1. @Hoanglong Le How did the state governments fare in containment ? Are these not responsible for everything that did not go well ?

    2. @A Z lol. No. See the rest of the world thats surpressed the virus are returning to a new normal and can do things like travel for leisure. WE dont have out of control outbreaks all over our countrys…

    3. @Noreb These new outbreaks are caused by people who are still unconcerned about their own safety or that of others.

    1. @T Fox Its an airborne virus…. Air has no nationality. It’s not Chinese it’s part of biology of our world. You know one we share with China. No one is blaming him for the virus but for his incompetence and his hatred for anyone who questions his actions. We’re flailing in our response due solely to his failures. The racist part is his own doing. Altogether a different fire issue with this admin. Don’t get it twisted and deflect to more incriminating topics. He showed us his colors as you do defending him. Shame on you.

    2. @Pensa Simpson Don’t worry everyone knows it…. But the man conning America should go down first! Trump is guilty of yet much worse crime against his own countrymen. Then we need to look at his enablers.

    3. @MechanicalValve TimeTraveler You were feeding a Troll. Of course you were right but they don’t care.

    4. @T Fox – Trump’s China travel “ban” wasn’t a ban at all. It only prohibited NON-U.S Citizens from travelling and then, only those who were not immediate family of U.S. Citizens. Shortly after, it became public knowledge that around 40,000 people poured back in to the U.S. Trump didn’t even restrict travel from a lot of infected countries in Europe until later then that, and that restriction didn’t even include the U.K. (includes many large, major countries). The restrictions on the U.K. came even later. You’re just making excuses for Trump’s bad decisions – people screaming racists and whatever – laughable…like Trump.

    5. @mr ady and mim yay – Procedures for dealing with pandemics are nothing new – Trump just failed to be prepared and to respond. The countries that have gotten it under control have done so because they had a national response led by good, smart leaders with the right people and systems in place to deal with national health emergencies. Trump doesn’t care anything about that – you know, helping people and keeping them safe.

  2. Trump is intentionally killing Americans with his rallies… his OWN supporters are going to die, but he doesn’t care.

    1. Yeah, that makes perfect sense. Trump is intentionally killing his supporters that come to his rallies. He must want to make the election really close so he is killing off a lot of his own voters. Your total lack of critical thinking skills is indicative of everyone on the left. All they have is raw hatred and emotion. No logical arguments to be found.

    1. @I call How see it …but but but, obama, but Powell, but Gen Mattis, but BLM, but schiff, but science & scientists, but MSM, but McCain, but CNN, but CHINA, but pelosi, but cuomo, but ABC, but the house, but california, but governors, but biden, but michigan, but coronavirus, but NBC, but WHO, but john kerry, but Clintons (both bill & hillary), but the mexicans, but schumer, butt stormy daniels , but CBS, but ginsburg, but NY times, but the protesters, but but but

      SHUT THE BUT UP. NO MORE EXCUSES for *45 & his co-defendant, accomplice , enablers !

    2. @Adam P
      Mexico’s President Andrés Obrador:
      We’re going to build a great great Wall… and America will pay for it! lol

    3. I do think there should be a national memorial and something about the price of this poor governance was the lives of these cherished citizens.

    1. @I call How see it Justice is Coming for Trump and the GOP! Nothing you or your dumb as a rock compatriots can do to stop it!

    2. @Sean Concannon you tried that once in the impeachment process how did that work out for you .

    3. @Sean Concannon and you know what’s funny about this whole thing is as you guys, are still trying to get Trump out of office you blame everything on him and he still in office lol.

  3. Legally speaking, Trump has committed “double homicides” of manslaughter. One is Trump’s “negligence” of presidential duties to care for the American people. The other is also Trump’s “negligence” of his duties by ignoring his presidential responsibility in order to force the campaign rallies, thereby willingly and knowingly causing more infections. Even now, he is pushing the country to reopen by letting more people exposed to the infection. He is literally a killer, Legally a manslaughter.

    1. @Mary Rodger That is something I did not know. Would perhaps explain his difficulty reading and his reluctance. I can sympathize with that.

    2. @A Z Of course I don’t know where you are but it’s as Cuomo has stated: “the virus in NY came in through Europe. Have you noticed where the state stands now? I hope so versus Georgia, Florida? It’s interesting.

    3. @Patrick Van Rinsvelt That’s my guess because of the other behavior’s he exhibits. Others think so also and it went unaddressed. Do a search of dyslexia and you’ll see some of the other behaviors listed such as anger for an example. Quite a few think he uses and abuses (sniff sniff) because of other behaviors he displays also.

    4. @A Z I am sure there may be some cases due to the protest, but it was outside and many people wore masks. According to the states that are seeing increases, it was stated they were traced back to Memorial Day weekend, Tulsa rally, and opening up too early.

    1. My kids said the same thing but I told them to hush because I don’t want them to bring bad luck to us wishing him ill.

  4. Trump has turned the United States into the Separate States, running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Some aren’t even running around anymore, they’re just lying there bleeding out. The man’s evil.

    1. @gamewinner Evil is a verb or a noun and in both cases it means profound immorality and wicked. The resultant evil proof is in the pudding. You have to wait for a final result. Not many debaters can do that. Other than that, I think you may be a victim of active measures and aren’t aware of it. It’s contagious and I’ll be god damned if I’m going to catch it from you.

    2. @Burfur Furtown Victim of active measures – LOL – no I am not a victim of active measures. You are a victim of situational ethics. That’s why you can’t tell me whose opinion is the right one or best one and one that would have the final say in a matter. The democrats have brought upon us profound immorality and wickedness of which our country has never seen before. They obviously make up their own ideas of right and wrong. That is the only way they can justify what they do. They call evil good and good evil. You are correct, evil means profound immorality and wickedness. Your problem is you want to be the one who defines what is immoral and wicked. You probably even think inanimate things like a wall are immoral. What this country is suffering is a direct result of the reprobate thoughts and actions of the democrat party and anyone else who embraces what they have come to stand for. I am a registered democrat but the democrats have long since departed from what they once were.

    3. For week ending June 20th CDC reported over 1,000 deaths as Pneumonia.
      Yet Flu season ended in May

      We aren’t getting Real numbers.
      Testing is still behind the need.
      We aren’t getting consistency in reporting.
      And much easier to list Pneumonia then wait days to get a test result, especially if someone has already died.

      And we don’t know the long term, or permanent effects.
      COVID-19 can affect lungs, heart, neurological, kidneys.

      Playing Russian roulette not just with Death, but possibly with one’s Health for the Rest of one’s Life

      Melbourne Australia is beginning fast track saliva testing due to their spike.
      And they go Door to Door to test.

      America is DELIBERATELY behind on Testing!!

      We had been promised rapid testing in all doctors office with just a strip and drop of blood, only 30 minutes for results, and more accurate, by April 30!!

      Trump doesn’t get a swab up his nose Daily.
      Nor wait Days for results.

      All of America has become 2nd class citizens except White House!!

  5. Trump: “Look at all the Americans still alive because of the tremendous job I’m doing. We have the most Americans alive in the whole world. Great job. We’re doing a great job.”

  6. “It’s a hoax, it’s just like the flu, we’ll refill the Churches by Easter, it’s 15 cases soon to be zero.”

    String him up

    1. @L X That would be the nationwide protests, but let’s not talk about facts right?… I mean you only have to look at the official graphs to see that the spike started way before his rally, in line with the start of the protests… Not saying the rally wasn’t pure idiocy BTW, yet it’s a fact that the protests, and not Trump caused the current situation.

  7. The only firing I’m interested in seeing at the moment is the firing of the totally incompetent Donald J. Trump.

    1. One thing is to trust Russia’s numbers, which is incredibly ironic, another is to simply look at how the Russian people, aswell as most Europeans acted…. They followed the guidelines strictly without any BS, and didn’t go mass protesting in the midst of a global pandemic like a bunch of total idiots.. Yes that goes for both the fools against lockdown, and the BLM fools which caused the current massive spikes.

    1. @Nic Gallello we only have 5 deaths by pornhubidvirus wake up this is a control for the galaxy. God dam I hate democraticism.

    2. @Evil Jesus This is to easy you have so little to do in your pathetic life you resort to stuff a 5 year old would do. Keep it up. Go bigger next time….your showing how much of a child you are.

  8. I’m pretty sure that the “Trump Virus” is what all states are calling it since it’s killed so many people. My kids will not be going back to school to possibly get the Trump 🦠

  9. It was born in China, but it grew up in America. It’s Trumps child, his legacy. The Trump Virus of 2020

  10. The USA has handled the pandemic worse than any other country. Worse than Cuba, Vietnam, Japan, Germany , Finland, Australia , Canada, Norway… and it’s entirely due to Twump’s terrible terrible leadership

    1. @Garry Ross Yes, that’s my point. What is it going to take? If people really want to see baseball of football this year, it would be better, safer, and ore prudent to have the games played in Vietnam than in the U.S. It would be safer for Cambodia to hold the Olympics than it would be to have a baseball game played in any state you choose.

    2. @nelliebly Yes there is more than one Asian country that has no deaths from Covid and as I am living here I watch America destroy itself under Trump the Dictatorship which says it has all the answers according to them but when questioned about how, they simply cannot say how. Enough of Trumps “how great we are”, “what we have done is so beautiful”, “we have little work to do”, “the perfect phone call”. I hope for the sake of your great country he does bring it to its knees before he goes.
