  1. Can we believe anything that comes from this WH. I can’t .
    Trump couldn’t afford another debate like the last one so who really knows.

    1. Ziggy Trump is the least qualified people to hold the presidency~~~~~~ Pence is not qualified either. I think he has to get permission from his wife to pass gas.

    1. relocate to jail…don,t even think about letting him off the hook for his crimes!!!!!!!!! no pardons no mercy!

    1. Rosalie smit YOU, girlie, are as DELUSIONAL as TRUMP is! Well, ALL of his uneducated followers are just as delusional, too!

    2. @Night Hawks wholeheartedly agree, proud to say I’ve been Free from FB for over 3 years, what a waste of time

    3. @swagedelic I only joined to keep an eye on my son, and the minute he moved out on his own I cancelled. It still astounds me that people literally place great importance on how many FB “friends” they collect, as though that defines their worth.

    1. Trump doesn’t just lie about the little things. He lies about everything big and small. He even lies about treason and federal crimes.

    2. its not a big thing. since it’s also reported on CNN, MSNBC and other fake media its all FAKE NEWS!! Its all radical left liberal virus! Just move on! Just look at the the markets and economy – both are doing great! It’s all liberal scam!! Boys just aim and shoot this liberal virus!

    1. Trump had a submissive low self esteem base of morons. They will believe anything he says. Despite him lying his whole life(trump university/cheating on his wife). They don’t care. Submissive to the core.

    2. @David Hale you are an ignorant fool. They are in very close contact with those patients for many hours a day. I know this cause I am a front line worker in a hospital. Nothing is 100%, but masks are our best hope.

    3. @David Hale The proud infant boys didn’t seem to think it was a “framing of the question” issue. Have you seen their new logo and flags? 😂

    1. Malcolm Pierce Well, didn’t TRUMP make some declarations back in March about ‘his’ 10,000 stock of ventilators? Perhaps the entire West Wing will need to access that ‘hoard”!

  2. Pence is claiming he tested negative for Covid but can we really trust him?? Everything coming out of this administration is a fricken LIE!!!!!!!!!!!

    1. Very convenient for trump to catch a mild case of covid now after doing so badly in the debate he will have to isolate, so no more debates.

    2. Lana Kahl 🤔 Wonder if TRUMP has a “special” ventilator in ‘his’ stockpile of 10,000…..that will allow him to TALK while being intubated? 🤔

    3. tommy One is only ‘negative’ until one is tested ‘positive’! Meaning, a person CAN get infected mere seconds after the test has been performed!

    4. Yeah, they will tell us if he is positive. They told us about Trump, eventually, so they would tell us about Pence.

    5. Trump 🤔 tweeted that “we are All in THIS together” and now it’s a “we” thang and not an “I” thang no more …

  3. Hey donny .. you lost the debate, your taxes were leaked, a new audio tape of Melania came out and you can’t say anything bad about white supremacists … ☝️🤔 Is Donny hissing in his bunker again

    1. 🧐Trump catching covid19 is a lie to cover up The encouragement of white supremacists to “stand by” and Trump refused to step down when he loses the election which puts our democracy in peril , don’t forget the facts for the lies

    1. You only win if he is hospitalized and dependent on a ventilator for survival. That would be a major win.

  4. With Trump being a sociopathic liar, he has caused the country and the world to take this “information” of a positive test result with a deer lick sized block of salt.

    1. Thank you. As soon as I heard the news last night, my thought was, who believes him? Or his aides or press secretary or associated sycophants? This is how tRump has poisoned our democratic republic–distrust, mistrust everyone. Just like in authoritarian regimes. Look for major voter suppression, it’s started in Texas, will happen in other stares with Republican governors. They know they are losing…

  5. Anything to move the narrative off white supremacy. Why would I believe this is 45 truth. Remember Covid-19 is a democratic hoax. #byeboy

  6. Don’t believe it folks, be very careful here, there is something very fishy here, change news cycle ? delaying elections ? There’s something up.
    -concerned friend from the mid east

  7. Who’s surprised if Trump made this up entirely just so he can miraculously recover with no symptoms and “prove” it’s a hoax voters don’t need to worry about.

    1. I wouldn’t put it past liar donny dump for one second. He’s a liar. Everything he says is a lie. I look forward to reading his obituary.

  8. Trump Playbook is all too simple – “Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth” – Joseph Goebbels

  9. Trump is a pathological liar… I don’t believe he even has the coronavirus, but if he does he’s somewhere cowering and crying like a little girl…..
