Obama Says He ‘Literally’ Left A ‘Pandemic Playbook’ For Trump That He Didn’t Follow | MSNBC

  1. Trump’s sole purpose as President has been to erase Obama’s legacy. If that means killing 200k Americans, so be it. Vote him out!

    1. @Willy Wise just the opposite. You are the low inform voter. I can’t believe you really believe that. He allow everyone to get it.

    2. @chauncey the gardener Ok so not 200.000 but by acting sooner and smarter than 150.000 could have been saved. Maybe if it hits your own family and God forbid you lose someone close, you may understand more of what’s going on. We lost 1000 people yesterday. THATS ok with you?

    3. As long as the Americans dying are liberals then I’m perfectly ok with that 😂 Trump 2020! 💪🏼🇺🇸

  2. If you follow what’s happening? Then any rational human has to conclude Trump acted in spite for Obama. Got 220k people killed over it. Therefore he murdered people over Obama.

    1. What Trumpers will hear in what you just said is that the 220k people died because of Obama……they have very selective hearing….that is why they follow Trump and believe everything he says…..but then the Caveat “any rational human” would not have registered with them either!

  3. Listening to President Obama speak it’s like having the finest steak, biggest shrimp, rarest prime rib, escargot, caviar with all the fixings. Listening to Donald Trump is like ….. Hot dogs, chips, stale cupcakes an old coffee and s*** for dessert!

    1. @anonymous sorry dude, swing and a miss. I don’t know if Biden is the answer, but I DO KNOW that tRUMP isn’t. The fact that you think a vote for tRUMP is a vote for freedom shows that you already know who’s on your ballot. And exactly what you think about your fellow citizens.

    2. @Ryan Statt you’re wasting your breath. Trumpster are like their leader, they don’t read or research for themselves. They are a bunch of mindless parrots.

  4. Trump: ” Book? I never saw any book. Pence, do you remember seeing a book anywhere around here? Can someone describe to me what this thing you call a ” book” even looks like.”

    1. “And i’ll tell you what if it was a good book i would know. I know about good books, fantastic books, the best books. If anyone knows about good books it’s me”

    2. Fauci had the playbook. It shows how stupid Trump and the Republicans are. He could have sat back and just let Fauci get to work and he would have won this election.

      Instead, he went with his ample gut, and fouled it up. Pretty much how he fouled up Atlantic City, went bankrupt at least four times, and is in debt up to his ears.

    1. @T J You wanted a list, here goes;

      I don’t know why it is said he didn’t do anything, basically, since 2010, the whole world was in economic growth, no one went backwards. And even up to Covid, Trump was trending the right way, no different than any other country Btw. But his leadership against Covid has gone missing with disastrous consequences. That is the main issue.

  5. Trump would never use something from the Obama administration, even if it would save millions of lives. That’s the severity of his pettiness.

    1. Exactly he even fired the entire team who’s sole purpose is to deal with things like this because they worked for Obama and then complained for months Obama left him with nothing when he’s been President for the last four years

    1. @nofy bn “Yes, I am betting it is crap.”
      You’ll never know
      if you only watch msnbc
      WHAT do you hear NEGATIVE
      about biden on MSM? Common man.

  6. The truth and nothing but the truth from this distinguished man ..Biden is cut from the same cloth. We will be in good hands if Biden is elected.

    1. There is a Simpson’s movie where the president is given like 5 different folders with different options and the president says “ I was elected to lead, not to read” and proceeds to just pick at random. That reminds me of Donald Trump 😂😂😂 please let’s vote this crook out of office.

    2. No way, he reads. He used to keep a collection of Hitler’s speeches on his nightstand as discovered in a 1 on 1 Barbara Walters interview

    3. He needs a picture book. A pandemic playbook has too many pages and too many words. Maybe a picture book for him to color would have kept his attention.

  7. Trump is getting really pi$$ed about having to go through this, campaigning is cutting into his time on a Golf Course.

  8. I enjoy Obama’s speeches,,,you can tell a huge difference, listening to truth as opposed to lies..

    1. I enjoy watching all you “trump haters” get triggered. Check this out, on November 3rd, I’m voting TRUMP and sucking down a Wendy’s Double Pretzel Pub Bacon Cheeseburger!

    2. @Celldroid116 Trump haters , why would anybody waste their precious time hating Trump when he hates his own self, I mean look at him

    1. @Brotha in Beijing fast and furious, targeting conservative groups, using fbi to spy on trumps campaign. I highly doubt he will because it will look bad a US president going to jail. Hillary might but she keeps appealing her deposition. You can easily find out the democrats are full of lies and corruption

    2. @j Nice – “using fbi to spy on trumps campaign.”, I suppose morons like you are so fact averse, that you will never come to grips with the fact that it is a lie.
      Trump will be going to jail and no one will consider it “looking” bad.
      So besides conspiracy theories, you got anything else? People aren’t imprisoned based upon conspiracy theories.
      BTW, no one can “appeal” a deposition you dumbazz.

  9. Remember when we had a President and a first lady that actually did something… not a Con Man and white house decoration’s ??

    1. You people are hilariously mental. Even during the democratic debates your own people were attacking Obamas policies. And your VP candidate called your Presidential candidate a racist and said she believed the sexual misconduct allegations against him. Weird. And I am not even a fan of Trump!

  10. Trump says this pandemic would magically disappear. Maybe we can make him magically disappear in November.

  11. Not just a book Obama left a team Trump admitted dismantling. “I don’t like people sitting around” Trump said . 219k are lying down forever.

  12. Obama is angry, frustrated, yet still gets his point across without shaming, insulting, name calling, denying and belittling. THAT’S what a REAL president looks and behaves like.

    1. @Limswittman : You clown, you probably believe Trump when he claims he’s done more for black people than anyone except “maybe Lincoln.” The VAST majority of the decline in black unemployment over the past decade was during Obama’s administration. Then Trump mishandled Covid, which has disproportionately killed black people and forced more of them to lose their jobs.

    2. Agree with you, hands down. Obama’s like a breath of fresh air; Trump resembles a whining eight-year-old who’s throwing yet another temper tantrum because he can’t get his way about everything he wants.

  13. Obama is one of those presidents I wish could stay for more than 2 terms, not the biggest fan of Biden but Trump is a dumpster fire.
