How sweet it is to have a team of doctors and free medication (the latest drugs) and care when you catch Covid 19. 99.9% of Americans don’t get that! Trump is shameful, and is responsible for a poor response to the pandemic!
Don’t believe they have it. Another rabbit hole trick.
Closer to no response you mean.
@connie baldwin And your intelligent comments make you better or in any form appear less of a dimwit than you have already presented? Grow up and stop acting like a child.
@William H. Baird – Not to mention how sweet it is to have a helicopter (also paid by the taxpayers) to get you to and from the hospital.
@Phillip S Exactly!
Your leader can’t even protect his people and he does not care about you. They’ll get the best healthcare but charge you thousands for the same – while trying to remove the ACA.
@D MP have you ever seen a clever fool? 🤔
@Ralph Davis I am one of them
I personally think the man is evil. And UI do not use that word lightly.
Exactly right, very well said.
Let’s reiterate: *TRUMP DOES NOT GIVE A CRAP ABOUT YOU!*
Just better tell all Americans ” If the president got Covid-19, you all can get it!”. It is a common sense.
Buddhism and Dao have won
It is weird that You support Trump. Trump support white America, and Christian. You probably look like Chinese.
But you won’t get state of the art treatment and will get sent home if the symptoms aren’t serious
@Buddhism and Dao have won brianless misfits will infect their children & watch them die.
@Melanin Magdalene good you’re better off home then a infected hospital.
@Canis Africanis oh, people were wondering how trumpets would process this. It’s fake, so you don’t realize trump is fake .
..this isn’t the first time he has had doctors lie for him. Bone-spurs excuse. Candyman doctor telling us he was extraordinarily healthy in 2016. Also the press-conference doc said he was “mildly obese”. That was all the proof I needed to see through their farce.
There’s something particularly repugnant about doctors who lie for political gain.
No wonder the rest of the world looks at America with disgust.
This is all just a big distraction. Trump isn’t sick and never was. Not one doctor has owned his positive test result. It was Trump who said he was sick. This is BS.
@Dave M This Russian Mole in the Oval Office is conning Americans 24/7!. Even the people of a third world country would have had a traitor President/Prime Minister in jail by now for being a foreign agent!.
@R OK then – go make a citizen’s arrest.
@Dave M Well awesome that he’s wasting yet more resources at Walter Reed instead of the WH and screwing around instead of governing. Great job America!
Sounds like the Trump cultists do not care about stopping a beating heart unless it’s abortion, ultimate hypocrisy.
Just think of all the dead and all those suffering because our leaders wont be honest compassionate human beings.
parddle doodle
ok , Just to make you happy let’s say they are honest compassionate human beings or NON Democrats. Now what?
we still have the dead and all of those suffering. You really think politicians decisions stops viruses and disease?
@Alex Hamilton Yes leaders are responsible for MITIGATING risks that help stop the spread of viruses and diseases. Otherwise you would have had more than 2 dead from Ebola under Obama. But I guess that’s something for smart NON Americans.
@Alex Hamilton no, you don’t tell people it’s a hoax and it will go away and then send broken ventators.
He hasn’t appeared to be sick!
Don the Con….will have a MIRACLE CURE COMING SOON!!!
WAIT FOR IT!!!!
HIS GULFING BUDDY IS THE CEO OF THE COCKTAIL DRUG COMPANY!!!!!!
GEEZ….
HE IS SO PREDICTABLE!!!!!!!
THIS IS A SET UP!!!
DON THE CON SET THIS UP SO HE’LL GET ALL THE CREDIT FOR WHATEVER VACCINE GETS FIRST APPROVED BY THE CDC AND FAD BUT, BUT WHATEVER VACCINE WILL BE AVAILABLE SOONER THAN JANUARY 2021 IS SOMETHING I WILL NEVER EVER TRUST BECAUSE IT TAKES TIME TO DO S CLINICAL TRIAL ON A VACCINE TO PTOVE IT’S EFFICACY AND IT’S SAFETY!!!
GIVE TRUMP A DAILY INJECTION OF DISINFECTSNT AND HYDROCHLOROQUINE THEN LET’S STAND BACK AND OBSERVE HIM, HEE-HEE!😄😂
TYPICAL NARCISSISTIC BEHAVIOR. VOTE HIM OUT!
We dont have to wait!!! President Trump is the miracle and we prayed for a speedy recovery and God delivered the goods!!!! Thank God. It will so great to see him serving the next 4 years and continuing to MAGA.
Maybe he injected himself with bleach
Richard Isinu They only way he will ever MAGA is when he is out of office!
Seriously, anyone who has ever worked for someone obsessed with their public appearance regardless of party will see what is happening- it is universal
Exactly. Trump is a product of American TV culture. He only cares about how he appears, not who he actually is. The Trump family is shallow, shallow, shallow.
“If you can’t take care of your sick in the country, forget it, it’s all over. I mean, it’s no good. So I’m very liberal when it comes to health care. I believe in universal health care. I believe in whatever it takes to make people well and better.”
― The Donald @ Larry King Live, October 1999
“A friend of mine was in Scotland recently. He got very, very sick. They took him by ambulance and he was there for four days. He was really in trouble, and they released him and he said, ‘Where do I pay?’ And they said, ‘There’s no charge.’ Not only that, he said it was like great doctors, great care. I mean we could have a great system in this country.”
― The Donald @ The David Letterman Show, January 2015

“Hillary Clinton I think is a terrific woman. I am biased because I have known her for years. I live in New York. She lives in New York. I really like her and her husband both a lot. I think she really works hard. And I think, again, she’s given an agenda, it is not all of her, but I think she really works hard and I think she does a good job [since joining the Obama administration as Secretary of State]. I like her.”
― The Donald @ interview with Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren, March 2012
“I know [Hillary Clinton] very well, and I know her husband very well, and I like them both. They are just really terrific people. I like them both very much. But I think you’ll be looking at the record of Hillary Clinton. And how did she do as secretary of state? Probably above and beyond everybody else and everything else.”

“I really believe the Republicans are just too crazy right. I mean, what’s going on [in that party] is just nuts.”

“In many cases, I probably identify more as Democrat. I’ve been around a long time. And it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans. Now, it shouldn’t be that way. But if you go back, I mean it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats. …we’ve had some pretty bad disaster[s] under the Republicans.”

[Flip-flopping on the electoral college: from “disaster” to “genius”]
[Trump in 2012, when it appeared that Mitt Romney might win the popular vote but lose the electoral college]
[Trump deleted the following tweets:]
“[Obama] lost the popular vote by a lot and won the election. We should have a revolution in this country!” (Nov. 6)
“The phoney [sic] electoral college made a laughing stock out of our nation. The loser one!” (Nov. 6)
“More votes equals a loss… revolution!” (Nov. 7)
[The following tweets remained:]
“We can’t let this happen. We should march on Washington and stop this travesty. Our nation is totally divided!” (Nov. 7)
“Lets fight like Неll and stop this great and disgusting injustice! The world is laughing at us.” (Nov. 7)
“This election is a total sham and a travesty. We are not a democracy!” (Nov. 7)
“The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy.” (Nov. 7)
― The Donald @ Twitter, November 2012
[Trump in 2016, after winning the electoral college with narrow wins in three states, while losing the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes]
“The Electoral College is actually genius in that it brings all states, including the smaller ones, into play. Campaigning is much different!” (Nov. 15)
“If the election were based on total popular vote I would have campaigned in N.Y. Florida and California and won even bigger and more easily” (Nov. 15)
― The Donald @ Twitter, November 2016

[Speaking of his admiration for strong authoritarian government]
“Q: What were your other impressions of the Soviet Union?
A: I was very unimpressed. Their system is a disaster. What you will see there soon is a revolution; the signs are all there with the demonstrations and picketing. Russia is out of control and the leadership knows it. That’s my problem with Gorbachev. Not a firm enough hand.
Q: You mean firm hand as in China?
A: When the students poured into Tiananmen Square [in 1989], the Chinese government almost blew it. Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength. That shows you the power of strength. Our country is right now perceived as weak… as being spit on by the rest of the world.”

Antifa is arson – https://youtu.be/oH6q5fzJ8Ng
The democrats need a distraction from their failed mueller report, the steele dossier that fell on its face, their failed impeachment attempt, their failed trump grab em by the you know what tape, their failed attempt at trying to say trump called all Mexicans animals when he specially said MS-13…. I mean dam there’s a lot more but my fingers are getting tired.. Biden graduated number one in his class and doesn’t sniff girls hair on tv right? Man you liberals love to be lied to
Vapid Won
Obama was incompetent
For the last four straight years, Trump, along with his surrogates, have adopted and used the most fiendish propaganda tactics on his followers. They have told so many lies, that Trump’s followers can no longer distinguish truth from fiction.
Goebbels in 1941 said, “There are so many lies that truth and swindle can scarcely be distinguished.”
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
— Joseph Goebbels
It would not be impossible to prove with sufficient repetition and a psychological understanding of the people concerned that a square is in fact a circle. They are mere words, and words can be molded until they clothe ideas and disguise.”
— Joseph Goebbels
@Salesad Mieze How about YOU go back to GRAMMAR SCHOOL.
@Paulo Well of COURSE it would sound like the DEMS to you, what with you people being so TWISTED!👎
Sam Brown I’m not American , just giving you a viewpoint from over the pond, it’s doesn’t look like the Dems are rooting for Americans, it’s so obvious and it’s so confusing why you are being taken in so badly , just sayin
David J Frightening
Salesad Mieze what?
A psychopath willing to let his most adamant followers die for a rally; will have no qualms letting random strangers die for lack of healthcare
Sad it’s the truth.
Jim Jones 1978, jonestown. They all drank the koolaid. Koolaid was poison. and even though they kept seeing how the people who drank the poison died horribly they also drank the poison. It’s a cult and Trump is their leader
It’s okay if he puts his followers at risk, they’re’Disgusting’ anyway, so he says
BC stargazer
be very careful. The virus is no respecter of mask, social distance or political party. Don’t say something today
you may regret tomorrow.
It’s a hoax folks none of them have it they don’t want to answer questions and they don’t want to talk about the virus let alone talk about the death count and what to do about it so use the covid-19 as an excuse to hide what a sham this Administration is and that’s end this Sham and it’s just another diversion to take away from his taxes and why he didn’t pay anything
Lol Olivia prolly is thinking I’m glad I got tf outta there when I did.
Trump only lies when he opens his mouth.
Donald Trump is a true sick man of being a pathological liar. He is truly a psychotic moron who only enjoys lying to his own followers and supporters.
That’s true but I don’t hate one man enough to condemn my whole country
D. b.
and you do it either way? Got it 😀
like when josey said she isn’t racist? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPUFwmZN9eo&feature=youtu.be
@TooSlowTube Yes, he lies when he tweets. And his mouth is open. You forgot that his tongue is laying on the side of his lower lip, you know, like the way your dog looks with his head out the window going down the road.
Especially, The Americas have been without a government and a President.
Tyke Handsome typical left response, ad hominem attack , says the man who calls the American people the “ Americas “ 🤦♂️Why is it the people telling others to be re educated are the dumbest ….
@Paulo Democracy only works if those in power follow democratic policies. Too bad America. You had such promise.
@Paulo Canada, Norway, Denmark, Swedeb, UK, Australia are not working? Interesting. Is America an example of working? Where people have to claim bankruptcy if they get cancer? No thanks
@Paulo You are not providing an UK viewpoint at all 🤣, more like a Farage EDL viewpoint.
@Paulo I’m sorry for you being criticized, as people can be cruel. Keep expressing your thoughts. I find myself correcting errors too. I have had 5 college writing courses. YouTube has Grammer and writing skill classes that I watch to refamirlize myself with those techniques. The main reason I comment is to buttress writing these skills. At 72 years old and retired I try to keep my mind active and I can see where this country is presently going. There is a mountainous problem with the Republican Party that has sold its soul to extreme greed. God bless and keep your chin up.
tRUMP just announced he’s leaving hospital today. Also states there is no reason to fear covid. Despicable.
This ALSO happened at the same time. The scandal is the point, to distract with pomp.
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/05/nyregion/eric-trump-investigation-election.html
Gotta get the old people to come up off their dollars
Of course…. the tweets are coming out…fake noose
Seeing how one person quickly infects dozens of people in front of your eyes. They call it a super spreader for a reason.
Trump tweeted today: “Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life.”
He has learned NOTHING. He has the best healthcare in the world, so he survived so far. Many Americans don’t even have insurance, let alone access to world-class healthcare. If they were in Trump’s situation they would die, so they better be afraid.
@edmundo oliver That is really stupid. Lots of scenarios make that possible. Not all people who do not have insurance live under a bridge.
@Flummoxed Marmoset no but you file bankruptcy to protect what you have, so if you own a home or business buy insurance .
I will just let Trump and all of the MAGAs get it first. Then after they reach herd immunity, I will come back out.
Kittykitty Katt it is sure that he didn’t infected.
Do you believe he had covid,it is all drama to advertise the new medicine that trump has a share.He was acting as a salesman.allegidely.
