  1. Trump: “So in a way by doing more testing, we’re just making ourselves look bad.”

    Trump was clearly reflecting on every test he ever took in school.

    1. Why do you think he’s desperately trying to hide his test scores? He’s always been as bright as a broken light bulb.

    2. we are waiting to be tested my doctor office told me they will let me know were are the test trump stop testing every day test test

    1. @Robo Trump Pence lacks working class appeal. Trumps energy is needed to win the rust belt. Pence would get obliterated being portrayed as a crazy religious guy

    2. Jumper : Who do you suggest? Surely not Joe Biden you would have China and everyone else screwing us over again. You may not like what he says but he is doing things that are getting results. The pandemic was an unforeseen catastrophe an issue anyone would have difficulty working through so he is doing his best. If you think you can do better run for president. I am tired of people slinging mud at our president…where has respect gone! You think there is a better option in a Democrat…surely you can’t be serious. I would not vote Democrat if my life depended on it.

  2. Trump’s very survival is dependent on people believing his lies. He knows that if his cult ever stops believing in his lies, he’s toast.

    1. Lyle Sanders put down the booze and go kiss your sister. It’s ok. Trump says you can fly and be free.

    2. @I Care Interesting reading. Some truth in it. But most of your treatise is not true. Just a quick aside, but how much American debt did PRC buy so that Bush 2 could prosecute the 2 wars? And not just from China. The big exodus of jobs being outsourced started with Nixon and Chou En Lai. It has only gotten worse since then under both parties. Trump promised to bring back manufacturing. But it was just an idle promise to get votes in the Rust Belt. I wonder if as many people will believe him again? I breaks my heart when I see old videos of things being made in the U.S. This happened with a fixed and steady purpose under both parties. Also. The American consumer cannot be made to buy an inferior car to that made by the Japanese and Koreans. Suggest you refresh upon Gresham’s Law and its application to manufacturing. Also suggest you review Nash’s work on international finance, production plusescand minuses, and developing markets. My friend, I wish it was a simple as you described because if it was we could fix it. Lastly, are you aware the all of the new frigates for the Navy have been contracted to an Italian conglomerate in Trieste? That happened on Trump’s watch. Might be interesting for you to find out the sources of the funding to build these? But American shipyards only build Navy warships, river ships. Now how did the cops end up getting the contract for the frigates?🇺🇸

    1. 60% on an English test in high school gets the grade of F. 5% of US population tested AFTER 3 MONTHS = Trump is killing us on purpose! His entire presidency – all he’s cared about has been his base. So let the killings be concentrated there. It is only fair!

    2. @Robo Trump dummy! we have the lowest death rate per capita BECAUSE WE’VE ONLY TESTED 2% OF THE POPULATION! Denounce Trump. Shame the devil. Save your soul.

    3. @Billy Anderson Pence promised 4M weekly by now – a month ago! Empty promises. More lies. Stall tactic. Just wait – help is ON THE WAY. Tomorrow never comes.

    1. America is 34th on the nations rank of testing. Besides, massive testing should have been done at the beginning of the crises to avoid deaths.

    2. @Norm Norm maybe your 34th if you ignore Europe Asia and Oceania. But your got the most corpses rotting in trucks fridges and eskies

    3. @Mickey Finn oh yes, smart…”get the illegals out,” then you will have a precipitous drop-off of food available; are you at all aware of who picks your produce or cuts your steaks? You may have no general knowledge but, I bet you can list all 2500 types of semi-automatic rifles available for you to choose from. Have fun playing “patriot!”

    1. @Jeff Whipple The comparison is no longer relevant because South Korea has it under control, and are no longer seeing a heavy influx of new cases. Of course our testing is going to be higher now than a place that really isn’t testing anymore. The reason it was compared in the first place is because they had their first reported case on the same day that the US did. Jesus Christ how is this stuff so hard to grasp for you people.

    2. @Randy Baylen 250 deaths compared to 80, 000 I think it’s more than the food. Our colleges are free here in Scotland so is our healthcare, totally free.

    1. @SouthSide Chicago It seems to me that you are the ignoramus and by the way you can cuss me all you want doesn’t change the fact that you and 45th are sailing in the same boat. Cheers.

    2. If it were… “America First”! We lead ALL NATIONS ON EARTH in C-19 unemployment, infections and deaths. 4x the amount of country #2! Like Trump said: “We will be so tired of winning, we will ask him to give us a break. So much winning!”

    3. @Zachary White Trump says it’s a completion all the time! “We’ve done more testing than anyone else in the world. Other countries are calling us to find out how we’ve managed to do so much.” Both LIES, of course! What really matters is:
      total population: 320M
      total tested: 4M
      % tested: 1.5%
      Dude: that’s NOTHING!
      Still nothing: 10% would be 32M. That’s 8x more than we have now!
      And the body bags keep mounting!
      And Trump supporters still stick by him until their last breath. How many of the 83,000 dead were Republicans? It’s disgusting to even think in such a way, but not to Trump. He divides us ALWAYS – even with a pandemic!

    4. @SouthSide Chicago the reporter asked him why can’t Americans get test like the White House can. that was the question. he went off on a tangent because you cannot defend the indefensible. Individual 1 is guilty of negligent homicide! what percentage of the 83,000 Dead would you say is his fault? 20% 50 % 80%? remember the first two months he did nothing other than Banning the Chinese. how much better a place would we be in if he had been a real leader? but according to Trump – he’s perfect; couldn’t be better; nothing could have been done sooner! a narcissist until the very end.

    1. Renee Speece
      It’s sad that speaking truth, being reasonable, and being intelligent makes you a Democrat. Just shows how far the Republican Party has fallen.

    2. Renee Speece Yes, that would at least be Truth in Advertising. Uncle Mitt, the docile water-carrier for the Plantation.

  3. “Daddy can I be President even if I dont have any knowledge of government?” Sure son….you’re a Trump….what harm could you do? “Thanks dad.”

    1. @Donald Lemmons his recommendation to democrats voting in November to swallow light bulbs 😂

    2. @Lyle Sanders you do remember the mid terms? Didn’t go so well for you asswipes. Wisconsin, folks braved freezing cold, the virus, threats from the GOP, waiting in line for hours to vote in a very liberal supreme court judge. Wisconsin went full on liberal, that is really shoving it up the conservatives asses.

    3. ” daddy can i be president even if i dont have any knowledge of government and i’m complete crack head? …. ,what Berry??!!! , you are not my baby … what harm could i do? “thanks Michael”

  4. It’s shameful how the Rep senators “with the exception of Romney” have been enabling Trump to lie and deceive the american people…. We need a leader not a liar.

    1. “WOW, you know nothing!” Go live in South Korea then if you believe these fake numbers.” We are American not south Korea you brainwashed dumb shits.” Look at CDC website…you will find truth haters..

    2. What a trope. A leader like who? We have a leader, we need people to help him not 150 million uneducated lazy morons mocking him on YouTube

    3. @t1tacal nICE TRY cHINA YOU SCUMMBAGS!!!!! MAYBE YOUR TRUMP DADDY WILL TEACH YOU BETTER ONE DAY.

  5. Romney is a brave person and a hero! He seems to be able to do what is right way better than most of Congress.

    1. @Bill Moran Why is it that you people are almost always barely literate? The hilarious coincidence of your last name being moran.

  6. This Admiral Dr. Giroir should read his oath of office then repeat his lies. No more credibility left.

    1. @Cynthia Arroyo
      He couldn’t wait to get into the WH. Left Melania on the steps to be escorted in by the Obamas.

    2. Pierre Bibeau I don’t trust the Pentagon at all anymore, in fact I view them as an enemy of the people. Eisenhower warned us long ago.

    1. @Ardessa LD you haven’t seen that Pelosi fought to bail out corporations over workers and amd the lobbyists that fight for those businesses, over workers.

      The democrats get your money by pretending to be against Trump and the Republicans to get donations…then the side with every bill that where he asks for huge corporate funding and increases to military spending in a time of global austerity and decline in American foreign warfare.
      The democrats know you’re stupid, the republicans know their lot are stupid.
      Party means nothing, there is only one political class and it’s not blue or red it’s green.

    2. @Ardessa LD my apologies, the second paragraph was more broadly aimed at many who have replied.
      I’m not even an American, just lived in politics and see the extent to which the democrats exploit their supporters derangement over losing in 2016.
      Hell, W Bush is a war criminal but somehow Trump isothermal worst President? Pelosi is complicit in that. Trump ain’t bad, there’s just a lot of sore losers.

    3. @Rainbow Rover House democrats pass every major funding bill Trump wants. You are blind if you think there is a difference between the two parties.

    4. they are smarter, and they know you are stupid, so they wait Nov 2020 to shovel it in your face again 😂😂😂

    1. Joanna Reyes I don’t know if you remember when Romney ran against Obama but Trump supported him and campaigned for him and then when Trump ran for president Romney came out against Trump. Romney is a deeply religious man and truthful because he had rather have to answer to Trump than have to answer to God. When he ran for president I seriously thought I would vote for him but I couldn’t stand Paul Ryan and Romney wanted to go back into the Iraq war so I didn’t vote for him.

  7. Never been a Romney type of guy but it seems like he had an experience with GOD about the truth! Wow!

    1. Red Man all you have to do is watch Trump give a speech regardless of the outlet and you can see he’s an idiot.
      If you can’t see it then you’re either blind or an idiot also. 🤦🏽‍♀️

    2. @Red Man Truth doesn’t belong to anyone, but you are more than welcome to take credit for all of Trump’s lies as your STD of #TDS flares up while you suck at the teat of #TrumpStateTV, Hannity, Limbaugh, etc

  8. I can hear the Republicans now, as they sit around smirking at each other: “Over 81,000 voters dead. With luck, most of them were Democrats.”

    1. Visit the Fox News website comments section and yes, they are literally saying “I hope all Democrats die”. Not very Christian of them 🙁

    2. @Nurse Blacke Even with the death toll being inflated, it’s still on par with the flu. It’s not a hoax; but it’s also not the Black Death you libs hoped it would be.

    3. ALL the GOP seniors that I know in this Red State of Alabama are strongly committed to getting Trump and his thugs out of office…These are our backbone of society, who live and die by character, and believe that actions are backed up by their word, and that God and being a Christian means first and foremost being kind and respectful toward others (to be that shining light on the hill) and they definitely are opposed to Trump 100%.

    4. @Katie Hettinger, speaking of hiding numbers, the numbers have been heavily inflated simply because any death that shares a symptom with corona can be marked as such and hospitals get more funding.

    5. carol 1 Only if you get Obama to answer to Benghazi, Obamagate, fast and furious and covering up for Biden-Ukraine. I have many more questions but I will settle for these.

  9. drumpf: “We have closed more stable doors after the horses have bolted than any other country in the world. maga maga.”

  10. “And again, when you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done.” -Donald Trump 02-26-2020
