Sen. Schumer Criticizes Trump's 'Reckless' Remarks On Unproven Drug | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Has anyone noticed that at recent press conferences, he does not have a bunch of people lined up behind him. ( behind him all the way)? All of a sudden he has realized that the testing of white house personnel and secret service is not 100% accurate. Can a reporter ask him about this?
They ask… Trump will respond fake news…i pray Trump is taking medication..likely for Rheumatoid Arthritis ….
@Thomas Armsworthy Jr Because it not occur until 2017.
O.nly 29% of americans believe and trust jim jones( trump ) laughing stock of the world no other leaders believe him not even putin nor kim jou.l the whole world no all u have to do is praise him abs tell him how smart he is what a sucker he is
Thomas Armsworthy Jr what is the big big felony charge you say they have committed? You know nothing about the law…you sound like a fool!
Yesssssssss
Look: Trump has PROVEN HE DOESN’T CARE, BUT FOR HIS OWN REELECTION. TO
STAY OUT OF COURT AND THE SDNY IS WAITING.
@Jo Jo you so funny! i bet you make liberal last long time:)
@Wesley C. I hope so..wouldn’t say much for the morn-schmoe viewers to be able to think critically.
so..wesly, STAY HOME!! DON’T GO OUTSIDE!
@Brent Anderson You should do the same so they can’t call you a hypocrite.
@Brent Anderson No you are truly a schmuck! So STFU Brent when adults speak!
@Ace Gkhan You are my BITC_..I own you
If we allow trump’s behavior to become normal, then we are a nation of five-year-olds. The countries being run by adults will trample all over us.
M2 – What do you mean ‘if’? We are already there. Nothing has changed in three plus (3+) years and it continues to get worse. I hope we make it to November 3. The Republican Senate had a chance to correct this but failed in it duty to the Constitution and the
American people. The ‘Orange Angel of Death’, A.K.A ‘White Eyes’ by our Native American citizens has to go, and go now!
Weve been a nation ran by a deranged conspiracy theory cult leader since 2016
The damage has been done. America will never again be seen as ‘Great’.
He is lying…but if something happens to Trump; he will blame obamagate 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Trump will promote every drug which makes him a great again, even others will die from !! Kushner has shares in this companies, so every buyer will make him reacher
I just read something about him awarding a 300 million dollar contract to some new pharmaceutical company to………….you guessed it make covid-19 drugs and generic drugs. I wonder if they are related.
Their all about the Benjamin’s..🤑💸💰💲..
Hydroxychloroquine out of all the drugs being looked at is by far the cheapest.
Profits off of our sickness. He gets richer the more people that get sick. Putin’s Playbook.
Come on Dems stomp on trumps head help get him out
Leeanne Bishop remember to Vote! That seems to be only way to stop the craziness, and bring back life !
And by January they plan to bring in the MILITARY and go door to door to try to VACCINATE you allegedly !!
Trump and Biden; two wings on the *SAME* bird..and I am *NOT* voting !!
Gov CUOMO and Mayor de Blasio, as all politicans and mainstream media are – nothing more than *LIARS* over this *plannedDemic* !
*MSNBC* PROPAGANDA brainwashing for those without any common sense:

@Nanc McDougall If you don’t want to vote for the president, fine. That’s understandable, given the choices. But you should vote on the rest of the ballot. If the Dems can retake the Senate, then Trump will effectively be emasculated… assuming that he wins a second term. You can vote for everyone else, and just leave the choice for president blank.
@Nanc McDougall if you really believe the pandemjc was planned by democrats in order to control you, you are either really self centered or just really dumb. If democrats had the power and ambition to start a global pandemic, you have a lot more to be afraid of than being controlled. Think with your head please.
@Nanc McDougall – ( I am NOT voting !!) Well, shut the FiretrUCK up. If you are not voting, you have no ‘skin’ in this game. That is about the dumbest thing I’ve heard. It’s like cutting your nose off to spite your face. Stop and think for a second, it just might be a new experience!
Is anyone else wishing 45 gets this virus?
Got My VOTE!!
I’d rather he actually was taking Hydroxychloroquine.
@IHCTerra He’s morbidly obese..73…stays up all night snorting Adderall and anger tweeting! The Stroke will be tremendous!
Claire Wright The only voice that had impact was Trump’s because he is the President of the United States of America! What HE says and does has the power to hurt our nation. Why don’t you get that? He, unfortunately for us, is the leader of the free world. So stop comparing him to others. There is no comparison to be made.
@Claire Wright The travel ban was called xenophobic because it banned Chinese people and not other travelers from the same region. So Trump allowed 40,000 people in, some of whom were infected. That is why Biden said it wouldn’t work. Guess what, it didn’t. 100,000 are dead because it didn’t work.
The virus was not coming from Chinese people, it came from infected people of any race. So blaming average Chinese Americans who were never in China for it is freaking idiotic.
The people in Chinatown had no more chance to be infected at the time than you were so Pelosi went to prove that Chinese people were not infected just because they were Chinese.
Trump flaunts his wealth constantly. He is always bragging about his properties and hawking product like the Presidency is an infomercial. He doesn’t care for the average people. If they die, it is no big deal as long as it doesn’t hurt the stock market.
Whining about rich politicians is so incredibly obtuse. Trump’s cabinet is the richest ever. Full of Wall St execs, oil execs, Betsy DeVoss, Trust fund brats and anyone who gave Trump millions of dollars for an appointed position.
THE LINCOLN PROJECT
THE MANHATTEN PROJECT. THE ALLEN PARSONS PROJECT. THE
The Corona Virus Project?
Mr. G. I applaud them wholeheartedly !
👍 👍 👍 👍
I’m IN!
He did because he’s compulsive and it’s just like sharpie gate
He only cares about saving face. He wants, like a child, to appear faultless.
@CAMBODIOUS LEONARD Your not fully understanding the issue. He is supposed to be our leader and he says things like we should look at injecting disinfectant into our bodies and windmills cause cancer. How are you able to in any way support someone who says things like that?
very easily at this point. its funny you think the dems are truth tellers here…. they literally are the oligarchs. ive watched the DEMS lie about a great many things. but them lying about this drug was the final straw. they are willing to let people die in order to gain a political win here. I honestly believe that Don is trying to get people to actually look up stuff on this drug rather than just listen to what politically charged democratic pawns say about it. HE HAS NEVER ONCE SAID JUST TAKE IT. he has always said speak to your doctor. I know that when I took politics out of the situation I learned a whole helluva lot about this drug. you do realize that while the dems are calling it deadly its being used around the world RIGHT NOW as a prophylactic? not just for malaryia but as a potential covid prophylactic. other countries give it to their healthcare workers in order to help slow the virus. but please just listen to your democratic overlords. they know whats best for you. You all make it real easy for this independent to vote republican this time around. your heads are in the fricken sand
great. im willing to bet you have actually no clue what it is you just said lol. so tell me then. why is the EMVS recommending it as a potential treatment?? file:///C:/Users/Ken/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/INetCache/IE/6108GP7H/EVMS_Critical_Care_COVID_19_Protocol__4_2_2020-revised.pdf if you would like I have about 15 more studies I can produce for you showing the potential this drug has. or if you would rather just believe whatever the democratic propaganda machine tells you ill understand. life is simplier in your bubble
Mary Lynne no one can get hydroxychloriquine without a prescription. If their md prescribes it..and they are following a specific plan..and being monitored…what’s the problem. Do you think it’s better for high risk individuals such as the president to just take their chances with the virus? I can’t understand the logic being used in this discussion. The president didn’t buy this on the black market and started taking it..he has a prescription.
@CAMBODIOUS LEONARD LOL.Derek /Oz you propaganda TROLL FARM COVID-19 has been plugging your brain cells since 40 YEARS???
WHO knew, ya twit!
Here, more “garbles” for you chronic liar for your bigly daddy Trump:
Trump’s Maralago Mafia and manipulating COVID-19 Data to suit their billionaire DONORS’ self-interes t for a quick reopening?
Noooo! WHO knews? Must all be chinese HOAX, no, no godless Dems SOCIALISM? 😂😂

Trump lies.
24/7.
About everything and everyone.
True.
@Charles L Jones It is a cure, shut up liar.
@Marcia Wilso There is no empirical data showing that it helps prevent the virus. This drug helps mitigate symptoms. He’s just so desperate to prove himself right, ultimately it doesn’t matter, his other lies are so much more damaging.
Big facts….
@Tommy Buswell Doctors in other countries have used this drug and it’s helped, unfortunately all you’ve heard is opposite by the haters that can’t stand Trump. Every second of every day, the fake media creates lies and confusion, By actually doctors and scientist. They twist and fabricate real information. Instead of actually telling the truth. It’s impossible for them to stop and you’re following by believing. I’ve never seen the news media or our political party act like this. The Democrats wanting $$$$ for everything else but the AMERICAN PEOPLE. Who really need support from them right now, our fellow Americans are unemployed because of a virus and some of there Governor’s refuse to reopen WHY?????? Where the numbers are declining so once again this is truly a very very sad time
@Marcia Wilso I’m telling you, Hydrochloroquine will not keep you from getting the virus, it only helps mitigate symptoms, thats the fact. All this other crap about the media or whatever is moot. I don’t need corporate media to inform me, I just listen to the mans lies on television. If you aren’t insulted that this man has such a low opinion of your intelligence that he is willing to tell easily disprovable lies right to your face then I don’t know what to tell you.
Don’t be surprised that Trump will say he’s doing Clorox injections next time.
@Bucky Pinata lol Trump gets his cult from the poorly educated with grievances because success has passed them by.
None of which describes me.
@Jaak Savat well said.
@Bucky Pinata wasn’t it Goebbels that said, if you keep repeating the lies eventually they’ll believe it
@Jaak Savat Yes. Point?
That’s Next Don’t We Know.
Senator Schumer says “Maybe he’s just lying” I would ask Senator Schumer, were his lips moving?
Trump lies almost everything. Babe! Common sense.
Lol. 😀😜
Whenever are they not moving, spewing lies every time?
he’s not a certified lip reader, so no
CHUMP wants to push a drug sold by one of his donors PERIOD!
that’s because they have to keep the wheels going,
Trump is trying to distract us. 4% of the world’s population has 28% of the world’s coronavirus deaths. Trump is responsible.
Doug E LoL. I live in Ohio.
derek hoagland Hey you dumb inbred/truebreed Nazi foot-soldier for Trump, Derek, here is more garbles for YOU:
Trump’s Maralago Mafia and manipulating COVID-19 Data to suit their criminal billionaire DONORS’ self-interest for a quick reopening?
Noooo! WHO knews? Must all be chinese HOAX, no, no godless Dems SOCIALISM, right Derek you kidsfudger ? 😂😂

@Oz John yes you did, read YOUR POST —-‘ last time i checked they are news anchors.’ you typed it – I did not say you brought it up , so that,s was fake ,,, so you say/type something and 4 hours later you did not say/type it, . ok . I got it now , that sounds like something, i have heard before,,,,, if you put oz john as your name who is being fake. my name is my name, if you need to look up my military record that,s my name. if you would like to say sorry i was wrong, i did say that ,,,,, that,s cool but no worries if you don,t i.m out , i,m done, stay safe
Oz John if you are calling live press conferences fake, you either have your head buried in the sand or another place that would make you a contortionist.
Troubled Sole I never said the press conference was fake. Nice try though. Lol
As per trump’s announcement America really has: “…NOTHING TO LOSE.”
Scott Douglass the drug is safe so you have nothing to lose.
YEAH ONLY THEIR LIVES…Why is he still breathing????
Scott Douglass what would benefit the world is if the US lost Trump!
Lets pile up body bags and coffins in front of the White House! 👀
Yes! Feed the MAGAts to the Maggots!
And then let’s all go out for Chinese food
He is probably getting a kickback from the makers of this drug.
He is. He’s grifting again.
Wouldn’t Be A Bit Surprised!!
their living paycek to paycek
Every single one of you are idiots…. Just show how ill informed the left is. This drug has been around since the 30’s. So it has no patent its generic. This drug is dirt cheap…. And since it lost its patent many companies carry and make this drug. So if what you are saying is true, trump had the foresight to invest in every single on of these companies just so he can promote hydroxiclorquine for this exact moments. It’s not because there have been studies that have came out that point that the combination of drugs has a positive effect. Why not look to do a new study here in the US and see what we find and be able to help people now quickly. Opposed to a vaccine that will take 18 months at least
@Francisco Martinez he knows to invest in something everyone will desperately need. Who cares if he has to get us all sick for us to need it & buy it from him & his buddies?? President ranking: dead last.
A sane person doesn’t listen to the current “chosen one” leader of America.
Hydroxychloroquine is a prescription drug. That means a “sane” doctor has to prescribe it to you.
Either he is lying (95% probability) or he has Dr. Adderall Quack as his whitehouse doctor. Or both. He obviously cares more about doubling down on his pretending to NOT be dumb AF, than he cares about directly killing Americans. Afterall, once you’ve already killed 80,000 Americans through lying, blazing stupidity, and self centered denial, you’ve already crossed that line. How much proof of mental illness do we need? Thanks repubs, faux news, and Putin’s troll army! Your goal of destroying the American system of government (specifically the “for the people” part) is succeeding.
Lie, and continues to lie, about haven taken this drug just to have people(some) believe that he won’t get the virus as a result. This man is obese, has poor arteries,
a heart condition, and is soon to be 74 yrs of age, prime conditions which would put a person in the hospital.
swallow that liberal koolaid yum.. Or stop being a robot and think for yourself.
Screaming Eagle, good for you. Sticking up for the less fortunate adolescent man-child.
its a simple matter of surrendering your mind to the talking heads of the media telling you what to think, or questioning everything and thinking for yourself. Which will you do?
MOSCOW MITCH THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! VOTE THIS CRIMINAL OUT!
No more unqualified, radical judges. Bipartisanship makes America strong.
Reckless, thoughtless, irresponsible, criminal.
REPUBLICAN SENATE ARE RESPONSIBLE VOTE THEM OUT TOO IN NOVEMBER!
