Something’s going on that ain’t right. We being lied to again to cover up something.
@Susan Caldwell If you are talking about the MAb treatment, it is being tested for safety and efficacy is many southern states, Mexico City and Brazil. Trump gets to be a guinea pig.
Most likely.

How come he gets the new treatment and his wife ,the first lady does not get the same,,,,its all fake
@Deborah Freedman why in hell would a PRESIDENT be a guinea pig ,and how come he gets it but not his wife ,the first lady ,,,something just not right
Let’s see the positive test results ??!!
If not it’s a political stunt for distraction … everyone hype but we don’t have proof
This is the October surprise that was mentioned about. He will resign… Pench will become the President… and he will pardon the idiot. Finally, it looks like the hydroxychloroquine didnt work, did it. Perhaps the bleach would have worked better. It is time for them to call upon that famous alien witch doctor Stella Immanuel about whom trump spoke so highly about.
@Javier Gomez You are absolutely right. I hope he suffers till Janurary and then then gets well after the new administration is sworn in so that he can serve the rest of his life in a jail with his co-conspirator that fat, hippo faced Barr.
I mean either way, I can’t see how him having it or not is good for his campaign. If this is an attempt to garner sympathy with deception, he shouldn’t have used the very virus that continues to damage his political/economic/personal profiles. If he does have it, it proves to everyone that his claims and actions were unfounded and dangerous lies. It also adds doubt and questions into other aspects of his health, such as weight, age and ability to handle 4 more years in office…….how can he spin this to his advantage?
I’ve said the exact same thing.
@M G Lol…the theater that goes on with this administration. Doesn’t change my vote.By by baby
DROP more sicker. DROP OUT

Now he rolls out all the best Drs and tests and medical help… where was his sympathy to the dead 200,000 Americans? This hypocrisy is just too sweet
How? Btw how acurate are those numbers? And how many died of other issues or how many were like 90yrs old and up? In sure its alot cause tue covid is a old person killer. And experts have said we should all just get sick and get herd immunity…..the reality is no one knows if its dangerous or not. Whats your solution? Stay locked down for years? Maybe stay home for a year or 2? Lets get real america is 23 trillion in debt it can not just stop for a few months thats crazy let alone a year or more without economic failure….people are going to die in every pandemic its going to happen.
@RDA The numbers aren’t that accurate, as many people who die of Covid-19 do not get tested, and thus counted. The real figure is probably two or three times greater than reported.
@Deborah Freedman yes or the numbers could be way less that actually died from the corona virus and not something else like phenomiam or heart failure or old age…..
@RDA This disease is no longer as dangerous as before. It is now about as dangerous as an ordinary seasonal flu. The chances of a person of his age and condition of dying are almost zero. In fact, according to the CDC’s numbers, the mortality rate has fallen below epidemic levels. The pandemic is over but the fat lady refuses to sing. Also, in my opinion, we will all, eventually, contract this disease. CNN=VERY FAKE NEWS
@Deborah Freedman I’ve heard exactly the opposite. Many people who die of Covid-19 ‘DO’ get tested, and the reason is simple: Anyone who’s shown symptoms of the virus before dying, or not, would probably get tested. On the other hand, many doctors were putting the China virus on death certificates without actual tests as a matter of policy. The figures have been shown to likely be overstated, not understated.
Where is the evidence that they have the virus? They are such liars, I need evidence.

Never trust anything a Trump,MAGA Trump cult member or Russian Republican say.
This will ONLY hurt him politically… if for some reason he is lying, this would be the biggest tactical error of his presidency
This was about to happen it was just a matter of time for a covid 19 spread event their wish came true
Yeah I am stunned it took this long.
the Clown laughed at Joe for wearing a mask…thats all you have to know, no need to even piss fart around with his Hoax remarks or Bleach. His wife may die because of the Clown, some of his staff may die because of the Clown but the general public will always remember him taking the Piss out of Joe for wearing a mask……..and that my friends is not Fake news
Steve Tozer is yet another Trumptard using the fart thru trousers analogy
You are aware that masks only stop you from infecting others right, all masks do is prevent your cough from hitting other people which reduces the chance of the person getting infected. So regardless if Trump wore a mask or not it wouldn’t have stopped him from getting infected.
@Deborah Freedman I beg to differ with you ,,, but After months of keeping COVID-19 in check, and despite the public’s cooperation with well-prepared health authorities, South Korea is battling a new upsurge in cases that could dwarf earlier ones. (NPR) I worked in a children’s hospital and you can’t scrub every square inch of a hospital and you can’t filter every cubic inch of air…!

Tozer isnt real
Still waiting on the “beautiful” healthcare plan to replace the ACA….31 days till election.
@ndrthrdr1 Good one!
Republicans dont care.
Hate is what they love.
Vote Biden!
Save this sick country.
@juan Jones remind me who’s burning our cities?
@Gabriel Peixoto Remind me why?
I know who’s burning Portland and Seattle, white people. Also seen some in Minnesota blending in with peaceful protesters. BLM don’t let white people with signs disrupt what the movement stand for. If you see something purge their asses out.
“Here I am…… rock you like a Herman Cain.” ~ COVID-19
This entire administration NEEDS to go fast mov 3 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💙💙
Covid can only work so fast.
It’s a shame that I, along with others, are skeptical with this latest stunt. I’m finding it so incredibly hard to believe. Only time will tell. We must stay vigilant, not be distracted by the foolery and vote – by any means necessary!! Vote!!!
CNN’s Michael Smerconish a Leftist Marxist shyster
Mickey E your comment couldn’t be more ignorant
Clown Lives Matter I live in a swing state and will vote in person for Joe Biden 😝
New Blue 2 That’s right vote for your oppressor 😂
@The Boss WOW!!
A list of all the crap lies from trumptydumpty and his idiotic media supporters. None are fact based.
Did you get a dump from Q?
Is there anyone who keeps count of all scandals and stupidity trump and his administration caused?
– trump contracting Covid because of his stupidity of not wearing a mask
– trump’s outrageous behavior on the presidential debate, not denouncing white supremacy
– trump’s tax return, tax evasion and fraud exposed, plus his massive debt making him a National Security question
– trump not committing to a peaceful transfer of power
– trump’s continuous lies about voter fraud and rigged elections
– the hypocrisy about the replacement of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. trump assigning another conservative judge will result in even more freedom and liberty constraints.
– the Woodward tapes in which trump acknowledges the danger of Covid, knowing it also infects children, admitting to downplaying it
from the beginning
– trump calling the military ‘losers’ and ‘suckers’
– trump not wanting to discuss with Putin the bounties placed on US soldiers by Russia/Putin
– trump calling QAnon ‘people who seem to like him’
, advocating their conspiracy theories
– trump saying the Kenosha shooter acting in self-defence, ignoring the laws broken by this shooter in the first place
– trump putting gasoline on fire in the protests in Portland and elsewhere
All of this just going roughly ONE MONTH back in time!
Look what trump has done in his not even 4 years. Imagine what will be the result of another 4 more years. This may be the last free elections if it isn’t yet to late! If trump isn’t voted out, you will not recognize America within another 4 more years, if there is still an America.
Do you really believe there is one man on this earth that carries that kind of power??? I Only Know One Man That Carries That Kind Of Power & That’s God🙏🏽
Damn you know for a “democrat hoax” this is pretty bad.
Watch him breeze through this and say,,, this ain’t that bad…!

Oh look. Ed is a lil name caller like lil donny trump
@H B It’s a bot. No channel content.
It seems like the debate with Biden made trump stand down and come up with this virus claim.
Is he just lying or not
It could be a hoax just to kill time and let the time pass with white supremacist proud boys statement so this is an excuse take a little mini vacation
@Luis Morero Gutierrez He got it from a CNN spreader.
@Jj Av “This channel doesn’t have any content”
Fake YouTuber
Trumps messaging SINCE THE BEGINNING was that this virus was not that big of a deal and he’s been downplaying it since day 1, him getting the virus goes against his entire messaging he’s been going with for months, there’s no way its not real.. but if somehow it wasn’t real, it would be an INCREDIBLY stupid tactical decision.. this does not in ANY way give any good optics for the President
@Luis Morero Gutierrez That would be political suicide… he has spent MONTHS downplaying the virus and convincing his base that its not a big deal and that they were on top of it… Him getting the virus ONLY hurts him politically
Trump just needs couple doses of Hydrochloroquine. What does he gotta lose?
BREAKING NEWS… COVID-19 has just been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

“It’s October and we had quite a surprise”. What day in the last 4 years have we not had a surprise ?
So you admit that Trump winning would be a surprise.
@BlagoP Do you understand English?
The surprise he mentioned is the IDIOT’S Covid case. His comment continues with the fact that everyday that Incompetent bumbling Nutjob comes up with a surprise.
Got it?
@BidentheAntiTrump : We the People have forgotten the lesson, and so have provided ourselves with the brutal, and possibly lethal, opportunity to re-learn it.
Yeah! Lunatic surprises from Trump administration!
@BidentheAntiTrump Biden excoriated the President’s handling of the coronavirus, noting that more than 200,000 people have died and some 40,000 people are still contracting Covid-19 each day. “The President has no plan. He hasn’t laid out anything,” Biden said. “It’s China’s fault. It never should have happened,” Trump said. Then Trump accused the “fake news” of distorting his record on the virus.
He found out he has Covid during the Harvest Moon – a sign that he’ll reap what he sowed?
Trump: “I don’t know Karma, never met her, I heard she’s nice”
Karma “hold my beer”
I’ve heard that Karma has no menu, you get served what you deserve. He’ll get what he deserves, no matter what.
Good one ug
@Candy : Cheney is healthy and walks free. Bush is healthy and walks free. Yoo is healthy and walks free. Dimon is healthy and walks free.
It seems not everyone always gets what they deserve. Karma is a bit more random perhaps than we might prefer.
@Scourge that’s because there is no God
If this is all real. Everyone at the debate would have to be quarantined and contact traced
Mike Mouers fake news isn’t reliable – https://youtu.be/xrOI_Wdrdo0
Republicans dont care.
Vote Biden!
Save this sick country.
are you a Russian troll do you think trumpy is not sick
