In audio obtained by The New York Times, President Donald Trump told governors during a conference call that he had not "heard about testing in weeks," suggesting that a lack of kits to screen people for the coronavirus was no longer a problem.
‘That’s extraordinary.’ Cooper reacts to what Trump told governors
Do not be surprised when an incompetent acts incompetently.
Exactly. Cooper is not well informed!
@NvSrAgE679 yeah he really is a great President. Very proud of America
Not a huge fan of the Democrats but anything is better than this idiot that we have now. Anyone who is on here saying anything about fake news either you have a short attention span like the president or you haven’t been paying attention to what has been going on. Will never understand it are we even listening to the same person talk.
I don’t understand how this epidemic is a partisan issue to you people. Downplaying a pandemic is killing people. Stop.
Jim Smith I don’t think anyone’s saying he NEVER heard it was a problem and if they are they probably just being stupid to get a rise out of people. What they’re saying is he’s heard it everyday. He never stopped hearing it’s a problem and I know that because I’ve heard that its a problem everyday from professionals, not the media, and I’m not as informed as the president. He then proceeded to lie and say that he hasn’t heard about it “in weeks” when he heard it the day before, the day before that, the day before that, and so on. He just needs to stop lying then this conversation wouldn’t exist.
Anyone else looked at the number of dislikes SMH …. this country is Lost !!!!!
The cult is strong. Nothing will convince them he’s not their saviour.
@Fred Burns: You don’t see anything! Take the blindfold off! It isn’t a PPE for Covid-19.
@Jina Ringhofer Sure jackass..CNN VIEWERS ARE DUMB..ALMOST AS DUMB AS A FAT SLOPPY MAN THAT SAID THIS VIRUS IS UNDER CONTROL
.AND IT WILL BE GOING AWAY IN APRIL 🤣
In most cases it appears that these people are unable to articulate any intelligent comments to refute what is being discussed. Therefore, they are reduced to either insulting presenters, spouting dumb slogans or, as in this case, staying silent and hitting the dislike button, That way they feel empowered.
When they do spout nonsensical garbage, (such as Fred Burns), and are hit with facts, they stay silent and move onto the next article that they feel conflicts with their delusional support of this POS President.
As long as the likes vote in November, they will crawl back to their holes.
Wouldn’t you like to actually tell the public the actual truth just once before you are taken away…just once???
Trump said nope. I’m going to lie and distort to the bitter end.
Everyone: Mr. President we have a testing problem.
Trump: i havnt heard of a testing problem.
Everyone: we are litrally telling you we have a testing problem.
Trump: yeah but i havnt heard that we have a testing problem.
Literally trying to explain stuff to a 5 year old.
Robert Jones Thanks there is some hope and im sure you’ve heard by now a treatment using Hydro chloroquine with zinc has been effective and i beleive its the way it will come under control . Be safe my friend and good luck.
@Robert Jones Misleading? It was the ACTUAL voice of the govener of montana!!Just cause you dont like the fact that trumps lying to the american people once again doesnt mean you can just mAKE THINGS UP.
@James green Its more for the people who test positive so they wont spread it to other people. jreez,use your head before you go of complaing. Wait,are you a milenial? lol
james mack Every where ya go….
@Damon Coleman my fault im wrong. I thought this clip was from when they had a conference with all the governors a couple weeks ago.
The tests, they’re great! I haven’t heard about any problem with tests, but we’re coming out with Trump brand tests, and they’re great! The best tests in the world! They’re going to be huge! Tremendous!
👍😂
Yeah and can we be sure those “new” tests won’t give false negative so that Trump can show a decline in cases and order everyone back to work? I wouldn’t put it past this administration.
@Modern Minds it’s amazing what, according to Trump, people come up to him and say.
There are so many tests, people are getting tired of testing-testing-testing.
Hilarious sarcasm. I love it.
This is quickly turning into a surreal nightmare
@matteo gottie what?? He was saying it was a political hoax by the Democrats you damn fool ! And not to worry it would go away by spring! Way back then! Well I hate to burst that damn bubble but that is NOT happening! Maybe if he would of taken it seriously like everyone else told him to it wouldn’t be killing thousands! And destroying businesses and families!
Jeffrey English Trump is gonna be your daddy for the next 4 years.
Cry some more loser.
Quit watching CNN, you’ll sleep better.
Overnight… literally
@RFI-Crypto Lab it could be worse? it could be worse?? there is not, and has never been, a single event on planet earth that could NOT be worse.
Just mention the word test and he turns to jelly- what test has he ever passed??
He has repeatedly complained that the test was awful and it HURT & so forth. Consider that that his personal fearful experience of the test may be influencing this. Not unreasonable.
Bone Spur test
@Bronte: Don’t tell him about the new quicker tests. Let him retake it, with the long nasal swab up his proboscis. 👃 🤫
The “average american” knows we don’t have enough test kits and why we started testing way too late and the President doesn’t know ?
If that is true, we are in real trouble, Mr. President.
Its almost like the average american is not spoon fed desired data from the media.
Anything you “know” you know from CNN. And CNN is lying and decieving you. Now they want to shut down broadcasting from the press briefings and then _”alert you when something happens of interest.”_ QUESTION: Are you ready to lay all your knowledge about your future in the hands of CNN? Even if it affects your life?
WakingRay Trump is gonna be your daddy for the next 4 years.
Cry some more loser.
Average + insurance = Can’t afford the test, you have to cough in a rich persons face to get quicker results .
Everyone knows there is a testing problem; excepting the President. He is either stupid crazy ill informed or all of the above.
Everyone should be wearing masks. It’s irresponsible for the government to tell people not to wear masks. People without symptoms are most likely to spread the disease!
@Grim Reefer A sick population is far less able to rise up against him.
Very irresponsible
There is no martial law against people wearing masks. And Americans often don’t like being told what to do so you should go ahead wearing them. You don’t have to rely on Trump’s recommendations.
Kent Andrews I don’t blame the President because I’ve seen a lot of people disregarding the guidelines completely , No social distancing either I’ve observed this in two hard hit areas with multiple infections and deaths.
At this point, medical professionals have priority when it comes to masks.
“I haven’t heard about testing being a problem” – Is the response to literally the other side of a phone call verbally stating ‘testing is a problem’.
A fact could literally not be communicated any more directly to someone’s brain.
Jim Smith Of course Trump heard testing was a problem, if you paid attention, it’s literally what this whole video is about. Also, if you’ve paid attention for the last 2 months you’ll know he’s been well informed, but do you believe the response of this country has been well managed?
@iSwanqa Uhhh jackass? …you will be the one ..u will be the one that will regret worshipping this orange fat sloppy man.
@James Ryan they will..those assholes would vote for trump if he slapped there mothers lol
@iSwanqa Where do people like u come from? …Hell? …
@iSwanqa love the comments
I pray that most of the America lives could be saved.
COVID-19 has a mortality rate of about 2% so 98% will survive. Thanks though.
Democrats are praying otherwise…
@RFI-Crypto Lab 2% of 320 million people is six million, 400 thousand people. You seem rather flippant about that. Stay well.
@RFI-Crypto Lab
Thanks for correcting that. I notice that survival rates in Europe tend to range down to 96 or 95%. Any insight into why this disparity? Is it due to variation in testing levels?
He hasn’t heard. Hell, l have . And I’m just a random citizen.
@Rex S
No we don’t.
Evelyn Brown Have faith in your country! We will stomp this better than anybody else. This is the USA if you don’t have faith then Godspeed !
That is what Trump does. Like when he says they are very good people or praises Wikipedia and after Assange is caught. He knows nothing about Wikipedia. Lol. He plays stupid. OOPS! He is.
@Rex S well we have more cases than anyone else and are still having a problem with testing.
“But, Mr. President, Sir, we DO have a testing problem!!”
“Testing what exactly?”
Don’t worry, your IQ test came back _negative_ !
He knows. I think he wants people to die, somehow and still try to show he’s a Hero.
Everyone having fun during *THE TRUMP PLAGUE* ?
iSwanqa You realise Trump is fucking you to right?
Artificial Sweetener no he’s not? Lmao I’m in the oil and gas industry. And still working. Dumbass
Cathie Ludemann duh? And so will you little sheep.
@iSwanqa and that’s why God will handle you well you fucking moron..because u praise this orange bastard of a president..u praise him like he is your god.
That is a disgrace
@Artificial Sweetener No ..he doesn’t understand that concept..he doesn’t get the part about Trump fucking him over as well lol..he’s a jackass
What’s extraordinary is that Trump thinks he can say “i didn’t know” “haven’t heard any testing problems in weeks” and thinks anyone in the country believes him. Now that’s extraordinary.
Philip Clarke absolutely. I’m trying to convince them not to listen to him about their health.
Clifford Roebuck I’m in the oil and gas industry. I won’t be crying at all. Made more money now than I ever have. And STILL working 😂
Trump need a baseball bat back of his head.still sleeping
@iSwanqa BOT
@iSwanqa lol. Never gonna happen. His win was a fluke,an abomination. Besides,why dont you morons ever have the courage to actually debate the facts? COWARD!!!Didnt drump say that? Yes he did tinkerbell.
Don’t even think they’re testing widespread in California. They are only testing those hospitalized in the hot spots.
This is what happens when you surround yourself with yes men
Matt O I agree 110% with you. I’ll now clean your glasses.
We have tested more than any Nation in the world. Damn. His lies continuously increase.
Imagine, he could’ve spent 4-8 years just tweeting and having rallies while doing absolutely nothing. This crisis was the first real test of his presidency and exposed him for what he is, a self-serving conman and a narcissistic imbecile. I bet he can’t even keep track of all his lies now.
