Trump Addresses A Nation On Edge As Local Officials Lead On Coronavirus | The 11th Hour | MSNBC
He said it was a hoax.
@Bellicose Ataraxia Obama said Hi from Aruba snowflakes
Gregg Because Trump called it a hoax, also told people to spread the virus and has contradicted the experts at every opportunity. Shutting down travel is pointless, always is when you can’t stop Americans returning home. Trump has proven to be NOTHING BUT INCOMPETENT, its sad that you cult members know how Trump is such a pathetic Snowflake, you have to pretend otherwise. I would have liked Trump to have taken this seriously from the start, instead of his lies and self pity. I would like him to show concern for the American people and not himself only.
@Chelsey Benson i know it
@Slak 1 what you think is a big 0
Tonia Housnick the amount of people that love you
has he contracted it? he sounds breathless and stumbled over basic words, he’s sweating!
@Bud Fudlacker Spelling police as well… Pitiful
@Thugsy DaClown Not usually but if you liked that joke that was funny in 1994, I just thought you might try owning it a little better?
I thought so too! Suppose time will tell..
@M A Nonsense, that’s a good way to try to change the subject. Crazy talk helps, right? 🙄
Sheri Mignano —— OVER BASIC WORDS!
He should have had 100 million masks manufactured a week after China quarantined 70 million people. He is a week president, he doesn’t deserve his position
Masks don’t protect you from the Corona virus it prevents people from getting other people sick like a person with cancer or a person with a very bad immune system that’s why they wear masks in surgery in hospitals not for themselves but it for others if you don’t believe me look it up you would need a full body suit to help you buying masks are a wastes of money.
He speaks like he’s as bored as I am listening to him!
That’s what “Teleprompter Trump” sounds like.
He was trying to read. No room for his stream of thought rantings at this point.
He can barely read his own auto-cue.
@Brian Allen I’m betting he just started to read it completely unprepared. He didn’t know what he was going to say until he read it on air.
He sounds like a robot or someone who is doing this under force not because he wants too absolutely no emotion what so ever.
lmao best comments ever
Wet cardboard is more inpiring than that speech
What happened to the Stalinist State of the Union energy???
…Putin controls him. Mother Russia switch him on and off!
ABSOLUTELY. It doesn’t come off genuine in the slightest.
He always blaming someone – dam aren’t we tired if this
Ginelle Day quit pointing out his strong qualities. 😂
Ginelle Day I know for a fact it was an attempt to get the repubs out of the White House. If you can’t see that your blind and dumb.
Jazzie Red Your opinion of what is extremism is actually independent critical thinking. The Far Left & the Far Right actually question power, we don’t bow down to it.
@Tanner Shortnacy If those are the attributes you want in someone then you don’t want much. In that case you picked the best loser out there. The most dispicable person on the planet you idolize. There is no hope for you if you don’t get the big picture. There are none so ignorant as those who choose not to learn. Someone who says they never do anything wrong believe him. He part truth as he never does anything. The entire populace of the earth excluding his cult members know what a clown he is and how stupid. And yet his minority still don’t get it wow you are in the minority be proud to have a moron represent you. He is only in this for himself and no one else. Eventually he’ll kick all his sheep to the curb. Why can’t any of you mention one thing he has achieved other than break all laws use and lose his so called friends. He has fired more people he claimed were his friends and he hired. Yes thats how you treat your friends. God help this country. You might try reading history books before it’s to late. He’s turning Americans against each other not working together to better our country thats not what Presidents are suppose to do. But then he wants to be luke Hitler or Chinas and Russias he is an egotistical maniac.
Tired enough to remove him in the 2020 Elections.
This has to be absolutely demoralizing for a con-man like Trump. He’s use to running businesses and casinos into the ground, and then filing for bankruptcy and sneaking out the back door before anyone knows what happened.
David J lol perfect
Ok there is one plus.
Stocks plummets because no one trust trump.
Stocks plummets because no one trust trump.
Without test kits, we have NO IDEA how many infected people we already have here in the US!
you wanna test 320 million people?
yer outta yer mind.
if you tested 100,000 a day it would take 3,200 days or 10 FRIKKIN YEARS!!!
& that’s if you got the results back the same day.
& then what??
45 million have had flu since october & 45,000 have died …….& no one cares.
it’ll all be over in a coupla months & we will say “WTF were we thinking”????
ok show me one country that has test or other kits? None, they all rob us blind,
Richard Owens – the US is already a hot spot
Joe Biden’s kids are selling them
Juju Rellama :Richard
Trump speaking in his hostage voice he always uses when he’s forced to say words written by others that he doesn’t really mean.
COVID 19 has taken the Moron hostage. Trump said the virus has treated him unfairly.
He knows he may not survive–he talks like that because NOW HE IS SCARED.
sasha dlg President poopy pants Von bone spurs can’t use his bullying cowardice on a virus which he’ll get if he hasn’t already!
Doug E He is being forced to read the prompter. Why do you think he’s snorking towards the end of his speech? He can’t STAND being told what to do.
@Doug E I never thought of it that way, but yeah, dead on….
Yup.
trump sure is skilled at the talking like a vegetable……..
I’ve seen Turnips of greater intellect.
King Milanovic lol!!!!!!
BS HUNTER hahaha!!
That’s not fair you are insulting vegetables
Trump’s message is full of SELF-PRAISE, full of BLAMING (Europe), still DOWNPLAYING the danger. Poor message.
@S Hyes, but you need a president for that statement to hold up not the drunk uncle at the Christmas party
jullian Irvine you have to start somewhere, not that it will happen.
trump’s an intellectual and moral midget. putin could had delivered a better speech.
@S H He was raised a deflector. And in he wasn’t raised well.
@Wendyay55 Vote Democrat in 2020.
dont know why he is talking…citizens dont believe one word he says…
@S H
He is restricting travel from Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.
But he is not restricting travel from the UK or Ireland which today announced it will shut down its schools.
I wonder why.
Oh….I know…HIS FREAKING GOLF CLUBS!!!

i do,
@Peter Nolan That tweet was directed at his bigot rally folks.
Not the nation.
He should just go on Fox & talk to those zombies
@SusanBailey AmazingEstate you hate the democrats so your comment is ironic.
But, he just keeps talking!
Reading is Fundamental…… he never mastered it.
says the nobody to a billionaire
how abt your idol, that stuttering dumbo Biden?
Fact-Check: Obama Waited Until ‘Millions’ Infected and 1000 Dead in U.S. Before Declaring H1N1 National Emergency
https://pjmedia.com/trending/fact-check-obama-waited-until-millions-infected-and-1000-dead-in-u-s-before-declaring-h1n1-emergency/
rational thought might be an added bene
@Brian Schwab There’s nothing to enjoy about the destruction of America by moronic jackasses like Lyin’ Dummy Trump and yourself.
Somebody must have told him forcefully to just read the teleprompter and not stray off into his usual incoherent rambling. He looks scared, now that he knows this isn’t a hoax.
S H thank you! I’ve been looking 🙏🏾
BeBop Aloola thank you! Appreciate you.
@Sensei Erb your welcome use caution it’s dropping Fast … Watch Cramer on Fast Money , information technology is all ways a good 1 & pharmaceutical industry now .
He did add in that no other president has ever put forth a relief package ??
Only about 25 other presidents have done that same thing for multiple reasons through our history.
@Leo Right Funny Stuff. However his will be YUGE. Gotta save those Corporations & Cruise lines , Simple middle-class families & Americans & others in need , Uhhh, Not so Much . What a Country, Another Day in this Soap opera SNAFU
A flat, uninspiring, and confusing speech…..
no i think you are discussing your cognitive abilities
@Bellicose Ataraxia and insulting people wont make them sympathetic to your stupidity
Is what obama would have given
@benny ko most people find my sesquipedalianism and academese confusing….you need to catch up to my erudition….it is time to change your Depends, empty the boots of urine, fluff up the manbun and return to your safe room
@Bellicose Ataraxia it’s better for you than me. The economy isnt doing well right now btw.
What’s sad is that he had help writing that speech and that’s the best they could do! China won this Trade war.
China has really profited from Trump’s presidency: https://youtu.be/hhMAt3BluAU
What a sad weldview!
China devoted their entire government resources to control this virus.
We are at war with it.
It requires immediate actions to keep it from spreading uncontrolled throughout the population. Short term economic losses are nothing compared to the catastrophic loss of life that will result from the failure to acknowledge the situation and deploy testing on a massive scale immediately.The orange one is still focused on blaming others, suppression of evidence, and the economy. Many people will suffer and die because of this.
“We’ll see your trade war and raise you a global pandemic.” Remember, this is the guy who “ran” a casino and didn’t know the rules of craps.
First it was a democratic hoax, then it was the media’s fault, then he and his admin claimed it was contained, he disagreed with all the experts, claimed he knew more about coronavirus than the experts did, claimed it would miraculously disappear.. now he tries to act like he has done something good.. what morons he, his admin, the entire GOP, fox conspiracy channel and their uneducated viewers are
Then he may have been exposed to it.
Courtesy of a congressman who went to CPAC
@James Ricker And he still kept shaking hands with his supporters afterwards. He’s so smart, NOT.
a shrewd business man. Thats why people voted him into office
@Juju Rellama Wow did they get conned😀. He inherits a good economy now’s he’s completely tanked it and watching people die left and right while he sucks his thumb. Stable genius NOT 😠
Congratulations America you elected and supported president clown!
Robert Garvey
Uhhhh, we didn’t all vote him in genius, but he is all of our problem.
Most people voted for Hillary by a healthy margin, the electoral college BS bit us in the butt.
So don’t lump us all together, that just makes you look like a fool. Many of us fought this, don’t get it twisted.
Trump supporters should be ashamed and we shouldn’t forgive or forget them. They are worse than Trump, they enabled and allowed it.
@Bellicose Ataraxia There is something wrong with you mentally if you seriously believe what you are saying. Go get help please.
I agree! Only I didn’t vote for Donald the Clown. Doesn’t he sound a little winded? Donald should be tested.
@Bellicose Ataraxia Get help.
Most of us in the US voted for the intelligent choice – Trump lost the popular vote. It’s our Electoral College that put this criminal into our White-House.
We’re going to do our best through our votes to remove him and as many of his cronies in 2020.
Blaming Europe for EXACTLY the same weak response HE ”organised” !
The only HOAX here is Drumpski himself..
Bellicose Ataraxia if your comment is trying to defend and push the blame onto the journalists then you are either deluded or not very intelligent. Trump has been lying to your face about this virus outbreak and is more concerned with saving face, the economy and blaming others including Obama.
Yawns…sorry,i had a weird dream about butt kissers?and jails,no joke!!🤢 now i get this🤣🤣🤣🤣i need food.gosh the aTrumpets are even TALKING LIKE IT😆😆Bless yas.but one day yall look back and cringe 100/per cent.s.Good luck America, i dont mean to rude at all!!👍🤗🤗
I think it would be a good idea to test a few people in the USA before blaming everyone else, France and Germany were about to ban people traveling from the USA because of the lack of testing so this is just a preemptive strike to save face. The genie is out of the bag now so it is far more important to work together across the world to slow down the rate of infection and allow the medical facilities some chance. There are only one hospital bed for every 3250 people in the USA if only ten percent of people get this virus in the next month or two and 12 percent need to be hospitalised that is c. 36 people per bed , any reasonable person would be worried but of course we are all over reacting, time to stop playing politics and lead .
@LadyJAtheist nope.Trumpet infected, and he selects his wannabes butt kissers.dont ask how i know 😚😚📢🤣
@nsgkuaov i agree.x
Did you say “Immediate payroll tax relief” Mr. President?
So your socialism is okay but Bernie’s socialism is wrong??
Which one is a lie then Donald??
